A.I.R. EXTENDS OUTREACH TO NORTHERN

CALIFORNIA; SETS FORMS SEMINAR OCT. 19, 2000

The American Industrial Real Estate Association will extend its outreach to Northern California when it presents a day-long Forms Review Seminar in Burlingame, CA Oct. 19, 2000.  The event will be held at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Hotel from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is approved for seven hours of DRE continuing education credits, Society of Industrial and Office Realtors credit, and MCLE credit for attorneys.

“The purpose of this seminar is two-fold.  First, to formally introduce our comprehensive forms program to Bay Area brokers and brokerage companies heretofore unfamiliar with them, and then to communicate the numerous updates we have made to the forms in order to keep pace with changing laws and a dynamic market,” said Ron Surace, Chief Operating Officer of Los Angeles-based AIR.

Surace added that seminar panelists will solicit feedback from attendees as to provisions they feel should be modified, changed, or altered in keeping with regional market conditions.  He emphasized that AIR is constantly interacting with the legal and governmental communities in an effort to keep the forms current.

Comprising the prominent panel of attorneys and brokers for the Forms Review Seminar are Richard Mallory of the San Francisco law firm of Allen, Matkins, Leck, Gamble & Mallory; Attorney Richard L. Reimer, Richard L. Riemer, Inc., Santa Ana, Arthur Mazirow, Freeman, Freeman and Smiley, LLP, Los Angeles; Jack Karp, SIOR, National Properties Group, Los Angeles; James McDonald, SIOR, Group 100/Jim McDonald, Woodland Hills, CA, and Stan Mullin, SIOR, Grubb & Ellis, Newport Beach.  Tom Stroud of Collins Commercial, Newport Beach, will moderate.

The seminar will cover leasing and purchasing forms and addenda, agency agreements, and related documents, according to Kip Kennedy, marketing representative for AIR.  AIR produces over 30 forms in all. Kennedy revealed that major contingents of brokers from leading Bay Area firms have already committed to attend the event.  The firms include BT Commercial, Starboard Commercial, Ritchie Commercial, and Grubb & Ellis.

Fee for the seminar is $99, including breakfast and lunch.  Contact AIR at (213) 687-8777. Event sponsors include North American Title Co, Chicago Deferred Exchange Corp. of California, and Swinerton & Walberg.
