WRA Webcast
Takes Legal Hotline to the Next Level
Date:
June 4,
2007
MADISON, WI
– Building on the success and growing popularity of the
Wisconsin REALTORS® Association’s (WRA) exclusive Legal Hotline
service, the WRA is pleased to announce plans to introduce a new
webcast series called the Best of the Legal Hotline Live,
premiering Thursday June 7. As the leading authority on real
estate in Wisconsin, the WRA plans to deliver up to four
Webcasts over the next year, covering legal issues facing real
estate professionals.
“The WRA
has been the definitive expert in Wisconsin real estate markets
for nearly 100 years, representing the interests of homeowners,
property owners and real estate professionals,” says WRA
President Bill Malkasian. “And now we’re using the technology of
the Internet to bring that knowledge and expertise to anyone and
everyone interested in buying, selling and investing in real
property in Wisconsin.”
The
REALTORS®’ new webcast series will highlight key real estate
issues specific to Wisconsin’s marketplace and provide viewers
with valuable insights and answers to the most frequently asked
questions. These questions and issues come directly from the
WRA’s Legal Hotline program – a program through which, for over
15 years, association lawyers have provided answers to REALTOR®
members regarding legal issues that arise in transactions across
Wisconsin.
“Our
expert lawyers field dozens of questions a day from real estate
practitioners throughout Wisconsin – nearly 9,000 calls a year,“
says Malkasian. “So we know exactly what issues buyers, sellers
and REALTORS® face each and every day. Our new webcast series
will highlight these issues so that everyone in Wisconsin can
benefit from that same unique legal expertise.”
The
REALTORS®’ “Best of the Legal Hotline Live” webcast series will
premier Thursday June 7, 2007 at 2 p.m. WRA General Counsel
Kevin King will host the first webcast titled “Legal Challenges
in a Changing Market.” Viewers will get the inside track on how
to identify and handle short sales, foreclosure sales, sheriff’s
sales, contract cancellations and more. Viewers can watch the
program live or on-demand and participate in real-time Q&A at
the end of the program. The live webcast will be archived online
for 60 days. Registration is $9.95 for REALTORS® and $12.95 for
the general public. To register or obtain additional
