Title search turnaround time at a glance
When you order a title search from the Credit Bureau of Wellsboro, you can generally expect your results within 24 hours. Orders are not always identical in timing, so we want to be upfront that a search can take up to 72 hours.
The length depends on order volume at the time you place the order. A busier day may mean a longer wait than a quiet one.
What affects the 24 to 72 hour range
The factor we can point to is how many orders are in the office when yours comes in. Searches are prepared by an experienced abstractor and each one is detailed, so timing follows the workload.
If your closing or deadline is coming up, tell us when you place the order. Call 570-724-1041 and our staff can help you plan around it.
We tell you right away about problems
Speed matters, but so does knowing where you stand. If a problem comes up during your search, we let you know immediately rather than waiting until the results are finished. That gives you time to decide what to do next.
Ordering and receiving results
Our 24-hour fax line, 570-724-9351, takes requests any time of day. When the search is done, results are faxed back to your office. You can also order by phone during office hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. See how to order for what to include.
