Ladders’ Up for the Foundation Online Auction & Reception

Ladders’ Up for the Foundation is a charitable event and online auction held annually to raise funds for the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The event takes place every spring during the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs Conference in Toronto and features live music, great food, prize draws and immeasurable networking opportunities. Months leading up to the event, companies and organizations donate goods and/or services, which are then posted on our auction website. Many fire personnel visit the auction website to bid on the donated items.

Funds raised from the auction and during the event go to supporting the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation which honors firefighters who have been killed in the line of duty and helps support their families. Every dollar raised from this event goes to towards the foundation’s education fund for the families of fallen firefighters. Since the inception of Ladders Up, we have raised over $100,000 for this important charity.

The 2016 Ladders Up for the Foundation Reception is on April 30th at the Crowne Plaza Hotel located at 33 Carlson Court in Toronto from 7:00pm to 11:00pm. The online auction launches on March 1st.

We are still in need of items for the online auction site and raffle prizes during the event. We hope you will consider donating an item. Your donation can be in the form of a product, service or any specialty item (gift cards, electronics, excursions etc.). In exchange for your support, your company will be recognized as a contributor on the auction website and at during the reception. It is a great opportunity to elevate your brand all while supporting those in need in the fire service. You can view the online auction site at www.laddersup.ca

Donating is easy! Complete our online donation form at www.oafc.on.ca/ladders-donation-form. Once you complete the form, we will be in touch with you.

Land of Land offers rural vacant land throughout the United States, ranging from individual building lots to vast “off-the-grid” acreage.
Buyers have varied reasons, as diverse as our country, for acquiring vacant land. Some search for magnificent views, mountains, waterfront, climate. Some want land to balance their financial portfolios. Others want a place to get away from it all. And some want to build a seasonal home or new primary residence.
Land of Land has over 1,000 parcel of land available, and works hard to simplify the land ownership process for experienced land investors and first-time buyers alike.

SAUL LARNER, Ph.D., LL.M.,AARE

A real estate auctioneer is only as good as his next idea

EXPERIENCE PASSION RESULTS

Dr. Saul Larner brings a wealth of experience and passion to his roles as a certified, bilingual auctioneer and realtor. Having managed a wide variety of large scale residential and commercial property auctions, his expertise and acumen in real estate auctioneering is unparalleled.

Dr. Larner offers his clients the highest level of service and professionalism. With his AARE (Accredited Auctioneer Real Estate) designation—an honor achieved by fewer than 5 percent of Auctioneers across North America—he continues to differentiate himself in the world of real estate auctioneering.

He is a graduate of both the Worldwide College of Auctioneering. In addition, he has a Ph.D. with a specialty in international economics and further distinguishes himself with an LL.M. (Master of Laws) in international taxation. He thrives in advising his international clients to deploy money into the United States and to hedge against currency fluctuations prior to the real estate closing, as well as international asset protection strategies. He further holds a specialty in the LL.M. program as it relates to e-commerce. He enjoyed medalling at the 2007 Internartional Bid Calling Competition sponsored by the National Auctioneers Association and medalled again in 2018.

Dr. Larner is the author of several books on real estate including “Start The Show”, the first book ever written on real estate auctioneering. Two of his other books, “Catching Foreclosures” and “Steal That Property” are now becoming quite timely again. His six hour course on real estate auctioneering, “I Bid You Prosperity” was qualified as a 6 hour, continuing education course by the California Department of Real Estate Licensing Board.

This broad, far reaching array of auction experience underscore Dr. Larner’s passion about real estate…and further evidence of the great job he can do for you.

He was the appointed auctioneer for the $40 million Robert Taylor Ranch and Fox 11 promoted with compliments to the seller an impressive aerial documentary of the property. Dr. Larner attributes part of this to his great ability to write effective press releases.

He has created several innovative financing strategies, including the sale-leaseback with right of repurchase which negates taxation due to the categorization of a financial device rather than a sale. He created the software for the net present value number crunching.

Further, he was responsible for the sale of many newly constructed, luxury condos in Brentwood, CA These were liquidations where he interfaced with Mitsu Manufactures Bank, an Asian international bank and implanted many successful and unique strategies to bring liquidation to an earlier conclusion.

One of his landmark conclusions during trying times was to mastermind the extension of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy for a developer of 20 co-ops. At that time, he was the first real estate broker to convince Fanny Mae to finance co-ops as a mortgage. These were then liquidated within a 72-hour time period.

He has vast experience in negotiating with banks when properties are “underwater” and has coined the term, “Settlement is an Art”.

In his personal life, he is the loving father of two exceptionally successful children and two grandchildren. He is a 32 nd degree Mason with membership in the Scottish Rite, York Rite and Shriners International.
