With the work I do, I've found these particular kinds of sites (public records search) to be very useful. In real estate you Must know the kind of people your dealing with, and doing county record research manually can be very time consuming. I will say though, you must find the right source to run your queries. The sites that are referred to as scams are perceived that way because they don't keep their databases up to date. Make sure you find one that up-dates their data on a regular basis and when you do, at that point, they are performing a task and a service, one I might add is not so easily accomplished unless you consider searching and sorting out thousands of bits of information, easy? Which can very well be the case when researching information on a particular individual via search engines or state/county websites. Yes, they are charging you a fee for compiling public information, and yes you can search for it yourself, but that's exactly the nature of the service provided, it saves you the leg work, or in this case, the finger work. ;)

As far as cost go, take for example Florida, their state website charges a 24.00 fee for Each name you choose to run a search for, regardless of the results. That's 24.00 PER search. In my book that's a little pricey.... Where as a search provider will usually offer a single one off fee for a single report, or you can subscribe to their members area, on a monthly basis, and run multiple record searches of many variety. Some even offer court running, which is actually going down to the local court house to apply for the information you are requesting.

To make clear, Not all states do... allow public record retrieval. With each of the various 50 states you’ll find that the types as well the availability of search-able records will vary, depending on local and state laws. Now take a capable record search website, like the one I use on a regular basis, PAR has an entire page that explains what types of information can be retrieved online or physically from each of the 50 states, as well as a lot of other useful information pertaining to this topic. And yes, you can do a free name search for potential availability, and email them with any questions you may have.

Hope this post has helped clarify some of the misconceptions surrounding websites that offer public record retrieval.
