On Thursday, November 19th, Tom Richardson, lead counsel at Liberty Title, taught a 2 hour legal continuing education class at the Western Wayne Oakland County Association of Realtors office on The New Foreclosure Law & Foreclosure Opportunities.

The class with well attended with agents from Vision Group Realty, Coldwell Banker, ReMerica, ReMax Classic, Heritage GMAC in Brighton and Howell, and ReMax Platinum. In attendance was Michelle Allen, Gary Campbell, MaryAnn Czapiewski, Mary Doa, Josh Freeling, Natalie Goodwin-VanOyen, Deborah Johnson, Yvonne Marks, Lorena McMullen, Darlene Mengyan, Steve Mengyan, Diane Morris, Elizabeth Rozmarniewicz, Fred Ryckman, Karen Ryckman and Edie Veenstra.

Not only were the Realtors educated on the new foreclosure law, they also learned about the marketing opporunities available to them as a result of the new law and how the lengthening of this process may help a homeowner sell their home during the redemption period, there are also opportunities connected with those properties the banks have underbid on at the sheriff sale.

If you would like to learn more about how you can short-circuit the short sale process, call me to get signed up for the next class that will be held.

Real Estate attorney, Thomas Richardson, is teaching agents how to capture new business as a result of the new foreclosure law put into law in July of 2009. Detailed information on the new law as well as opportunites for you to close a listing fast is included in this presentation. Two hours of Legal Con Ed is available for this seminar.

Next scheduled class is Thursday, November 19th, at the Western Wayne Oakland County Association of Realtors office from 11am to 1pm. Email your RSVP to Learn@Libertytitle.com

Do you want an additional way to market your listing? How about presenting your listing(s) to 30-50 other realtors all at one time? You owe it to your seller to present their 'hot property' at the first Hot Properties Livingston listing/realtor network on June 3rd at the 1st National Bank Community Room at 8080 Challis Rd, in Brighton Michigan, breakfast at 8:30 a.m. This event is free of charge.

Here's how it works?

• Promptly at 9am we will start running the "Hot Properties" program. Each presenter can give a 45 second ‘elevator pitch' about why their listing is a "Hot Property". Think of it as ‘Speed Dating' for Listings. What makes a property "Hot"? - the sky is the limit; style, location, condition, price - you name it. Just explain it in 45 seconds. Feel free to bring flyers and other material to leave for your colleagues.
• Following the presentation of the "Hot Properties", we will have an opportunity for up to 15 Realtors to discuss their Buyers with specific needs. With 30 to 50 Realtors in the room, some- one will have a listing that matches your client's need.

Our first Hot Properties in Washtenaw County was a grand success. Follow the link to see the article written in the Busniess Review minutes after the event was over.

You may have heard on WJR or on the Today show about a new $10,000 tax credit for Michigan homebuyers. I just got off the phone with the MAHB lobbyist regarding the proposed $10,000 refundable Michigan Income tax credit for Homebuyers. Contrary to rumors, THIS IS NOT LAW yet. While it passed the Republican dominated State Senate 36-0, there is no deal with either the Governor or the Speaker of the House, so it is a long way from becoming law (remember what happened to the $15,000 credit approve by the Senate at the Federal level when it got to the House?).
