Reaching For a Brown Paper Bag?

 10 Great Panics I Have Known (and Survived) in the Title & Escrow World

1. Title Insurance:  The integrity of the transaction is dead.  Abstracting is the only way to go.

2. Computers – DOS based: No computer is as accurate as me and my typewriter.

3. Computers – Windows based: Learning this mouse just might kill me.

4. Y2K:  What happens if all these computers die???

5. The Refi Boom: This will surely kill us all, but we will die well paid.

6. On-line Transactions:  I’ll never see my customers again.

7. AfBAs:  I’m so mad I could hurt someone, but I don’t know who they work for.

8. Underwriter Direct Shops:  They will ruin everything.

9. Paperless Offices:  No Paper?  No Life!

10. RESPA Reform: Surely this one will get me!
