Staff Report
Listing Agent Agreement

Page 2 of 2
Backqround
In order to facilitate sales of the homes in the Authority's inventory, staff recommends
listing the homes with a licensed real estate agent, with experience in affordable deed
restricted sales, on the Desert Area Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as well as marketing
the properties to targeted groups who may qualify. This will provide more exposure to
the availability of homes on the program.
Staff conducted an RFP for qualified licensed real estate professionals with experience
in affordable for-sale housing programs to serve as listing agent for several properties
owned by the Authority. Two responses were received for the RFP:
Broker Broker/A ent Location
Century 21 John Osborne Palm Desert Office
Osborne Realt
Windermere Jac ueline Mar uez Indio Office
After reviewing the responses, Century 21 Osborne Realty provided the most complete
proposal. In addition, John Osborne, the Broker, demonstrated the most experience
with real estate transactions involving government/public entities, deed restricted
affordable home sales and Palm Desert's affordable resale program. As part of the
agreement Mr. Osborne will be responsible for the coordination of the program
requirements on any sale to a qualified household regardless of who sells the property.
When an Authority home is listed for sale on the MLS, any licensed real estate agent or
broker will be able to sell the home to an income-qualified buyer that they represent,
however, the commission will be limited to up to 1'/2% of the sales price for the sale side
of the transaction. The total commission to both listing and sales agents will not exceed
3% of the sales price. It should be noted that it is possible that the listing agent and
sales agent may be the same agent, however, the total commission will still not exceed
3% of the sales price.
Therefore, staff recommends entering into an agreement with Century 21 Osborne
Realty, for the purpose of listing several properties for sale to qualified households.

111. PROPERTIES
Currently the Authority's portfolio is comprised of an inventory of 15 properties (and two (2)
additional active listings) under the Resale Housing Program. This is currently a
representative number; however, the actual number of properties owned by the Authority
may vary widely, depending on the number of homes that become available and are
acquired by the Authority.
The subject properties are generally located in the communities of Falcon Crest(on the west
side of Cook Street between Hovley Lane and Merle Street) and Desert Rose (on the north
side of Fred Waring Drive between EI Dorado and east of Cook).
Both Falcon Crest and Desert Rose communities were built for the purpose of providing and
maintaining affordable housing in the City of Palm Desert. The Authority has purchased the
properties under the Affordable Resale Program in order to maintain each of the property's
affordability and the integrity of the community in which it is located. Restrictions are placed
on the homes to ensure affordability for up to 45 years and buyers must meet certain
minimum qualifications at the time of purchase including income limitations. It is the
Authority's requirement to sell these properties as affordable making them available to lower
and moderate income qualified families.
The community of Falcon Crest is the City of Palm Desert's newest affordable for-sale
community that has one and two story single family homes. There are four different three-
and four-bedroom floor plans to choose from with several different elevations for each plan,
ranging in size from 1,400 to 1,600 square feet. Falcon Crest is available to households of
restricted income who make at least $40,000 annually with prices ranging from $200,000 to
$225,000 depending on the floor plan.
Desert Rose is a community of attractive, three- and four-bedroom, attached and detached
homes ranging in size from 1,100 to 1,300 square feet. Desert Rose is available to
households of restricted income who make at least $25,000 annually with prices ranging
from $107,000 to $136,000 depending on the floor plan.
The City of Palm Desert ("City") or the Authority may provide limited financial assistance for
eligible households who are able to qualify for a primary loan with a conventional lender.
The assistance to each buyer will vary in amounts from $5,000 to $80,000 depending on
need, and will be in the form of silent subordinate trust deeds from both the City and the
Authority.
All property sales are contingent upon and require Palm Desert Housing Authority Board
approval.
If multiple offers are received, the Authority will evaluate the qualifications of each buyer on
a first come first served basis only.
NOTHING IN THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS SHALL REQUIRE THAT ALL
PROPERTIES OWNED BY THE AUTHORITY SHALL BE LISTED FOR SALE BY THE
SELECTED BROKER.

section is herebv deleted and not required of interested Brokers.
The following list of responses are to the questions received by interested Brokers
regarding the RFP up to the time stated above. The questions submitted were very
similar in nature and have been included in consolidated questions and answered
based on information available to the Authority at this time.
1. How many units are there in each project, what is their unit size and what is the income
category designation?
RESPONSE: The RFP, Section III, Properties, indicates that currently the Authority's
portfolio is comprised of an inventory of 15 properties; however, the actual number of
properties owned by the Authority may vary widely, depending on the number of homes
that become available and/or are acquired by the Authority. The sales prices will be
established bv the Authoritv onlv and range from $107,000 to $136,000 in Desert
Rose and $200,000 to $225,000 in Falcon Crest. The inventorv, as well as homes
that mav become available, varies within each communitv. The homes are
comprised of 3-and 4- bedroom attached and detached homes, ranqin4 from
RFP for Real Estate Broker Listing Services Addendum No.2 October 1,2013
Page 1 of 3
1 060 to 1 275 sauare feet in Desert Rose to 1,455 to 1.670 in Falcon Crest. The
homes wiil be sold to qualified households of lower to moderate income.
NOTE: The responding Brokers should note that, as stated in the RFP, there is no
guarantee all properties will be listed with the selected Broker.
2. Will the City consider providing for reimbursement of marketing expenses?
RESPONSE: The RFP section IV, A, Scope of Services, states, ". . . Costs of all forms
of marketing utilized by the Broker shall be the responsibility of the Broker(In some
instances additional advertising may be paid by Authority upon prior written approval by
Authority)."
3. How many brokers are currently participating in your Affordable Deed Restricted
Housing program?
RESPONSE: There are less than ten Brokers/Agents that have listed and/or sold
properties in the developments. It should be noted that in the past, the former
Redevelopment Agency facilitated sales directly from seller to qualified buyer and did not
participate in the `listing' of properties that became available. In many cases only a
'sales' agent was involved in the property resale.
4. Did any of the Brokers or Agents have prior experience with this type of housing before
you hired them?
RESPONSE: With the exception of what the RFP contemplates based on the
Authority's inventory, the Authority generally does not `hire' Brokers or Agents. Due to
actions by the State of California in eliminating redevelopment agencies, the Authority,
as successor to the redevelopment agency, has an inventory of homes to list, however,
this is typically not the case and the Authority will always endeavor to facilitate the sale
of homes that become available directly from seller to qualified buyer. Such transaction
may or may not have either a listing or selling agent.
When the homes were originally sold, the Broker/Agents were screened by the
development consultant for experience in similar types of listings and sales, however, it
is unknown to the Authority whether all the Brokers/Agents who have listed or sold
homes in the developments had prior experience.
NOTE: The responses to the RFP are sought only from qualified Brokers with
experience in listing and/or selling properties with affordable deed restri�tions.
5. Do the Brokers/Agents or the Authority have trouble finding buyers?
RESPONSE: This RFP is for `Broker Listing Services' including a marketing plan only.
The intent is to `list' the homes for the purposes of marketing them to potentially qualified
households. The listing Broker/Agent may or may not be the selling agent. Because
this is an unusual circumstance, the Authority is unsure whether there will be difficulty
finding qualified households for the homes available during the contract period.
6. What do you like or dislike about your current Brokers marketing plans?
RESPONSE: The Authority is not currently marketing the homes.

o Numerous Century 21 classes and designations.
I have worked in the Desert Rose development for over 8 years and sold over 40 units to
qualified purchasers in conjunckion with the City of Palm Desert. Some were direct sells
between the qualified buyer and seller and others were from the seller to the City and from the
City to a quafified buyer. I have also worked in Falcon Crest for a few years and sold multiple
homes there as well. I have sold homes to non-profits in the past and have taken care of as
many as 9Q vacant properties for Fannie Mae, HUD and Freddie Mac at one time. I was in
charge of making sure these properties were marketed properly, repaired, secure, well taken
care of, escrow follow up, required paperwork, inspections and provide weekly reports. In my
28 year career I have averaged selling about 50 homes a year and most have been to lower
and medium incorne buyers. Our company has prided itself on taking good care of the first
time buyer and making sure they are well informed and given great care in the purchase of
their home. I am very aware of most aspects of how the City programs work and what they are
trying to achieve. I am proud to have been a part af it and look forward to being able to
continue to work with the Palm Desert Housing Authority in the future.

subscr'�bers to ihe MLS.The MLS may also be part of a reciprocal agreement to which other multiple listing servlces belong. Real
estate agents belonging to other multiple listing services that have reciproca! agreements with the MLS also have access to the
information submitted to the MLS.The MLS may further transmit the MLS database to Internet sites that post property Ifstings online.
EXPOSURE TO BUYERS THROUf3H MLS: Listing property with an MLS exposes a seiler's property to all real estate agents and
brokers(and thelr potential buyer clients)who are participants or subscribers to the MLS or a reciprocating MLS.
CLOSED/PRIVATE LISTING CLUBS OR GROUPS:Closed or private listing clubs or groups are not the same as the MLS.The MLS
referred to above is accessible to ail eligible real estate licensees and provides broad exposure for a listed property. Private or
closed listing clubs or groups of Ifcensees may have been formed outside the MLS. Private or closed Iisting clubs or groups are
accessible to a more limited nurnber of licensees and generally offer iess exposure for listed property. Wheiher listtng property
through a closed,private network-and excluding it from the MLS-is advantageous or disadvantageous to a seller,and why,should
be discussed with the agent taking the Seller's listing.
NOT LISTING PROPERTY IN A LOCAL MLS: If the Property is listed in an MLS which does not cover the geographic area where
ihe Property is located then reai estate agents and brokers working that territory, and Buyers they represent looking for property in
the neighborhood,may not be aware the Properry is for sale.
OPTINa OUT OF MLS: If Selier etects to exclude the Property from the MLS, Seller understarxis and acknowledges that: (a) real
estate agents and brokers from other real estate offices,and their buyer clients,who have access to that MLS may not be aware that
Seller's Property!s offered for sale;(b) Information about Seller's Property wlll not be transmltted to various real estate Internet sites
that are used by the pubilc to search for property listings;(c)real estate agents,brokers and members of the pubiic may be unaware
of the terms and conditions under which Selier is marketing the Property.
REDUCTION IN EXPOSURE:Any reduction in exposure of ihe Property may lower the number of offers and negatively impact the
sales price.
PRESENTING ALL OFFERS: Selier understands that Broker must present all offers received for Seller's Property unless Seller
gives Broker written instructions to the contrary.
Se�lers Initials / 1 Broker's Initlals /
B. MLS rules generally provide that residentiat real property and vacant lot listings be submitted to the MLS within 2 days or some
other period of time after all necessary signatures have been obtained on the listing agreemeni. Broker will not have to submit this
listing to the MLS if,wlthin that time, Broker submits to the MLS a form signed by Seller(C.A.R. Form SELM or the local equivalent
form).
C. MLS rules allow MLS data to be made availabie by ihe MLS to additional Intemet sites unless Broker gives the MLS instructions to
the contrary. Seiler acknowledges that for any of the below apt-out instructions to be effective, Seller must make them on a
separate inst�uction to Broker signed by Seller {C.A.R. Form SELI or ihe local equivalent form). Specific information that can be
excluded from the Internet as permitted by(or in accordance with)the MLS is as follows:
(1) Property Availabiiity:Seller can instruct Broker to have the MLS not display ihe Property on the Internet.
(2) Property Address:Seller can instruct Broker to have ihe MLS not display ihe Property address on the intemet.
Seller understands that the above opt-outs would mean consumers searching for listings on the Internet may not see the Property
or Property's address in response to their search.
(3) Feature Opt-Outs: Seller can instruct Broker to advise the MLS that Seller does not want visitors to MLS Particlpant or
Subscriber Websites or Electronic Displays that display the Property listing to have the features below. Seller understands(i) that
these opt-outs apply onty to Websites or Electronic Displays of MLS Participants and Subscribers who are real estate broker and
agent members of the MLS; (ii) that other Internet sites may or may not have the features set forth herein; and (ifi) that neither
Broker nor the MLS may have the ability to control or block such features on other Inlemei sites.
(a) Gomment And Reviews: The ability to write comments or reviews about the Property on those sites; or the ability to link to
another slte coniaining such comments or rev(ews if the Unk is in immediate conjunction with the Propeny.
(b)Automated Estimate Of Value: The ability to create an automated estlmate of value or to link to anolher site containing

Property Address:x�a000c 111Z1Z1, Pa1m Deaert, ("Property")
1, INTRODUCTION: Selling property in California is a process that involves many steps. From start to finish, it coutd take anywhere
from a few weeks to many months, depending upon the condition of your Property, local market conditions and olher factors. You
have already taken an important first step by listing your Properiy for sale with a licensed real estate broker. Your broker will help
guide you through the process and may refer you fo other professionals as needed. This advisory add�esses many things you may
need to think about and do as you market your Property.Some of ihese things are requirements imposed upon you,either by law or
by the listing or sale contract. Others are simply practical matters that may arise during the process. Please read this document
carefully and,if you have any questions,ask your broker or appropriate legal or tax advisor for help.
2. DISCLOSURES:
A.Qeneral Disclosure Dutles:You must affi�matively disclose to the buyer,in writing,any and all known facts that materially affect
the value or desirability of your Property. You must dlsclose ihese facts whether or not asked about such matters by the buyer,
any broker, or anyone else. This duty to disclose applies even if the buyer agrees to purchase your Property in its p�esent
condition without requiring you to make any�epairs. If you do not know what or how to dfsclose,you should consult a�eal estate
atlorney in California of your choosing. Broker cannot advise you on the legal sufficiency of any disclosures you make. If the
Property you are selling is a residence wlth one to fou� units except for certain subdivisions, your broker atso has a duty to
conduct a reasonably competent and diNgent visual inspection of the accessible areas and to discbse to a buyer all adverse
material facts that the inspection reveals. If your broker discovers something that could indicate a problem, your broker must
advise the buyer.
B.Statutory Duties:(For one-to-fou�Residential Units):
(1) You must timely prepare and deliver to the buyer, among other things, a Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statemenl ('TDS"),
and a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement ("NHD"). You have a legal obligation to honestly and completely�II out ihe TDS
form in its entirery. (Many local entities or organizations have their own supplement to the TDS ihat you may also be asked to
complete.)The NHD is a statement indicating whether your Property is in certain designated flood,ftre or earthquake/seismic
hazard zones.Third-party professional companies can help you with this lask.
(2) Depending upon the age and type of construction of your Property,you may also be required to provide and, in certain cases
you can receive limited legai protection by providfng,the buyer wlth booklets eniitled"The Homeowner's Gufde to Earthquake
Safety,""The Commercial Property Owner's Guide to Earthquake Safery,""Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home"and
"Environmental Hazarcis:A Guide For Homeowners and Buyers."Some of these booklets may be packaged together for your
convenience. The earthquake guides ask you to answer specific questions about your Property's struclure and preparedness
fo�an earthquake. If you are required lo supply the booklet about lead,you will also be requi�ed to disclose to the buyer any
known lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards on a separate form. The environme�tal haza�ds guide informs the
buyer of common envlronmentai hazards that may be found in properties.
(3) !f you know that your property is: (i) located within one mile of a former military o�dnance tocatlon; or(ii)ln or affected by a
Zone or district allowing manufacturing,commercial or airport use,you must disclose this to the buyer.You are also required to
make a good faith effort to obtain and deliver to the buyer a disclosure notice from ihe approp�iate local agency(les)about any
specfal tax levied on your Property pu�suant to the Mello-Roos Communiry Facilities Act,the Improvement Bond Act of 1915,
and a notice concermng the contractual assessment provided by section 5898.24 of the Streets And Highways Code
(collectively,"Special Tax Disclosures").
(4) if the TDS, NHD, or lead, military ordnance, commercial zone or Special Tax Disclosu�es are provided to a buyer after you
accept that buyer's offer,the buyer wili have 3 days after delivery(or 5 days if mailed)to terminate the offe�,which is why it is
extremely important to complete these disclosures as soon as possible. There are certain exemptions from these statutory
requirements;however,if you have actual knowledge of any of these items,you may sfill be requlred to make a disclosure as
the iiems ca�be consfdered rnaterial facts.
C.Death and Other Disclosur+es:Many buyers consider death on real property to be a materlal fact in the purchase of property. In
some sltuations, it is advtsable to disclose that a death occuned or the manner of death; however, California Civll Code Section
1710.2 pravides that vou have no disclosure dutv "where ihe dealh has occurred more than three years prlor to the date the
transferee offers to purchase,lease, or rent the reai property,or [regardless of the date of occurrenceJ that an occupant of that
property was affUcted with, or died from, Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type IIVLymphadenopathy-Assocfated Virus." This law
does not"immunize an owner or his o�her agent from making a�intentional misrepresentation in response to a direct inquiry from
a transferee or a prospective transferee of real p�operry,concerning deaths on the real property:'
D.Condominiums and Othe�Common Interest Subdivisions:If the Properry is a condominium,townhouse,or other properiy in a
common interest subdivision, you musl provide to the buyer copies of the governing documents, the most recent financial
statements distributed,and other documents required by law or contract. If you do not have a current vers(on of these documents,
you can request them from the management of you� homeowner's association. To avoid delays, you are e�couraged to obtain
these documents as soon as poss(ble,even if you have not yet entered inlo a purchase agreement to sell your Property.

3. CONTRACT TERMS AND LE(3AL REQUIREMENTS:
A. Gontract Terms and Conditions: A buyer may request, as part of the contract for fhe sale of your Property, that you pay for
repairs to the Property and other items.Your decision on whether or not to comply with a buyer's requests may affect your ability
to sell your Property at a specified price.
B. Withholding Taxes: Under federal and Califomia tax laws, a buyer is required to withhold a portlon of the purchase p�ice from
your sale proceeds for ta�c purposes unless you stgn an affidavit of non-foreign status and Califomia residency, or some other
exemption applies and is documented.
C. Prohibitlon Against Discrlmi�ation: Discriminatory conduct in the sale of�eal properiy against individuals belonging to legally
protected classes is a violation of the law.
D. Govemment Ratroflt Standards: Unless exempt, you must comply with govemment retrofit standards,including,but not Iimited
to, instailing operable smoke detectors,bracing water heaters, and providing the buyer with corresponding written statements of
compliance. Some city and county governmenis may impose additional retrofit standards, including, but noi limited to, instailing
low-flow toilefs and showerheads, gas shut-off valves, tempered gtass, and barriers around swimming pools and spas. You
should consult with the appropriate governmental agencies, inspectors, and other professionais to determine the retrofit
standards fo�your Properry,the extent to which your Properly complies with such standarcls,and the costs,if any,of compliance.
E. EPA's LEAD-BASED PAINT RENOVATION, REPAiR AND PAINTiNG RULE: The new rule requlres that contractors and
maintenance prafessionals working in pre-1978 housing,child care facilities,and schools with lead-based paint be certified;that
their employees be trained; and that they follow protective work practice standards. The rule applies to �enovation, repair, or
painting activities affecting more than six square feet of lead-based paint in a room or mo�e than 20 square ieet of lead-based
paint on the exterior. Enforcement of the rule begins October 1, 2010. See the EPA website at www.epa.gov/lead for more
information.
F. Legal,Tax and Other Implications:Selling your Property may have legal,tax,insurance,title or other imp8cations.You should
consull an approprlate p�ofessional for advice on these matters.
4. MARKETING CONSIDERATIONS:
A. Pre-Sale Considerations: You should consider doing what you can to prepare your Property for sale, such as correcting any
defecis o� other problems. Many people are not aware of defects in or problems with their own Property. One way to make
yourself aware is to obtain professional home inspections p�ior to sale, both generally, and for wood destroying pests and
organisms,such as termites.By doing this,you then have an opportunity to make repairs before your Property is offered for sale,
which may enhance its marketabiliry. Keep in mind, however, that any problems revealed by such inspection reports or repairs
that have been made, whether or not dlsclosed in a report, should be disclosed to the buyer(see"Disclosures"in paragraph 2
above).This is true even if the buyer gets his/her own inspections covering the same area.Obtaining inspection reports may also
assist you during contract negotiatlons with the buyer. For example, if a pest control report has both a primary and secondary
recommendation fo�clearance, you may wa�t to specify in the purchase agreement those recommendations, if any, for which
you are going to pay.
B. Post-Sale Protections: It is often helpful to provide the buye�with,among other things,a home protection/warranty plan for the
Property.These plans will generaliy cover problems,not deemed to be pre-existing,that occur after your sale is completed.In the
event something does go wrong after the sale, and it is covered by the pian, the buyer may be able to resolve the co�cern by
contacting the home protectlon company.
C. Safety Precautio�s:Advertising and marketing your P�operty for sale,including,but noi Iimited lo,hokifng open houses,placing
a keysafe/lockbox, erecting FOR SALE signs, and disseminating photographs, vfdeo tapes, and virtual tours of the premises,
may jeopardize your personal safety and that of your Property. You are strongly encouraged to maintain insurance, and to take
any and ail possible precautions and safeguards to protect yourself, other occupants, visitors, your Property, and your
belongings, including cash, jewelry, drugs, firearms and other valuables located on the Property, against injury, theft, loss,
vandalism,damage,and other harm.
D. Expenses: You are advlsed that you, not the Broker, are responsible for the fees and costs, if any, to compfy wlth your duties
and obligations to the buyer of your Property.
