As I’m sure you are aware of the vote to merge the two Lake

Of the Ozarks Boards of Realtors into one organization was

soundly defeated at our specially called meeting on October

30, 2018. 81 of our 156 roster member were in attendance

to vote. I thank each of you for your time and considerations.

The Bagnell Dam Realty Board voted heavily in favor of joining

the Lake of the Ozarks Board of Realtors.

Your next time to vote is November 6, 2018. It’s the mid-term elections that have numbed us with all the

political ads. Ads cost money, but that’s important to keep the money in circulation, right? PLEASE

VOTE! As citizens of this great country it’s our responsibility to cast our ballots for the candidates of

our choice and vote on the issues that are important to us. Please vote and encourage your family and

friends to do the same here in Missouri and around the country.

The year is coming to an end for your 2018 Board of directors. I wish to thank them for their support of

me as President and the entire LOBR organization. Your newly elected board will take office in January.

President-elect Beth and her board needs your support. There are numerous committees to volunteer

your time and expertise. Contact Beth and she will sign you up!

Sky and I wish you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving. As citizens of the Lake of the Ozarks

we have much to be thankful for………..!

God Bless-----------Keep Selling ! Find some more listings, please!

State Director’s Report September Business Conference

The Board voted to contribute $20,000 to the NAR Realtor Relief Foundation. These funds will be

used to help Realtors in North Carolina and South Carolina.

They also voted to approve some minor housekeeping changes to the Bylaws. The big news to

come out of the meetings is there will be NO DUES INCREASE.

MR donated $250,000 from the Missouri REALTORS Issues Mobilization Fund to SaferMO, the

statewide coalition campaigning in favor of Proposition D, which Missouri REALTORS supports.

You also need to be aware that there are Trolls going after Realtors who post floorplans in MLS.

MR approved up to $30,000 from the Legal Action Reserve Fund as reimbursement for legal fees

incurred by 2 brokerages in Columbia fighting a copyright infringement case. A builder is claiming

that by drawing his floorplan and putting it in the MLS where it is dispersed to the public, it is a

copyright infringement, even though his actual drawings were not published, just the agent’s hand-

drawn floorplan. These agents received threatening letters from an attorney, stating they would be

sued unless they paid his client X dollars. This issue is being taken to NAR to help support the

fight and stamp this out at a national level.
