I am going to not jump into this one too fast. THere are many people in my areas who are listed here and read the forums but never post a message. AND I know for a fact some of them purposely undercut my fees. So what I will say that is my areas, most decent abstractors with experience charge anywhere between $40-55 for a current owner. And $75-100 for a full search, sometimes $125 if it is a 60 yr but most title companies here only require a 40 yr or chain back to the developer, which ever comes first.
With so many people listed here on SOT, I wish more were active and we knew their position on things. Such as experience and how they feel about fees and all that. I guess one suggestion is to wait till April and see who puts forth the effort to get an enhanced listing. Those people we know will be serious about work and marketing and maybe we can talk to those in our areas with the enhanced listing and come up with a plan about the fees.
EHTICS ETHICS ETHICS PEOPLE!!!! Too many people forget what ethics are when you are trying to make a living. Sad but true!
