Terrible service. I was hung up on by Linda. How bad a business can you be?? Charged $475 for a title for subpar service at best. So sad....someone should open a title company in the area that does business right. They didn't even look at utilities that followed my property that I am now responsible to pay. Thanks for nothing!
