Yeah, I definitely know the qualms that title companies have and honestly they do the most work of anyone in this field. However, just small stuff like not having the HUD ready even at the closing is just really annoying...........or when they dont' cut checks to the different payoffs in time and then appraisers or whatever come knocking on our door thinking its our fault they aren't paid yet when we have no control over the dispursement of funds.
