Eagle is great. Know its limitations and work around them. It's not Eagle's fault that one county or another has dropped the ball on indexing. This sounds like sour grapes over issues with a County - The County sets the pricing and the records belong to them, not Eagle. All you need to remember is that Eagle expects things to be formatted in a way that makes sense. Indexing is screwed up? What’s new. Shame on the county. Online records were never meant to be the go-to for this kind of business and you better be using another index as a supplement or things will be missed. Duh.
The general public doesn't need access to these records at the drop of a hat. If they do, they can go down to the County like the rest. Or pay up. The county isn't a charity, and finally Eagle is going to get some money into the counties pockets. Flint is broke they need the money. The system Genesee has used for years has made things too easy. And that's a problem in this biz because it makes all these fly by night phonies come off as if they have a clue what theyre doin and mistakes are made because they really dont. If someone can't fork over the money for access then they're not serious about this business. Adapt or die.
What this means is more $$$$ for people who know what they're doing. If it slows you down a titch this should be a welcome tradeoff. I don't see the problem.
I laugh at the protectionism though - $500 a month is peanuts to Indians operations and it's not like the Register of Deeds was the only tool at their disposal. These Indians produce fine work and I suspect that'll continue even more here. Separate the wheat from the chaff. They will be A OK.
thats all folks. the eagle has landed and get used to it.
