REALTOR® CONNECT MEETING
The Realtor® Connect Meeting for all showcases is held at the WCBR office in the Tonaquint Center, 1070 W. 1600 S. Street Suite A101 from 8:45 am – 10:00 am Tuesday Morning. The Showcase itinerary is available at the Business Meeting. Attendance at the Realtor® Connect Meetings is limited to REALTOR® and Affiliate members of the Washington County Board of REALTORS®. Guest attendance is limited to licensed agents or to potential Affiliate Members by special invitation only.
The primary purpose of this meeting is to afford REALTOR® members a place to present their listings to the other Agents & Affiliates in attendance, as well as an opportunity to network with industry partners.
A period of not to exceed 20 minutes will be allotted during the business meeting for a “Wants and Needs” session where agents may make presentations relating to new listings and needs relating to buyer clients the agents may have. Significant changes to existing listings may also be presented. Agents may present as many wants/needs as they can during a 1 minute period and then must go to the end of the line and then may present additional wants and needs.
The Wants and Needs session should refrain from being used as a platform for promoting political agendas, broker recruitment, or for any form of Affiliate promotion. Agents are permitted to distribute flyers for properties on the Realtor® Showcase as well as properties not on the Showcase, as they see fit.
Every week an Affiliate Member of the Board volunteers to provide morning refreshments at the Business Meeting. During the meeting they are given 5 minutes to present their company to the members. No other Affiliates are permitted to stand and speak about upcoming events or hand out marketing materials during the meeting.
Once a year, a meeting will be scheduled following the official release of the Board of Directors Ballot, during which all candidates will be invited to provide a brief introduction, sharing their background and goals. This is the sole occasion when potential promotion will be permissible.

REALTOR® SHOWCASE RULES:
PURPOSE OF THE RULES:
These rules have been established to set guidelines that the membership can refer to, rely on, and utilize in conducting business. They also help set the standard by which the members of the WCBR will be recognized throughout Washington County as professionals practicing Real Estate.
RULES FOR PLACING A HOME ON THE SHOWCASE:
- The number of homes on the Showcase is unlimited for any given area. A limit of 2 listings per REALTOR®/Agent or TEAM per any given Showcase is allowed. Any exceptions to this rule may only be considered and approved by the committee chair.
- Homes may be on the Showcase only once in a six month period unless:
The home has been re-listed by a different listing Agent or Office
The original listing has expired and the Agent has re-listed the home. This ensures that all Agents have the opportunity to showcase their homes.
An exception is made by the Realtor® Showcase Committee. (There may be circumstances under which agents may request to have their homes places on the next or a subsequent Showcase that the committee may deem just and reasonable to grant an exception from this rule; i.e. Agent was unavoidably called away for an emergency or some other just cause.)
All listings on the Realtor® Showacase must be staffed by the Listing Agent, another appointed licensed Agent, or a licensed Assistant who is a member of the Board of REALTORS®. Properties are not to be left vacant during the Showcase. Agents are expected to stay in the home during the required time.
The Listing Agent may find it necessary to substitute with another Agent or licensed Assistant. Substitutes are acceptable; however compliance with Utah Division of Real Estate Administrative Rule 6-2-15 is required. Specifically, an unlicensed person may assist at an open house only with the permission of the Broker and “so long as the licensee is present.”
Newly constructed homes that are not in the finished state are disallowed. To be on the Showcase, newly constructed homes must have plumbing & lighting fixtures installed and cabinetry & floor coverings must be in place. Generally either a “certificate of occupancy” must have been issued or the home would qualify for issuance of a “C of O” to be placed on the Realtor® Showcase. (Many spec homes have allowances for Buyers to select floor coverings and lighting fixtures. Homes in this state are acceptable.)
No smoking, alcoholic beverages, or food service, except during luncheon time scheduled, or in designated areas of the residence set aside for the purpose of serving refreshments.
Agents are allowed to provide brochures about the property with the following information: Address, Subdivision, Unit Number (if PUD), Price, Courtesy Estimate of Square Footage, MLS Number, Brokerage Name, and the basic information most Agents and Clients will ask for.
Please use Open House signs on the property on the Showcase.
Changing listing agents on listings in the MLS in order for one listing agent to have more than the maximum number of homes allowed on any Showcase is not permitted. Agents MAY talk about & distribute fliers and/or maps during the Wants & Needs session in the Realtor® Connect Meeting for other listings they may have in the Showcase area and may hold the other homes open and even office incentives for agents to visit these other listing, but only maximum, number of homes permitted per the Showcase rules will be allowed to be formally placed the Showcase. Any exception to this rule may only be considered and approved by the committee chair.
