Judy - I am concerned about the direction title searching is taking. I agree that the use of technology has streamlined the title searching process, but as with any new system, it presents its own set of problems. No system is perfect, and a concrete knowledge of title searching is necessary for accurate work. The trend of lenders to require only one-owner searches is a recipe for future disasters. The title insurance industry blindly insures over title problems that may someday cause financial hardship and law suits for many. Those new to the business are not being taught how to search properly, since they are only doing one-owner searches. Few see the need for in-depth skill. Volume search orders and quick turnaround times pressure searchers to work fast, and speed tends to affect accuracy. Sorry for the preaching, but I've been in business for over twenty years, and the future isn't pretty!
