About the Program

Real Estate Broker and Author Orit Gadish has identified that the current court confirmation process is prone to some confusion, unnecessary delays, and possible litigation and proposes a solution to mitigate this risk. Judge Glen M. Reiser has joined forces with Orit Gadish to fine-tune the proposal that will improve the way real estate court confirmation sales are conducted in the future. They will be discussing the existing process and the possible negative outcomes that may arise. The updated process, the rules proposed to eliminate these negative outcomes, and the steps being taken to convert this proposal to statutory rules will be discussed. Join the discussion, ask questions, and provide your input.

This program is presented by Geffen Real Estate.
