Click here STAY CONNECTED - GET THE FACTS: January 6, 2014 LEGAL HOTLINE QUESTION: Buyer makes offer and identifies, on line 17 of Form 21, that Form 35 is part of buyer's offer. But, when buyer's offer is forwarded to listing broker and then presented to seller, the Form 35 is not included. During the subsequent negotiations, with offers and counteroffers, Form 35 is never included. At the point of mutual acceptance, Form 35 is not attached. Ten days later, buyer is acting as though they have an inspection contingency and seller is acting as if there is no inspection contingency. What is the status? Was there ever a meeting of the minds? ANSWER: Yes. Based on the facts presented, these parties formed a binding agreement that did not include an inspection contingency. Reference to Form 35, on the face of Form 21, does not in and of itself create an inspection contingency. (Recall that Form 35 can be used to create an inspection contingency and to waive an inspection contingency. Reference to the 1 of 9 1/6/15, 2:54 PM

2 form does not specify buyer's intention.) Nor does the reference create an obstacle to mutual acceptance. Line 17 on Form 21 is a useful tool for brokers to use in keeping the transaction organized... and that is it. Failure to identify, on line 17, addenda agreed to by the parties, does not render those addenda any less a part of the purchase agreement. Similarly, reference to addenda that are not agreed to by the parties does not make those addenda part of the agreement. Finally, reference to addenda that are not included in the agreement does not make the agreement ambiguous or otherwise unenforceable. Buyer's offer includes only the written pages given to listing broker and seller. This buyer's offer did not include a Form 35 and thus, did not include an inspection contingency. The written agreement between the parties includes only the pages signed (acknowledged) by both parties. Since there was not a written inspection contingency included in the terms of this purchase agreement, there is no inspection contingency in this binding transaction.

3 6 things millennials need from a REALTOR (Inman) Millennials have grown up in a technology-fueled world, where personal computers are everywhere, smartphones are the norm and they've grown used to the ability to connect anywhere with their tablets. Facebook was originally created for them as college students. Reality television has shown them that anyone can make a million dollars. Millennials tend to have a tendency toward instant gratification; they believe life is full of unlimited opportunities and are more connected by technology than any previous generation. Right or Wrong: How are you sharing your listing on Facebook? (RISMedia) It is no secret that photos are the most engaging content type of Facebook. Posts with photos make up 75 percent of all content posted to Facebook and account for a staggering 93 percent of the most engaging posts...master the art of sharing listings on Facebook.

These are just a few of the real estate "hacks" I've learned over the years from seasoned practitioners that improved my experience and knowledge in simple yet effective ways. 3 of 9 1/6/15, 2:54 PM

4 TOP STORIES Bailout highly profitable for taxpayers, when you look at the right numbers ( It's always nice to start a year by using the right numbers, especially if they are upbeat ones. So let's start 2015 with the good news that U.S. taxpayers are far more ahead on the financial bailout than almost anyone realizes. Let me explain. In mid-december, when the Treasury unloaded its final shares of Ally Financial, its last major Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) holding, and declared the books more or less closed, it said that U.S. taxpayers had made $15.6 billion. That touched off a debate about what that $15.6 billion bailout profit meant... FAA Issues Drone Warning Again to Real Estate (REALTORMag) The Federal Aviation Administration, joined by other industry and hobbyist groups, has launched a new safety public campaign on the use of drones. But in reminding recreational enthusiasts about the safe use of drones, FAA is also pointing out that drone use remains unauthorized for commercial reasons, and specifically mentions those using it in the real estate industry as still on the do-not-fly list. 4 of 9 1/6/15, 2:54 PM

BEST OF THE LEGAL HOTLINE Question Buyer is in contract on a Short Sale. The parties were waiting for lender consent on 2 liens. Buyer broker received both letters January 2, from the listing agent. Buyer broker informed listing broker that buyer broker needed to get a Form 90SS from the listing agent that officially gives ""Notice of Lender Consent"" even though listing broker already sent both letters. Per the 22SS, all timeframes are dependent on Lender Consent. Buyer broker received the 90SS on January 6. For the purpose of calculating buyer contingencies and obligations, is mutual acceptance January 2 or January 6? Answer Pursuant to the terms of Form 22SS, seller's short sale contingency is not waived until seller delivers to buyer a Form 90SS, signed by seller. It is not sufficient for listing broker to 7 of 9 1/6/15, 2:54 PM

8 forward copies of short sale lender's approval. Just because the short sale lender approves the sale does not mean that seller waives seller's short sale contingency. Seller could object to the terms of short sale lender's approval and refuse to close the transaction. For this reason, Form 22SS mandates that all notices under Form 22SS be given on Form 90SS. Form 90SS must be signed by seller. Paragraph 5 of Form 22SS says that all agreed timelines begin on the day that seller gives notice of lender's consent. Notice of lender's consent is given when seller delivers the signed Form 90SS to buyer's broker. In this transaction, that happened on January 6 and thus, all timelines agreed in paragraph 5 of Form 22SS are triggered by delivery of the notice of consent on January 6.
