The detailed title search training manual explains the title search process from beginning to end. Readers will develop the basics of establishing a chain of title, locating liens and mortgages, and creating a title report. The manual will also describe how to locate supplemental records, where hidden liens and judgments may exist outside the regular land records. These are often overlooked by many searchers.

There is a description of how to join national title search trade organizations, which provide resources for networking and business development. These connections are helpful in developing the experience, over time, needed to perform title searches for a living. The title search course will describe the process of setting up a title search business and building a client list, if you decide to pursue abstracting as a career.

Thousands of properties are bought and sold every month in your area. In addition, there is an avalanche of foreclosure filings in the current market. This creates an increase in the need for proper title searches, at the same time when the number of real estate professionals is decreasing.

The unique real estate market from 2000 - 2007 saw an unprecedented volume of sales, mortgages, and liens in real estate records. The sheer volume has created a high potential for property titles becoming clouded by liens and incorrect records. Title searches are needed now more than ever.

Whether you learn how to perform a title search for your own use, or to get into the title search business, title abstracting is a valuable skill to learn.

This is not an online course, but a printed, bound manual. It includes a business plan for setting up a proper abstracting business, and listing in the most direct online directory website for professional abstractors.
