Outside of physically going to OC Recorder's office and looking up the deed, is there any way to find who the loan owner is? 

I am getting tired of shady agents and would like to just let the loan owner know about the shenanigans.  I have run into agents asking for money under the table, forcing me to use them for double commission, lying about sq ft, etc.  I think its a problem of the short sale process as the final approver is the loan owner but they dont usually pick the listing agent.  Unfortunately, the only properties that meet our needs and price point tend to be short sales and we have run into a few too many shady agents for our liking.  The seller doesnt care and if its the money under the table situation, they are colluding with the agent.  Ultimately, the loan owner is getting screwed by these gatekeepers and the buyer is getting a horrible experience. 

I doubt the big banks would care or have a process to even fix this but some of the houses we have looked at have loans that were sold to smaller private investors.  I bet they would care.

You should report those agents to the local realtor association as well as the DRE.  Unfortunately the only ways to find out who the current lender on the property is to go to the County Recorder's Office or have a realtor provide you with that information.  I can provide you that information, just PM me the address.

Awww shucks...you are gonna make me blush.  :-[  I just speak my mind, whether it's on the forum or in real life.  I know that most all my clients appreciate that as I'm sure many of the folks on here do.  I'm not your typical realtor and damn proud of that even if I ruffle a few feathers along the way.  Not everyone is gonna like me, how I do things, or what I have to say but such is life.  Because I have been so fortunate with the business that the forums have provided me, the least I can do is give back via information and content.  I'm more than happy to help anyone I can whether it leads to anything or not....it's all about keeping the good Karma train going.  :D
