[WSBARP] Death of Courtesy Recordings? Third Party E-Recording Services?

[Rob Rowley]

It used to be that one could send a deed or instrument out of county to a
friendly title company who would go ahead and record at no charge.  Seems
to have disappeared.



I just sent over two trustees deeds for a couple of trustee sales I
finished in King and Pierce County for recording. I have a large contingent
of private money lender clients.  Sending the deeds to a different large
corporate title company in King County and discovered  they won't do
courtesy recordings (which I assumed) after sitting around for about ten
days.  I didn't use the title company who issued the sales guarantees
because they were incompetent missing a judgment and a seven-figure
subordinate deed of trust which would've not been noticed on the trustee
sale but for my digging around.  I fired the negligent title company.



They sent the deeds over to a separate third-party electronic recording
service who will be doing my recording for an additional fee.



Thoughts on setting up an account with one of these third party services?
Recommendations?  Pros and cons?



Thanks.
