The Importance of using a Reputable, Respected & Trusted Title & Escrow Company

So, here's my take on committing fraud.  If I were ever to do it, it would have to be for hundred's of millions if not billions of dollars - on the Maddoff scale.  It would have to be enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life in a non-extradition country.  And, I would have to have no family or friends living because I would hate to think of never seeing my loved ones again.  Oh, never mind, NOTHING is worth the fraud.  There's so much money to be made doing things legally if it's done correctly and honestly - why let greed get in the way.  I will never understand it. 

Thanks for the post, Endre.  The other thing about greedy, illegal shysters is their belief they will never get caught!!!  Arrogance or stupidity?  I don't know - I'm just glad they're getting caught.

Endre - And it is these companies that pop up. It can be real estate companies, escrow companies and even title companies. People get a way with a lot before they get caught.
This is why I am always so insistent on my title when I can. They have proven to me to surpass other title companies.

Thanks for the story.

Juli Rules!

That was one hell of a comment.

And Endre, I agree that a Title Company has a damn important role in the process.  My only offering outside of what has been discussed is are they reputable and are there referral fees being exchanged in the process?

If there are, I'm fine with it.  As long as I know ...

Endre, I agree that it is very important to work with a reputable Title Co. Our contracts offer the opportunity to buy insurance against such calamity. Almost no one ever pays the $25. Rather as agents we just want that connection with that title rep that we can rely on to get paperwork done in a timely fashion. We  are thinking that fraud just won't happen where we are, that's for someone else.
