GuestI think that UCGAl pretty much nailed it.
We are entitled to know. That’s what the recording process is for.
The recording process protects the real estate market from fraud and it protects people who have claims to real estate by allowing them to publicly record their claims.
The trade off is that they give up some of their privacy. That’s just the way it goes.
People of wealth can use trusts, corporations, partnerships, etc.. to obfuscate the ownership. But if you follow the trail, you can find out who owns the property.
So, no, I don’t think it’s time to move along. It’s very legitimate for people interested in real estate to scrutinize every sale.
In the past, in early America, everyone knew everyone and knew who owned what.
The public recording was designed to provide public notice (like shouting in the middle of the town square with everyone assembled so that all citizens would be aware of a transaction).

ParticipantPeople also have the right to have details excluded from the public record. Additionally, some transactions do not fit the standard model that can be easily interpreted at face value. You can continue to dig but this looks like one of those non-traditional transactions that will leave us speculating at best. When I said nothing here to see, I meant it was not $400K sale and unlikely that something underhanded went on. Feel free to dig to your hearts delight.
