A Columbia city council member was recalled from office last night for the first time in almost 34 years. First ward councilman Nick Knoth lost his recall race on Tuesday 531-394. Mr. Knoth was elected to Columbia's city council in April 2023 and since has taken a job with the Missouri Realtors. Recall organizers in the first ward say Knoth's job as a lobbyist with the Missouri Realtors was a conflict of interest with his elected position. But Councilman Knoth disputed that, as does the Columbia Police Officers Association (CPOA). CPOA president Matt Nichols joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", telling listeners that Knoth was targeted by those who wants to abolish the police, adding that the first ward is riddled with crime. Nichols is upset that Councilman Knoth was recalled. Nichols is also praising the election of second ward Columbia councilman Lisa Meyer. Her top priorities are public safety and getting CPD fully staffed:

We're back with our second episode of the month to talk about connecting with people so that you will have clients throughout 2024. We call it filling your pipeline. Many of us focus on getting business. If we can spend time connecting with people with purpose, there generally will be a more steady flow of clients throughout the year. Did you apply anything you've learned from the first episode already? We would love to hear what worked for you! Our email address is in the show notes. In this episode, we will look at the difference between online leads and live leads and a few marketing tips. February's guest is Janet Judd. She's a 2022 REBAC Hall of Fame recipient, Missouri Real Estate Commissioner, former President of the Missouri Association of REALTORS®, and she has won a number of awards in the business. She is going to give you real actionable tips to help you fill your buyer pipeline for 2024. [3:08] Excellent content on your site makes the difference. Janet gives some great recommendations. [4:37] Janet hangs on to hits because they picked her. Respond promptly when they contact you. Janet suggests you host virtual tours and webinars on your site. [7:08] Janet pays the website professionals for content, SEO, and marketing of her site. [10:25] Janet advertises in a neighborhood magazine to 55,000 homes a month. That's generated a few calls that she puts in her pipeline to send a monthly postcard. [16:47] When her leads start responding more conversationally to her texts or emails, Janet knows it's time to set up a phone call with them to slowly but surely reel them in. [18:46] Make sure you have testimonials on your website. Ask your clients for a testimonial right at the closing. [20:29] Janet is a worker bee. She volunteers and works hard. Active listening is one of Janet's superpowers. If you can do that, it makes all the difference. [22:13] Janet carries a wire-bound index card file in her purse to record notes about new contacts. For Janet, Top Producer is her “second brain.” Find your “second brain” that creates a flow. [31:30] Be a resource. It creates credibility, trust, and an emotional connection. People decide with their emotions. The educational approach is her focus, now. [33:50] I'm going to encourage our listeners to go back and listen to Part 1 of this conversation if they haven't already where Janet talks about her system of keeping up with leads and clients. [34:55] Some states allow incentives or inducements, some do not. Check your state law before offering one. [36:08] Some agents hold R.S.V.P.-only open houses as a security issue and let only one person come in at a time. Don't share your personal information online. [38:08] Janet's last word: “You need consistent, excellent service to your existing clients. That's what's going to keep you in the business. … Whatever you do, autograph it with excellence. [39:11] My favorite takeaway from Part 2 was the reminder that everything we do to improve our visibility will cost us time or money. What was your favorite tip from the 2nd episode? If you missed the first episode about great ways to connect with people in real-time, head back and hear Janet's tips to get started. [40:25] We're going to be having several months of episodes focusing on tools to help you communicate more clearly, set excellent expectations, and create great experiences.

How is your business growing and flowing right now? I hope you have a pipeline full of clients who are looking right now or planning to buy or sell in the next few months. We know, though, that hope is not a strategy. We need better tools than just hope to get our buyer pipelines filled. We know that a whole lot is happening in the real estate industry right now. We will be having several months of focusing on tools you can use to communicate more clearly, to set better expectations, and to create great experiences for you and your clients. February's guest is Janet Judd. She's a 2022 REBAC Hall of Fame recipient, Missouri Real Estate Commissioner, former President of the Missouri Association of REALTORS®, and she has won a number of awards in the business. She is going to give you real actionable tips to help you fill your buyer pipeline for 2024. As a reminder, this a two-part episode, with the second part coming later this month. [3:17] Janet is a solo agent in Missouri who has been selling real estate full-time for 38 years. She loves what she does and has a servant's heart for volunteering. [5:42] You are the product when you're meeting clients. They need to know that you're engaging. You need to be credible and communicate to them the value of doing business with you. [11:08] Janet discusses an app that let's you call someone's voicemail when you can't chat. [14:15] For Janet, a pipeline means knowing she will be able to have a buyer close on a property. [15:00] Janet takes the most motivated ones out to show properties. She leads them along the pipeline with frequent contacts and suggestions. [16:04] Janet has buyers in the pipeline for months. She keeps all her contacts in the loop so they don't run off with someone else. She gets them under a Buyer Agency Agreement as soon as she can. [21:05] When buyers know what they want, it's easier to define and find it. Then you have to hold their hand and make sure they stay patient while you do your job. [22:00] Janet discusses the CRM she uses. She also keeps a file folder for every contact in the pipeline with notes. She goes through all the folders each day, making contacts as appropriate. [27:10] Sometimes you lose an opportunity. Ask people who may be a year from buying how often they want you to contact them. Janet discusses how to motivate them. [29:34] Janet invites people to sign a Buyer Agency Agreement at the first meeting. She writes the agreement for a year. It's a two-way commitment. Don't disappear from view. [33:15] Janet's last word: “I really just want you to understand the fact that you're the product. Help them make that emotional decision to work with you and be excited about the opportunity to work with them and help a dream come true — the American Dream come true.” [34:02] We will be continuing with great education to help you work more clearly and more intentionally with buyers.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says mid-Missouri roads remain treacherous this morning, and they're urging you to stay off the road. Columbia Police are also urging you to slow down, saying hazardous driving conditions have caused them to implement the delayed crash report protocol. Columbia Police Officers Association (CPOA) president Matt Nichols joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri". Mr. Nichols discusses CPD's delayed crash report protocol and also weighed in on efforts to recall Columbia first ward councilman Nick Knoth. It's been 33 years since a Columbia city council member was recalled. Recall organizers say Knoth's job as a lobbyist with the Missouri Realtors is a conflict of interest with his elected position. Councilman Knoth disputes that, as does the CPOA. CPOA president Matt Nichols is urging listeners to vote no on the recall, saying Councilman Knoth is being targeted by those who support defunding and even abolishing the police:

Center for REALTOR® Development 056: Residential Real Estate Disclosures with Bruce Aydt While laws on this topic vary from state to state, good disclosure by the seller helps everyone involved in the real estate transaction. In this episode, guest Bruce Aydt joins Monica to talk all things disclosure. They discuss what should or should not be disclosed when it comes to current property status, past repairs, psychologically stigmatized properties, and work done without permit. This episode is full of risk management information that REALTORS® can use to help their clients. The purpose of disclosure laws is to ensure that the buyer knows everything that the seller knows about the property. It is also a protection to sellers, as long as they are honest in their disclosure, because they will minimize their risk of legal ramifications later. As a seller, if you’re wondering whether you should disclose something, then you should probably disclose it. A good general guideline for what to disclose is that if the issue or condition of the property affects the desirability or value of the property, then it is something that needs to be disclosed. The contract from state to state or area to area will help guide sellers. When it comes to past repairs, Bruce’s general rule for risk management is to disclose the history of all major repairs, including anything significant in terms of repairs or replacements. If it’s not disclosed, this could put the seller in a position where they think something is fixed but it isn’t really fixed. When preparing a seller disclosure statement, it is important to disclose in very specific terms. Just like any work done to our cars, try to keep track of any receipts or paperwork for any work done on the property. Monica and Bruce discuss the concept of “should have known” — it exists in some states, but not in others. If the seller has evidence or information that would indicate to a reasonable person that the condition existed, that’s the “should have known” standard. What the average person would know is an indication of a problem that should be disclosed. When it comes to prior information that you may have gotten from the previous seller disclosure or something you learned from living in the house, relevant information should be shared. Anything that affects the current property should be shared. Neighbors, real estate agents, flippers, and heirs could all know information about a listing. Whether a seller is exempt will depend upon your state property disclosure law. Another aspect of disclosure to consider goes beyond the physical appearance or integrity of the property. Many states have laws about psychologically stigmatized properties — these laws hold real estate agents not liable for the failure to disclose the psychological impact on the property (murder, suicide, or other felonies). While most real estate agents do not have an obligation to disclose these things, there are other factors to consider: determining whether the information is fact or fiction, checking state laws, determining relevance, and discussing disclosure with the seller. Another element of disclosure is any work or additions done on the property without permits. This has been an evolutionary area, and the power of local governments is pretty strong in the enforcement of these laws. Even if your seller disclosure statement doesn’t have this on it, it should be disclosed, especially for electrical and plumbing projects. What happens when a buyer does an inspection and doesn’t want to purchase the property? Your contractual documents should be your main reference for navigating these conversations, primarily on how much of the disclosure and inspection reports should be included. There can be legal consequences if prior inspection items aren’t disclosed. As a real estate agent, you can’t give legal advice to your clients, but you can decide if you want to continue forward with a listing. The easiest, most practical risk management rules are two things: disclose any major defects in the property that exist currently, and also disclose the history of any major repairs. Remember if you’re asking yourself whether you should disclose something, your answer is probably yes! Tweetables: “The whole purpose is to give the buyer the opportunity to know everything that the seller knows about the property that’s of any material nature.” — Bruce “When we talk about psychologically impacted properties, what we’re talking about is things that don’t affect the physical structure of the house.” — Bruce “It’s better to disclose these events that occurred at some point in the process than to let the neighbors tell the buyer.” — Bruce Guest Links: BruceAydt.com Additional Links: Crdpodcast.com Onlinelearning.realtor for NAR Online Education Training4RE.com — List of Classroom Courses from NAR and its affiliates crd@nar.realtor Host Information: Monica Neubauer Speaker/Podcaster/REALTOR® Monica@MonicaNeubauer.com MonicaNeubauer.com FranklinTNBlog.com Monica’s Facebook Page Facebook.com/Monica.Neubauer Instagram Instagram.com/MonicaNeubauerSpeaks Additional Bio: Bruce H.

The real estate market and the insurance market are intertwined – in fact, “property” is literally the first word in property & casualty insurance. Both are highly value-based, as higher property values require higher insurance premiums to provide adequate coverage. But there's a bigger picture: the connection between real estate and promoting investment and job creation, where property sales and insurance will then naturally follow.Host Lisa Miller talks with John Sebree, a Florida real estate leader who is now CEO of the Missouri Realtors®. While stressing that every state has or should have international business, Sebree shares how Florida's natural connection to Latin American and Caribbean investors and increasingly the Europeans, are netting benefits for our real estate – and insurance markets.Show Notes:Real estate creation and increased sales create more property insurance sales and activity in related lines, such as automobile insurance. A recent study by the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) shows Florida's commercial real estate sector contributed nearly $190 billion to the state's economy in 2017, the third most of any state in the country.John Sebree of the Missouri Realtors® talked about the connection between real estate and the economy, something he learned while on a trade mission to Germany with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, a commercial realtor, while John was with the Florida Realtors®. “He knew real estate wasn't a widget,” said Sebree about Governor Bush, “and that if we're going to bring jobs to our states, we need to be able to talk to them about quality of life, cost living, cost per square foot, so there is a natural connection.”Countries including those in Latin America and the Caribbean are natural markets for Florida, followed by Europe, because it's relatively close by being within a day's airplane trip. Real estate drives economic development and the insurance sector is one of the beneficiaries. Sebree said he's applied the same principle to his current work in Missouri, which is in the center of the U.S., has two rivers servicing coastal ports, and more rail lines than any state in the U.S. The lesson: every state has international interests and potential to develop international markets.Sebree shared with podcast host Lisa Miller his ideas on how to encourage that international investment and overcome challenges. “Often times, they're looking for a safe place to put their money,” he said. Rather than focusing on selling property on these overseas missions, he said he focuses instead on promoting jobs and investment, because the property sales and insurance on those properties will naturally follow. Looking at things as economic development opportunities creates more economic development.He and Miller also discussed the impact of taxes and regulation on attracting economic investment. Florida's beaches, beautiful weather, navigable waterways for transportation, and no state income tax are all in the state's favor. Missouri's selling points focus on its advanced manufacturing and agriculture technology, in which the Show-Me state is a leader, as well as in logistics.To make it easier for foreign investors to do business in the U.S., the National Association of Realtors® has created a Certified International Property Specialist designation (CIPS). A Realtor that has this designation is specially trained in helping foreign investors through a variety of real estate transactions and related needs. The association's website (www.nar.realtor) has a master database, sortable by foreign languages spoken by the CIPS Realtor.Host Lisa Miller noted that with Florida's economy firmly on the rebound, opportunities abound in the state's thriving real estate market. That means growing opportunities to supply the many insurance needs related to that real estate growth, too. Needs not just centered on the actual properties, but also the new jobs and related economic input created by real estate activity that requires the protection that only insurance can provide. “Food for thought indeed for those of us with our eye on growing our insurance business,” said Miller.Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Commercial Real Estate Packing a Wallop in Florida (from the LMA Newsletter 3/26/18)National Association of Realtors (https://www.nar.realtor)Florida Realtors® (www.floridarealtors.org)Missouri Realtors® (www.missourirealtor.org)** The Listener Call-In Line for your recorded questions and comments to air in future episodes is 850-388-8002 or you may send email to LisaMiller@LisaMillerAssociates.com **The Florida Insurance Roundup from Lisa Miller & Associates, brings you the latest developments in Property & Casualty, Healthcare, Workers' Compensation, and Surplus Lines insurance from around the Sunshine State.
