A real estate transaction cannot proceed from start to finish without legal judgments and conclusions being made. Certain activities incident to a real estate transaction can, in isolation, be performed by a non-lawyer, but the transaction as a whole is a legal service which should be done by or under the supervision of an attorney with whom the parties have an attorney-client relationship. This means that an attorney should review all information and documents, as well as attend the closing at which the parties execute the documents required to close the transaction or be readily available to respond to any inquiries or issues that may arise. The SITE does not provide any of these legal services.

Search reports are for your direct individual use of the client only. Even searches you order at the request of third parties, such as your bank, attorney, or other entity, are still provided for your use only. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the search report is suitable for any use.

It is up to the buyer of the report to only use the information provided by AFX for lawful purposes. Please review your local laws, as well as Federal legislation such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Patriot Act, and other privacy regulations.

B. Consent

3. Products, Services & Notices
SITE will provide basic real estate information such as legal description, ownership status, valuation, and parcel identification that the SITE collects from public records. We will locate as much additional background information on the property you are seeking as is reasonably available. All title searches are current owner searches, unless specified otherwise by the SITE. However, we are limited by the amount and accuracy of the information that is provided by third party and governmental sources. Since variations on timing of property record updates exist, it is possible that some data, such as very recent transactions may not be available. Your report will capture all data currently available to our sources, but it is possible that some items will not be non-reported. Reports do not always contain all details or exhaustive information. Moreover, we access records controlled by third parties, and report the results to you. The records contained in public files occasionally contain errors or omissions, and user specifically holds the SITE harmless from any and all claims, counts, debts, allegations or causes of action relating to any reliance on the information provided by third parties or the SITE. This release and hold harmless agreement shall be binding on all successors and assigns. Please note that some county and state records may not be available to the SITE due to the scope of information released by those jurisdictions. Also, down time by third party systems might result in delayed responses to the search inquiry. Changes in the law may affect the scope of the results provided, or even the accuracy of the records delivered. You are paying for our research services, not particular results. Reports are provided “as is” and refunds will not be provided for incomplete or inaccurate reports. The SITE specifically disclaims any and all warrantees and guarantees relating to the information provided, and you hereby release the SITE from any claims relating to such warrantees or guarantees. The SITE’s product does not include a physical property inspection, an appraisal, property valuation, or an analysis of market conditions. The SITE specifically disclaims any effort to practice law or real estate in Georgia, or any other state, and emphasizes that SITE’s services is not a substitute for a legal records abstract or services of an attorney, appraiser or real estate broker. The operators of the SITE are not licensed professionals. It is up to the buyer of the report to use the information provided by SITE only for lawful purposes. Please review your local, state and federal laws, including the Fair Credit and Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. §1681) as well as laws relating to consumer rights, before purchasing services from this SITE. Your use of our system is contingent upon your representation that you understand lawful usage in your area, and agree not to use the data for any unlawful purposes. Additionally, you must obtain all necessary licenses, permits, and/or authorizations required by local, state or federal law prior to purchasing or using the information provided by the SITE. The SITE disclaims all liability for the use of the SITE’s product or services, as well as the legality of using the SITE’s product in user’s jurisdiction. For a complete, legally accurate property title status, you should contact a local attorney or title insurance company.

SITE performs data research services only, and does not offer an opinion of title or property. Our title search services retrieves data from publicly available property records, not including superior court or civil court records. Client should determine if superior court or civil court records affect property title. SITE does not accept liability for errors in municipal records or other indexes used to compile data. All liability for SITE is limited to price paid for search by customer.

Many municipalities’ databases have disclaimers similar to this one, for records:

“This index is not the official record maintained by the Register of Deeds, and should be used only to locate or identify recorded documents. The index may not reflect every claim asserted against a particular piece of property, it merely provides key information taken from recorded documents. The office of the County Register of Deeds does not guarantee or assure the accuracy of the information contained in this index, nor does it assure or verify the truthfulness of any information contained in any recorded document.

Documents referenced in this index should be reviewed by an attorney, title examiner or other real estate professionals to determine the interests or claims of any party.”

This type of limitation on search records should be understood by title search clients.

The title search results are sent after an examination of copies of the public records. But even the most thorough search cannot absolutely assure that no title hazards are present, despite the knowledge and experience of professional title examiners. In addition to matters shown by public records, other title problems may exist that cannot be disclosed in a search. Some commercial properties may be priced higher.

Other examples of areas of a real estate transaction which would be beyond the scope of a title search, and would require a legal opinion from a qualified real estate attorney include, but are not limited to the following questions:

How should title be taken and why?

Do any easements or covenants restrict the use of the property and in what manner?

What local land use regulations affect the property?

What happens if the seller fails to deliver as/when promised?

What are the rights and responsibilities of the parties under the contract? Deed of Trust? Deed of Trust Note?

Are the documents appropriate for the intended transfer?

Is the correct property being considered?

Are there issues beyond the scope of the title search that can affect the secure ownership of the property?

Are there tax issues respective to the transaction?

Is searching beyond current owners records necessary?
