Published on Friday, May 04, 2012

The Plymouth and South Shore Association of Realtors (PASS) Education Committee worked directly with John Buckley, Jr., Register of the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds to develop an educational program for PASS Members on “How to Navigate the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds.” The program included an introduction to Registry resources and a presentation by Registry information systems department head, Christine Richards, on conducting on-line research. Mrs. Richards demonstrated the many functions provided through the Registry website’s “Advanced Search” option. Another segment of the program, called “Title Traps for the Unwary” was presented by Attorneys Bill Patsos and Bill Wagner of Old Republic Title Insurance, and was well received by those in attendance. Attorneys Patsos and Wagner covered the many benefits of Title Insurance and discussed a number of frequently encountered documents, legal terms and issues relevant to residential real estate transactions. The 160 PASS Realtor members in attendance earned two continuing education credits on Understanding Title and Title Concerns through this program. This program was provided, free of charge to PASS members as part of the Plymouth and South Shore Association of Realtors' mission to provide its members the resources to deliver the highest level of professional service to their customers and clients.
