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

[Allen Sakai]

Rob:

We use ePN.  No set up fee.  No monthly fee.  No annual fee.  Just $4 per recording (on top of the regular recording charge from the county of course).  They are supposed to be state wide and actually national.  But just check to make sure they cover the counties you are working in.  Snohomish County was a bit of a pain to set up but we did it.

Subject: [External Email][WSBARP] Death of Courtesy Recordings? Third Party E-Recording Services?

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.
