John, thats really not how it works.

My son’s original bc is somewhere in an archive.
The hospital has records but will not release them to anyone with or without my permission (barring power of atty) per federal law.
The thing I buy at the courthouse is a COLB or equivalent.

My original bc is somewhere in a state department archive. I have never seen it. (I was born on a US base in Germany)

The copies I get for getting a passport is a COLB.

Most people consider these equivalent.

Its a bit like the difference between a certified check and an official check. Most bankers make no distinction.

Similarly, most people reviewing these certs make no distinction.

I got a duplicate a few years ago. It has the date of printing and certification on it. The seal does not have my birthday (or birth year) on it.

Rustico makes some good points here.

I would also caution the line of thought that you could get a lower price by cutting out a buyer’s agent. The listing contract the seller signs explicitly gives that cut to the listing agent in such a case. In other words, the seller’s advocate gets paid double and you get to work with someone who may not have your interests at heart. I have only ever seen one exception.

Further, I recommend that you have a friend who recently bought a place give you their copy of the complete file. My files typically run to 400 pages or so and so I give them to clients on CD. The forms will help you gain some familiarity with the complex issues that come up.

And really feel free to ask agents for help on an uncompensated basis. Bear in mind though that it is free advice.

Good luck to you.

I can recommend a couple.
I am happy to do so.

However, most reps I know will not give service to someone who wont refer business to them.

Non agents cant really refer (other than the deal they are working).

If you give me or SD or sdr the info, we can run it up the flagpole.

If you would prefer to handle it yourself I will send or post the info.

I would now but my bag is all the way across the room…

[quote=jficquette]Urban,

Factcheck is lying.

John[/quote]
And newsmax is part of this conspiracy?

Factcheck was cited by cheney in the last election as backup for his cause.

Is snopes part the conspiracy?

Do you have solid evidence of some kind?
