Services

What we search

I

Pre-listing title search

Run before the property hits the market, so a lien, judgment, or clouded chain surfaces while there is still time to clear it — not days before closing. $100, prepaid — for listing agents.

II

Full & current-owner searches

Chain of title back to the vesting deed, with open deeds of trust, easements, and restrictions noted and abstracted.

III

Two-owner searches

The standard lender and underwriter request, run to the required period and delivered in the same format as a full search.

IV

Deed & document retrieval

Recorded deeds, deeds of trust, plats, and releases pulled from county land records and delivered as clean, legible copies.

V

Tax status, liens & judgments

Real estate tax status including prior years' payment history, plus judgment and lien searches against the named parties.

Process

How an order runs

  1. Send the order

    Property address or parcel ID, jurisdiction, search type, and the effective date you need.

  2. We search and abstract

    Land and tax records are examined, documents pulled, and the abstract assembled and reviewed.

  3. Delivered ready to use

    Abstract, summary of search, and supporting documents returned in the format your file needs.

Sample deliverable

The abstract, as delivered

Every order comes back as a one-page summary like this, with copies of the recorded documents attached.
