President’s Message: Mary Duff REALTOR REVIEW I picked up a book on levitation the other day and I just can’t put it down! ® A REALTORS® Association of South Central Wisconsin Publication OFFICERS OF THE ASSOCIATION Mary Duff, President 443-4815 Kristine Terry, Vice President 393-0891 Dewey Bredeson, Treasurer 831-0500 While I am thrilled to serve as your 2015 RASCW President, this part of the gig – writing a monthly column – has certainly given me pause. Should I be funny? Should I be serious? I’ll aim for a bit of both throughout the year. My goal is to inspire and resonate as each of us embarks on another day, ripe with opportunity. Here goes… Happy New Year! This phrase is written and spoken so often over these first few days of every year and I often wonder how much anyone really thinks about why they say it. New beginnings seem to speak to us with hope and promise. Perhaps: • We will behave differently (exercise, food, family time, attain "balance", etc.), • Maybe outside forces will go our way (the market will rock, the weather will be awesome, etc.), or • Others will treat us more favorably. While we want it all, it’s that first one that we can actually control – our own behavior.

How we behave on their behalf often dictates the course of the transaction. It is with renewed commitment that I encourage each of us to remain positive and focus on what is best for the parties involved. Each day, we also have the opportunity to add value to each other – fellow REALTORS®, lenders, inspectors, title company reps, appraisers and other affiliates. As discussed in Bob Burg and John David Mann’s book "Go-Givers Sell More," the degree to which we focus on adding value to others will not only enhance our worth in the marketplace, but also in our own hearts. This golden nugget can take the shape of participation on committees within our association, how we conduct ourselves in our transactions, and attending industry functions. Many of you are shining examples of this principle of adding value and I am grateful to have interacted with you and learned from you. All of us get to sharpen this skill and benefit from our efforts – our industry and our greater community will be better for it. With that as our charge, I truly wish each of you an exceptionally Happy New Year!

That was the mind set of Cindy Strange. She also believed in giving people more than they’d expect. Cindy was a long-time and highly valued member of RASCW until her untimely death in 2006. In honoring her outstanding qualities, RASCW inaugurated the annual Cindy Strange Pay It Forward Award in 2011. The Award is given to a REALTOR® or Affiliate Member who is unselfish with his or her time, is involved with the Association and shows contagious enthusiasm in all they do, whether it is serving on committees, participating in or sponsoring RASCW events, or giving back in the community - all without expectation of return. Nancy K. Smith The recipient for the Award receives the proceeds from the annual RASCW Cindy Strange Memorial Golf Outing to present to the charity of his or her choice. The 2014 Cindy Strange Pay It Forward Award goes to Nancy K. Smith of First Weber Group, Dodgeville. Nancy is the Broker/Manager of 5 offices in the southwest part of the state. Nancy is a very active REALTOR® member, listing and selling homes, managing her offices, mentoring and coaching her agents, helping them to achieve their personal and professional goals. If that's not enough, Nancy finds time to give back to the Association and to the community she is so fond of. She served on the RASCW Board of Directors from 2008-2011. In 2012, she joined the RASCW Membership Networking Committee and continues as an active member. In 2013, she was a committee member on the Recognition, Orientation and Nominating Committees. In that same year, she helped form the Southwest Membership Networking Committee where she serves as Co-Chair. Giving back is what Nancy is all about. She is the current President of Family Advocates, a non-profit organization located in Platteville which helps victims of physical, sexual and psychological abuse. She is the mother of three adult children and the proud grandma of one beautiful granddaughter. Nancy will receive a check in the amount of $3500 to present to her selected charity, Family Advocates.

If you have a keybox that is not opening during times it should (6 a.m. - 9 p.m. during Central Standard Time and 7 a.m. 10 p.m. during Daylight Savings) or is reporting the wrong time for showings, you need to reset the time on the keybox.

In fact, the U.S. economy is growing at the fastest pace in 11 years. Recent months have seen the largest gains in employment since 1999. Gas prices are falling, the stock market is rising. This momentum in the general economy should continue to fuel the recovery in commercial real estate in 2015. Principal Real Estate Group, one of the largest managers of commercial real estate recently released its 2015 Inside Real Estate report. The report’s key themes for 2015 are: • Strong Economic Growth – U.S. economy should deliver its strongest year since the end of the global financial crisis, with a healthier labor market and capital expenditures accelerating. • Accommodative Monetary Policy – The Fed’s path of rate normalization will likely be measured and led by an increase in short term rates resulting in a modestly flatter yield curve. In other words, medium and long term interest rates should remain stable. • NOI Growth – Investors should take advantage of improving economic conditions, increase rent growth as a strategy against rising capitalization rates. • Technology, healthcare and housing will drive economic and job growth. • Demand is likely to be strongest for office and industrial property types, which should be well positioned to outperform from a net income basis over the next 12-24 months. • A small downside risk probability still exists. If consumer demand turns sluggish as a result of minimal wage growth and if the Eurozone recovery derails, these factors could adversely affect prospects for U.S. economic growth in 2015. Questions still persist about sustainability of the current recovery. Many local commercial REALTORS® experienced an upswing in activity in the second half of 2014. While the local market data for commercial sales and leasing has been less that spectacular in 2014, the general feedback from Madison area commercial brokers has been: ‘more activity’, ‘more showings’, ‘more discussion of long term commitments’. This anecdotal evidence, along with the heighten expectations for U.S. commercial real estate in 2015, gives us optimism for the coming year. If you want more on the outlook for commercial real estate Wisconsin, if you want to find out where the opportunities will year, please consider attending the 2015 RASCW Commercial 22nd at City Center West.

When the person arrested for this crime was questioned by a reporter, he replied "she was a woman that worked alone-a rich broker." This tragedy underscores the risks in a profession that often requires meetings with strangers in isolated places, as well as the callous and predatory mindset of violent criminals. So what can REALTORS® do about it? The first focus is on prevention. Any criminal act is where motive meets opportunity. You must remove that perception of opportunity. This can be accomplished by first acknowledging the personal safety risks of selling real estate and then implementing strategies to reduce that risk. You must also be prepared to react decisively and without hesitation, on the remote chance you are ever faced in a life threatening scenario. The Top 5 Realtor Safety Commandments • Develop a mindset of Awareness. I can’t overstate how crucial awareness is to staying safe. Remember that the first goal of any attack is avoidance. You are guaranteed to survive every attack you are not involved in. It is simply much easier to stay out of trouble than to get out of trouble. Stay alert. Pay attention to your surroundings. Trust your instincts. • Know the Enemy. As I address the topic of REALTOR® Safety, it is vitally important that you understand that victims of assault are not selected at random. Predators seek out the most vulnerable "target" to victimize. They have a plan. They watch, select, isolate, and then attack. The person they perceive to be the most vulnerable target will be selected for their assault. The violent criminal mindset we are describing in this article will not show compassion or restraint in achieving his objectives. He has committed violent crimes before. He is not new at this. He expects you to be weak, helpless, and compliant. That’s why he selected you. • Never allow yourself to be taken to a "Secondary Crime Scene." Never, as in never. NEVER allow yourself to be forced into a car where a criminal can move you to a secondary crime scene; a predetermined isolated place chosen by the attacker where he has more control over you. Kidnapping is often a precursor to murder. What if he has a gun or a knife? It doesn’t matter. You must do whatever it takes to resist and escape. Let him take your money. Let him take your car. But don't let him take you. • Learn some basic self-defense skills. Focus on learning strikes that target the most vulnerable areas of the attacker- the eyes, the throat, and the groin. Remember you are not training to win a fight; you are training for the skillset to escape an attack. Keep it simple and focus on perfecting a few "go-to" strikes. The famous martial artist Bruce Lee said, "I do not fear a man that practices 1000 kicks once, I fear the man who practices one kick 1000 times." There is nothing wrong with carrying a firearm or mace/pepper spray if you do so legally and are properly trained. But don’t put all your confidence in a tool you may not always have access to. When you train to use your body as a human weapon, you will never leave your home unarmed. • Have a Plan. The criminal has a plan. So should you. With a plan you will react to any emergency situation based on your preparation and training. Without a plan, you will just panic. The same applies to how you will respond if you are ever the target of an assault. You must establish in your mind now, how you will respond in the future. The primary goal when faced with an attack is unconditional survival. You must be fully committed to this objective. Your resolve to overcome the attack must be more than the attacker’s resolve to control you. Expect to be scared. Real scared. Channel your fear into anger, and use that adrenalin powered anger. Shout "NO!" and continue shouting as you aggressively and swiftly apply every defensive technique and tool you have towards the goal of escape. This was not a part of the criminal's plan. The above five safety commandments are the core principles to staying safe and protecting against an assault. They apply to any industry. In next month’s Blog, I will add five more safety commandments that apply specifically to the business of selling real estate. I encourage everyone to take a risk management approach to their own safety. Do an honest evaluation of your own behaviors. Do you expose yourself to unnecessary risks? What can you do to ensure more safety at work and away from the job? How do you carry yourself? Does your body language show confidence or uncertainty? Selling real estate can be an extremely rewarding career. Make it a safe one as well.
