Buy Tickets for Upcoming Real Estate Events

We’ll start this event by reviewing sales data for multifamily and single family buildings by select regions and across the state:

• How many listings have there been compared to this time last year?
• How many days does an average listing stay on the market?
• How many days does it take to get an offer?
• What’s the sales to list price ratio?

We’ll then have a round table discussion about the trends driving the market and what you may be seeing yourself.
Are multifamilies selling even with nonpayment issues? What’s the impact
of the eviction moratorium? Are single families in greater demand because people fled urban cores?

Attendees are welcome to share their own experiences. Participation is not required, you’re welcome to come and just listen.

This discussion will be moderated by Rich Trifone. With 25 years of experience in both buying and selling real estate,
Rich has developed strong relationships with lenders for both residential and investment lending that enables him to serve
Worcester County and Greater Boston with consistent success.
Rich has served as Program Director and on the Board of Directors of the Worcester Property Owners Association, and helped oversee it’s

Unlike the building code, which is usually inspected only at time of permit completion,
the state sanitary code applies in all rentals all the time, and can be inspected at any time. Are your units compliant?

Few units are fully compliant. We’ll review the code in easy-to-understand detail and help you get a sense of where you may need to make repairs or improvements.

This segment will be presentation-style with MassLandlords staff.

v1

During the pandemic stay-at-home order, people needed to have a home to stay in. And during the medical and economic recovery that lies ahead,
the Commonwealth’s residents may need this housing for a long while yet to come.
We have said from the beginning that this shared burden should be covered by the Commonwealth as a whole. No one should be evicted
because of the pandemic or its aftermath. No housing provider should be asked to provide this needed public housing for free, to pay for
upcoming months or years of repairs, real estate taxes, utilities, and mortgages without income.

The eviction moratorium is a Band-Aid, but stitches are required.
We have developed and found funding for a Fair and Equal Housing Guarantee via Surety Bonds, but
none in leadership have agreed to file it. We have asked the Governor not to extend the moratorium, but he
has extended it to October and may extend it again after that. The amount of rent relief so far organized from federal, state, and municipal sources
seems to be adding up to less than 10% of the funding that will be required by the time we get through this.

We now turn to the courts to make it clear, on a case-by-case basis, how much damage has been done. We are not launching an assault
on the constitutionality of the moratorium. At this event,
we will announce the Individual Claims Council, a network of attorneys
who are now collaborating and available to help landlords make individual claims against the Commonwealth. The purpose is not to evict
anyone. The purpose is to obtain the reasonable compensation to which we are now
entitled as providers of public housing during a pandemic, and to eliminate our renter’s unpaid obligations by court ordered
public subsidy. Together the Commonwealth can keep us all housed.

This initiative will run in parallel to our continued advocacy for a Fair and Equal Housing Guarantee via Surety Bonds.

This part of the presentation will be given by Peter Vickery of Bobrowski
& Vickery, LLC. Attorney Vickery practices law in Western Massachusetts where he focuses on landlord-tenant law
(representing landlords in Housing Court) and discrimination defense (representing business owners in the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination).
He graduated from Oxford University (Jesus College) with a BA in Modern History; obtained his Post-Graduate Diploma in Law from the University of the
West of England in Bristol; his JD from Boston University School of Law; and his Masters in Public Policy & Administration from the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst. Attorney Vickery served one term on the Governor’s Council (the elected 8-member body that approves or vetoes the governor’s choice of judges in Massachusetts) and on the State Ballot Law Commission. As Legislative Affairs Counsel for MassLandlords he drafts bills, bill summaries, and testimony in the area of housing law,
and writes amicus briefs in cases that have strategic significance for rental-property owners.
