Dorothy in the recorder's office and Ginny with the assessors office are 2 of the most helpful individuals I have ever worked with. I currently manage a title company, and was a senior mortgage closer on the lending side for about a decade, and have always dreaded needing to call a county with questions. They heard what the issue was and immediately went into action to assist. Not only did you make my job easier, but you also relieved a lot of stress with the buyers and sellers. Thank You very much for all of your help.
