Realtors Seminar a Huge Success


The 2009 Lakewood Realtor Seminar, hosted by the City of Lakewood, was the most well attended in the seminar's history!

Local favorite Dick Feagler was the City’s special guest speaker and led off the morning with his own unique insights and humor on Lakewood, the West side and real estate in general.

In addition to the Mayor’s welcome, representatives from various City Department presented information about new initiatives and developments in housing and economic development.

The Federal Reserve Bank was on hand to provide information on “Breaking the Housing Crisis Cycle” and informative national and local economic perspective on how the housing crisis arose, where we are at now, and recommendations for the future.

Lakewood resident and appraiser Bill Gaydos provided an afternoon lecture on appraising in the current market.

The day concluded with a mobile classroom (Lolly the Trolley) that took realtors and other guests to various development sites, local businesses and homes throughout the Lakewood.
