Wont answer any of my calls and texts.

The units were causing so many issues that rather than having a tenant call describing no air every month it was better to replace the units. 

When you're ready, here are some good DO's and DON'Ts when getting bids:DOWrite out a detailed scope of work that outlines exactly what you want to do.Clearly define what (if any) materials you will buy and what the GC will supply.Get multiple competing bids.Check GC references, call past clients of theirs and possibly even ask to see their work.Closely analyze each bid and ask a lot of questions on things that are not spelled out.Ask each bidder for an anticipated schedule for the work to be completed.Ask each bidder about their desired payment terms.Sign a contract/written agreement with the successful bidder.DON'TWaste people's time if you're not serious about hiring them.Walk the job with competing bidders at the same time.Assume that all GC's will see the work happening the same way.Pay large sums of money in advance unless it's justified.  

I still don't know what to call the alternative, the one where title is transferred.

A quick call to a knowledgeable attorney or maybe even a licensed mortgage broker may help with the answers.

I will give these people a call.

I found a living niece, going to try calling her. 

You could probably call around and get some quotes for 4-6 times/year bait station installation and refill service from a few different exterminators.
