For Immediate Release

From the Eastern Middle Tennessee Association of Realtors – Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that we have entered into a subscription with Bev Spickard's our Register of Deeds for Wilson County.  This will allow our Realtor members to have access to www.WilsonDeeds.com  website with the association covering the cost of the service.

Your Board of Directors is very happy to announce it has successfully negotiated a new FREE benefit for our members.  This new benefit may save you money but if used, will definitely save you time and maybe even frustration!  It will even allow you to get information on properties, including a plat, restrictions, liens and other information from the courthouse at 2 a.m. and you don’t even have to call the listing agent!  The information can be emailed to others or used in RealTracs for others to see on your listings.

If you have used this service, you already know how beneficial this service is to your business.  Several of our members already subscribe to www.WilsonDeeds.com at a cost of $25 or more PER MONTH.  If you or your firm is a subscriber, it is your responsibility to cancel your subscription or it will continue with the monthly changes due per your agreement.

In order to access this FREE service, you must be a full Realtor member of EMTAR.  Affiliate Members are not eligible for this offer.  Go to www.WilsonDeeds.com and click Apply to Search Deeds.  Complete the form with EMTAR and your firm name in the company field.  You will create a username and password and agree to the terms.  Submit the form and once approved you will have full access to the information.  Information is easily read in a .pdf format.  The .tiff format is still available but is not as easy to send via email to clients or print.  If you do not put EMTAR in the company field, you will only have a temporary account until you pay for the subscription.

Searching for information has a very short learning curve.  Most can even find information after signing into the system.  Training can be scheduled via Beth at 615-443-2611.  Bev Spickard's and his staff have offered to provide training at your sales meetings or in their office one to one.

Bev is an elected official that you will find most days at the courthouse helping our members as well as the public.  He does not sit behind a desk but is very active in ensuring that the courthouse is friendly to all that enter.  From providing directions to the proper office needed, to explaining what his office provides, Bev is an asset to Wilson County residents.


Your EMTAR Board of Directors
