Lloyd Rhodes introduce Cyril S. Spiro, Chairman and Founder of Regent Bank which has been serving Broward and Palm Beach County since 1986. Mr. Spiro stated that currently our financial institutes are in a "hodge podge" of a mess. There are debates going on, on how to regulate and who is to regulate the commercial banks and the mortgage bankers and brokers. He stated that the banks do not want to hold a foreclosure house since it costs them money, however it can take over a year to receive an uncontested foreclosure in Broward and Palm Beach Counties. He also stated that people and businesses are not borrowing money as they have in the past. He then had a brief question and answer period.
