Hello *(firstname) --

Dispatch #600. Wow. "Stop the presses!" We're celebrating this milestone with a short vacation. But we'll be back next week with more commentary and cool stories on the real estate industry.

Here's your assignment this week. Sign up your colleagues for the Dispatch at the PikeNet home page. Or if you want to subscribe your whole office, send me an Excel file with three fields of information for each person: first name, last name, and e-mail address.

And let me thank our Dispatch sponsors for the second half of 2002 -- AMSI, CCIM, LoopNet, McLaughlin Ventures, RealCapitalMarkets, Realpoint, SiteReports, SRC, and Xceligent.

These kind sponsors enable us to send you this FREE Dispatch. Please patronize their services and mention PikeNet.

If you would like to sponsor the PikeNet Dispatch and blast your name around to the best professionals in commercial real estate, send e-mail or call me at 415-485-6700. Next dates available in October.
