i have been doing searches for 26 years. the going rate in my area (southwestern pennsylvania) for a current owner is $45 to $50. most companies have a fit if you want to charge more than that.

actually a friend of mine who did current owners for service link in this area was dropped by them when she asked to raise her fee from their standard $18 to $20!!!

charlene, what are you accustomed to paying for a current owner search in your area?
