Gosh, I have a bunch of topics to discuss.  No time this evening but here&#8217;s a quick sneak preview of what&#8217;s on my mind:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1)  Today&#8217;s above the fold front page headliner in today&#8217;s Herald:<br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldnet.com\/stories\/06\/07\/25\/100loc_a1digdeep001.cfm\">DIG DEEP:  New Homes Top $500,000K<\/a>&#8220;<\/span> (emphasis Herald).<\/p>\n<p>2)  This evening in south Everett I had the unique pleasure of discussing housing with Banner Banks&#8217; Chairman, President &#038; CEO (including mingling with Bank Directors &amp; VP&#8217;s.)  It was quite a fun discussion. Oh, and their stock hit a 52 week high today.  Full disclosure:  Our company, Legacy Escrow Service, Inc., trust account is with Banner Bank but I hold no stock in Banner Bank.<\/p>\n<p>My topic is: <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;Suits vs. a guy in shorts (me): Puget Sound Real Estate is poised for more growth.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3)  <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;Appraisers sound off &#038; it&#8217;s not pretty.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>4)  <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Artificial Appreciation Revisited &#038; Confirmed: Closing cost contributions offset by <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">seller price escalation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>5) <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Affiliated Business Relationships in Real Estate: it&#8217;s costing consumers a bundle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>6)<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> Title Insurance: Why one state banned Title Companies,  issues its own state backed insurance for its citizens who are taking the savings to the bank.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Any one of these topics you would like me to address sooner than later?  Or, you can tell me, &#8220;I don&#8217;t give a rip.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m game for other topic suggestions on insider questions anyone may have.
