in my area there are no transfer stamps to pay.

A landlord can not transfer some responsibilities (heating, water, functional roof, doors and windows functioning, safe electrics).So, if you have an agreement and the tenant is following it you pretty much have no leg to stand on if you feel something is wrong.

If it is wrong at the credit bureau then it is wrong no matter who you use.There is always an issue of databases having bad data.

When a transfer happens the state steps in with a lien.

Death, divorce, job loss, transfer?

They seem to have more data, more ways to dice it up and view it.

That works if the birddog gets it but it increases costs as it adds another transfer into the deal.

Most have staff that visit the county every day to compile this list.The reason they will share the data is because they do not sell data per say.

I think quality would be very important in an answering service, not just for the answers you get but the mood that you put potential sellers in; somebody who is subjected to a disinterested person making nearly minimum wage is not going to be flattered by such an obvious service gathering their data!

These are drive by appraisals.As properties sell the data will be re-evaluated and properties that are outside of the expected range will have their appraisal updated.Some wonder how you can check every property even if just from the street.
