$200 Foreclosure Registration Ordinance Update

City Manager of Kissimmee, Mark Durbin, recently invited a group of professionals in the local real estate industry at a round table discussion of this issue together with City Attorney, Don Smallwood, and the Federal Property Registration Corporation (FPRC) who has proposed this ordinance. I was in attendance as OSCAR President and Public Policy Chair, Tim Weisheyer, was in attendance as well. REO Brokers, Linda Goodwin (Goodwin Realty), Dorothy Buse (Coldwell Banker Ackley), Hope Andrews (Prudential Sapphire Realty), Daisy Cid (Remax Premier Properties) and Becky Sheive (Stewart Title) were invited and were all in attendance.

Oscecola REALTORS® were able to raise many concerns at the table and we are grateful to the City for the opportunity to raise these concerns. A follow up round table discussion is expected prior to the final reading of the ordinance. Our AE, Carol Platt, will be doing more fact finding on our behalf and will bring back more information for us to assess the issue. I have charged the Public Policy Committee to review this matter and deliver a recommendation to the Board of Directors for adoption.

Members, be proud. OSCAR is the trusted voice of real estate!
