The second panel will discuss overall real estate trends and the outlook for the year, with comments from Miestchovich. A residential real estate panel will include Richard Haase of Latter & Blum, Inc.; Larry Schedler of Larry G. Schedler & Associates; and local appraiser Geoff Lutz.
Finally, a panel focusing on commercial real estate closes out the seminar, which will be led by Bruce Sossaman of Corporate Realty and Marty Mayer of Stirling Properties.
