How Good Abstractors Find What Others Miss

What separates someone who can find deeds from someone who can actually understand title? Brandon, Jeremy, and Nathan talk about the human side of title research. They dig into why curiosity matters so much in an abstractor, why checklists can only take you so far, and what it means to follow the story behind the records instead of simply collecting documents. The conversation also gets into the responsibility an abstractor has to the person who will ultimately use the work. Good title research should anticipate questions and make the client’s job easier. That requires more than knowing where to search. It requires judgment, initiative, and genuine care for the quality of the finished product.
