[Grovenet] question

[John Schrag]

I've always found that rather than guess at someone's motives, it works best
to ask them direct questions. I've never known Dave to dodge anyone on
matters of public policy.  Send him a note:

I dunno... he says "not all buyers agree to obtain a title report"... was
this the case in this particular situation? I can't believe a buyer would
forgo a title report and insurance which is a mere pittance against
something like this happening on a million dollar property.  I think the
city manager is waffling.

Thanks! That was the question that arose in my mind as well. --MK

> Not all buyers agree to obtain a title report, especially if the  land is
being sold on land contract.  In that case a bank is not involved to invoke
their version of "due diligence".  We know of property owners who have also
been surprised to learn of delinquent taxes after they purchased land
without a title report.  While title reports are not a guarantee, they
normally will show liens, taxes, special assessments, easements or other
claims filed against a piece of property.
