Any suggestions on any other possibly "wordings" for assignment fee that won't send up any red flags to anyone like lawyers/mortgage guys/anyone with authority that could throw a red flag?

The title company's philosophy is that title companies insure the past, not the future, and they don't believe that the lenders have the authority to put on such a restriction.

There is usually only one official newspaper for each county that does this.

Sorry for the sidetrack.I would ask him/her "If given absolute authority to make one reform to the financial markets, what would you choose?"

It will likely continue to work just fine for ever, but if you ever need official help (just like Microsoft) and your product is too old - well, tough luck.I've resigned myself to buying new versions every 3 years just to make sure that if I ever need support, it's there.

Cracking down on the authority to spend you money can make a big difference.

Sellers are not stupid and will call around and have an idea of what rates agents are typically charging.The commission IS NOT the agents.The check comes to me unless I authorize and instruct the closing attorney (state of Georgia) to pay the agent directly and then send me a separate check for my fees.Also in the IC agreement (Independant Contractor) agreement I can stipulate a minimum amount agents can go after for listing agreements.Any amount under that it is coming out of their commission.So if company policy is a minimum of 6 then if they agree to five and they are on a 70/30 split the 30 will be based off of a 6% commission reducing their 70% payout.

- Who has signing authority?

However, if that is the case I would send a letter to the title company authorizing only the exact amount to be paid, plus the cost to record the release of lien.

Now I just see recent articles, top authors, and top articles.
