So, let me get this straight, if you want to close on a property with clear title in Orleans Parish you can't until 2011? Wowzers, no one thought to back up the title data?
Warning that a 3-week-old computer malfunction in the clerk's office at Civil District Court is threatening to "devastate not only the local real estate market but the overall local and state economy," a real estate group appealed Thursday to Gov. Bobby Jindal, Mayor Mitch Landrieu and other elected officials to lend their assistance in resolving the issue.
"This is an extremely urgent matter that warrants immediate action," the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of Realtors said in a statement.
Kyle Plotkin, Jindal's press secretary, said Thursday night that the governor's office had not received a request for assistance, "but we certainly want to do whatever we can to help. Our legal counsel will work with local officials to see what authority both the state and the local governing authority have in this type of matter."
