Dudilagence Foreclosure Auctions Title search Spokane Washington.

[Jeff Wittig]

Hello all in the BP community!

So I'm looking into the foreclosure auctions in the Spokane WA area and I have a question about how to perform a title search on a property that I may be interested in. What is a safe way to do this. Can I go downtown to the courthouse and ask for a title search on the property or sit at one of their computers and find the info? Is it free at the courthouse or is there a fee? Can I trust the info I get at the courthouse or should I play it safe and have a title company or some other company run the search so I am protected by their insurance?

Not sure what the right answer is and any of my online searches have just led to confuse me. Hoping someone who has some experience in this can chime in. Just trying to load my gun before the big hunt.

Thanks

@Tony Wooldridge great information Tony thank you. Today I was able to spend some time on the phone and call down to the Spokane County court house. After calling the wrong section and getting shuffled around a few times I found my way to the auditors office public records division. I spoke with someone in that section that informed me that I can come down and do a title search on their public computers at no charge. She said if I want to print the info that they can print it for me but charge $1 a copy . Tomorrow morning I have on my calendar to head down to the court house to do a title search on about 5 forclosure properties that I am interested in. I also plan to later on (closer to auction date) do a title report at a title company to CMA and to compare the information I get from both places and see if they are the same or if one is better than the other.

I will keep everyone informed of the outcome as I continue through the process in the next few months. Thanks again for all the information and knowledge everyone.
