Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n
\nI get calls from people wanting to know how to fix problems with real estate title documents, almost always sound like 20-something women, who treat commas as question marks with a rising voice inflection.\u00a0 It\u2019s painful to listen long enough that I can give the obvious answer.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u201cH<\/span>i.\u00a0 M<\/span>y name is Kelli?\u00a0 From Big Title Company?\u00a0 I just have a quick question and I\u2019m hoping you can help me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe have this customer?\u00a0 And she got married?\u00a0 And changed her name?\u00a0 But she used her old name on the documents and the County won\u2019t accept them for recording because the name doesn\u2019t match.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u201cSo how do we fix that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThrow them away and start over.\u00a0 Do it right this time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Maybe the hesitancy is a generational thing, afraid to make a statement that someone might pounce on as offensive?\u00a0 I don\u2019t notice it with male callers or older women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know.<\/p>\n
But I do know the Millennial generation is on track to replace the Baby Boomers as the most overanalyzed, overhyped generation in history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
