We had a client that was asking for full searches and stated on their order form that it was due in 8 hours or less. I didn't think they were serious - I thought it must just be their "standard" order form, but surely I figured they must know that their instructions were impossible. No, they called twice a day for three days until the order was done. Each time they expressed that this was ridiculous that they didn't have the search back in 8 hours.
The only thing I can figure is they use "those" abstractors that do a chain of title and check for mortgages on the computer. We see it all the time - they run their chain of title backwards, but never pull the grantor books, leases, miscellaneous, etc. We have witnessed "them" do 7 full searches and leave early. I just scratch my head and wonder why they are even in the business.
I am with you, may be time to re-think my career choice. If this is where the industry is headed, I would rather not have the work. I am not signing my name to a search like that so I can compete with "them".
Best,
Robert A. Franco
