Notes From Your
Executive Officer Tina Grimes
Below is a summary of legislation
supported by the Oregon
Association of REALTORS® that
successfully navigated through the
legislative process:
Happy July! I hope you all enjoyed
your 4th of July holiday. I am giving
my article space this month to an
update from OAR on the activities
of this past legislative session. This
is hard evidence of why your
investment in the REALTOR® PAC
is an investment in your business!!
The following was released recently
from the Oregon Association of
REALTORS® Public Policy
department.
Breaking News: 201 3 Oregon
Legislative Session Adjourns
On Monday, July 8, 201 3 at 2:48
pm, the Oregon State Senate and
Oregon House of Representatives
officially adjourned the 201 3
Legislative Session. This past
session, more than 2,600 legislative
proposals were introduced ranging
from proposals to limit or eliminate
the mortgage interest and property
tax deductions to legislation that
would mandate energy
performance scores at the point of
sale. In all, the Oregon Association
of REALTORS® tracked more than
375 bills this session that would
affect the real estate industry. 2
Access to Seller Financing: On
June 4, 201 3, Governor
Kitzhaber signed House Bill

Bill 3389-Enrolled, will prohibit a
beneficiary from requiring a nonprofit purchaser in a short sale

state’s Loan Refinancing

Deschutes, Jackson, Jefferson,

protected as a result of your
grassroots efforts and
commitment.
Elimination of Like-Kind (1 031
Exchanges): House Bill 3433
attempted to eliminate the tax
benefits of like-kind ‘1 031 ’
exchanges, which would have
resulted in a significant blow to
the recovering market and
deterred real estate investment
in Oregon.
EnergyPerformanceScores: House Bill 2793 would have
required an owner of real
property to obtain an energy
performance score prior to the
sale of the property and to
disclose the results at the time
of sale.
On-SiteSepticInspections: House Bill 31 72 pursued by the
Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ), would have
required mandatory septic
inspections at the point of sale
for homeowners, placing yet
another burden on sellers.
Property Tax Discounts: House
Bill 2480-1 attempted to give
local counties the option to
eliminate the property tax
discount for homeowners that
pay early.
Contractor Licensing
Exemption: House Bill 2524
would have required real estate
licensees managing property to
get a construction contractor’s
license when performing routine
maintenance.
Seller Concession: House Bill
2527 would have modified the
definition of consideration as it
relates to the sale of real
property to require the
disclosure of concessions made
and negotiated during the sale.
Residential Real Estate Loan
Tax: House Bill 331 9 would
have imposed a tax on
residential real estate loans
when the loan amount exceeds
the real market value of the real
property.
Residential Real Property
Disclosure: House Bill 3299
would have required the seller
of residential real property to
disclose, if known, whether the
property is located within one
mile included in the inventory of
significant mineral and
aggregate resources pursuant
to the statewide land use
planning goals. I hope you not only enjoy this issue
of the REConnect, but will take at
least one thing away from it that will

then we have succeeded.

county data with the local multiple
listing data. RPR® is a nationwide
tax program that has information on
over 1 47 million properties as well
as the MLS data and pictures that
go with them. Yet, that information
is also provided to us on a more
local level through our tax
application REALIST.
The past few weeks SOMLS
trainers have been going to offices
to train the brokers about the tools
that they have at their disposal
through the Multiple Listing Service.
The trainers have talked about the
tips and tricks when using
Rapattoni and REALIST. But, the
main tool that has a lot of
REALTORS® excited is
REALTORS Property Resource® or
RPR®.
While REALIST is a robust tax
program that has some great
features it can’t touch RPR® on two
specific and important points:
Reports: REALTORS Property
Resource® collects loads of data on
properties, neighbors and nearby
communities to generate unique
reports that are tailored to the type
of client you are representing.
These reports take all that
information, graphs and charts and

properties are the same. When you
look at comps they usually compare
apples to apples, but not all apples
are the same. RPR® has a ‘Refine
Value’ tool that allows the
REALTOR® to apply any changes
into the property and ultimately get
a better idea of the value. For
example, if the sellers have a new
kitchen then you can input that
information into the tool with the
amount spent and then RPR® will
give a new value to the property
based on the changes made.
REALTORS® Property Resource is
a robust tool that takes some time
to fully comprehend. If you have a
minute here or there, then you
should spend some time learning
more about RPR. You can find
more information about the house
you grew up in or the first home you
owned. The information at your
finger tips is vast and wants to be
used.

Theimprovementofunderstanding is fortwoends: first, ourownincreaseof
knowledge; secondly, toenableus todeliverthatknowledgetoothers.
-John Locke
We work in an industry where trust is one-sided. A client trusts a REALTOR® to help them find a
suitable long term investment that will generate wealth or for the REALTOR® to sell their investment
at a price that will maximize their return. In essence the client is paying the REALTOR® for his
knowledge and understanding of the local real estate market.
Yet, in today’s market the buyer and/or seller is full of knowledge that they gleaned from arm-chair
economists on the news or the political sound bites that they heard. This knowledge that they have,
even though might be accurate on a national or regional level, might not be fundamentally true for
their situation and the REALTOR® needs to explain this to them. And like the quote from John
Locke, the REALTOR® needs to understand before he/she can communicate this knowledge to their
client.
What we find today is that there is a plethora of accessible information out there that can be used to
help you in the real estate industry. We have statistics from National and government organizations
as well as local statistics that the MLS provides. This can also be accompanied by any statistics that
you can generate through Rapattoni, REALIST or RPR®.

Statistics with Rapattoni
Statistics and graphs are what people love to look at. They are an instant source of information that can confirm a
belief (housing market is getting better) or validate a nagging feeling (the demand for a property is declining).
Either way statistics are a great way to put forth lots of information that can be easy to read and quick to
understand.
Each month Southern Oregon Multiple Listing Service publishes statistics about the housing industry in Jackson
and Josephine counties. These stats are a great source of general knowledge for the various areas in those
counties. But, a lot of brokers spend a lot of energy and resources farming areas for listings. Rapattoni has some
great tools that will allow an agent to create statistics for the area they are farming using the Rapattoni search
tools.
The search tools allow the REALTOR® to focus on the area or
areas that they want to be an expert in. Once you create a
search you can hit the statistics button to get the screen that will
look similar to the picture on the right. This has basic information
on how many sold, how fast they sold and the average sales
price they got in relation to the listing price. At the bottom of the
picture you will see a drop down menus asking for a statistical
format. Pick the format you want and click on submit near the
top.
The next picture shows a ‘Market Statistics Report’ for East and
West Medford. Under the title of the report shows the time and
the area that I was searching in. This report has a lot of the
same information that the SOMLS publishes each month, but it
is a 1 month average instead of the three month rolling average.
Finally, you can do the same ‘Market Statistics Report’ by using
the various drawing search tools like polygon, radius and
rectangle. These drawing tools allows the REALTOR® to focus
on neighborhoods to narrow their statistics to target a house or
set of houses.
Rapattoni
allows the
REALTOR®
access to a database of information that can help in their sales
presentation, pricing or gathering information to predict the
future course for an area that they are farming.

Libby and the Cape of Visitability
By Jo Becker, Education/Outreach Specialist, Fair Housing Council
‘RememberHarryPotterandhis invisibilitycloak? Well, here’s a fun bitoffairhousing news foryou!
Nationalfairhousing speakerandattorneywith ForRentMedia Solutions has written a children’s
book(e-book) thatexplores disability1 andaccessibilityfrom a child’s perspective. Anotherbookfor
kids that’s sure to resonate with grownups as well! Checkitout–andsupporta greatcause –today!
Libby, Aria and Benjamin have
been best friends since they were
babies. But now Aria has moved to
a new house and Libby, who uses
a wheelchair, doesn’t get invited to
Aria’s birthday party because the
house has barriers. Hurt feelings
follow…
Then the kids meet Everett, an
adult wheelchair athlete, who tells
them how the disability rights
movement gained successes
through years of public
demonstrations and pressing for
laws. Everett shows them a picture
from the 70’s showing people with
disabilities blocking inaccessible
buses.
The kids are inspired to their
version of public action to achieve
the goal that every new house
would have a step-free entrance
and wide bathroom doors. Learn
how the kids get on the front page
of their hometown paper, as their
method gets them in trouble – and
16
how they achieve a sweet victory.
"Libby and the Cape of Visitability"
is the diary of Libby, a KWD (Kid
with Disability). Written for children
ages 8-1 3, this book raises
awareness of the exclusion created
when houses are not built with
simple features that allow
wheelchair users to visit or live in
them.
For those grownups (teachers,
parents and others) that engage in
meaningful dialogue with children,
this book provides not only a
captivating story and relatable
characters, but a Reader's Guide
with discussion questions and
resources as well. Eleanor Smith is
a well-known civil rights worker and
Nadeen Green is a teacher, writer
and blogger on the topic of fair
housing.
