Impossible - Bay Area Abstracting - William Pattison /CA
11/7/2011 7:56:15 AM (3775 views)

   These fly by nighters come in and drop off radar quickly.  They get a six dollar search from India, pull a couple of maps from a computer index, toss in a copy of the online taxes and check the deeds for any other doc-references and then send it as a completed work to a client.  Deed copies are digital images.  They miss CC&R's as they don't search them out, they miss unpaid priors, they miss lot splits, they ignore easements, and they don't search dangling interests.  They operate on the premise that they report anything that can reasonably be found in the records by the layman who knows nothing of land titles, and so expect to never have a claim so long as they list the obvious stuff.

 These are opportunists who are no better than corporations sending jobs overseas, and they make everyone look bad as a profession.

  A week from now, the client will look and not find them in business.

  I dropped a client who wanted a full chain for three hundred fifty dollars last week in unincorporated county lands that was rail lines.  These P. U. lands are certainly not one hour searches or a day.  They can take a week and cost upwards of a couple thousand, so depending on the descriptions, $125 sounds like a massive bargain compared to what I usually charge.
