Board members get sued for their idiotic decisions(see above lack of skills)....and those tend to go nowhere because they are indemnified from any causes as a result of their performance, except illegal acts.Most condo fails are due to expense control.

Notary Fee Free or limited by statute, $ 15 for e-recordings.My point here is regardless of who chooses the title company, IF the fees are higher then what other title companies charge, buyers should dispute the fees.In your case, since you are paying for the Owner and Lender title policy premiums, you should take this sheet, ask other title companies to beat it and if they can, tell builder that you have a new title company.Finally, I usually recommend that my Clients go with the builder's approved lenders if it is actually a good deal for them and they are not overcharged elsewhere.I'v had several experiences where the buyer's lender, unfamiliar with the builder, end of demanding to see the builder's financials/evidence they can complete the project and the builder absolutely refuses, causing an obstacle to obtaining loan approval.Good luck.

There is no place to list them on the complaint, but she owes me for repairs to damage caused by her son.

This might cause legal implications down the road.
