The Norris Group Real Estate Radio Show and Podcast

The Rohny Award is given at our live I Survived Real Estate events to a real estate educator or mentor that has impacted the real estate investment market and many careers along the way. To receive this award not only means that you are a great mentor, but it also means that you are of the greatest integrity possible.   Ward Hanigan or Uncle Ward as he is known to many in the real estate world, is a full-time foreclosure specialist and trainer in San Diego County. He brings you over 37 years of real estate experience, with a degree in Economics and a Doctorate in Law.    He has worked in California’s foreclosure market exclusively since 1982, and as a consequence he has extensive experience finding cash, researching title, handling evictions, rehabbing, reselling, consulting, and is a “one-on-one” trainer and mentor to some of the most successful foreclosure practitioners in the Western United States.
