To streamline the research process, Runkel Abstract & Title Co. maintains a title plant, or a file system that contains the only complete and privately maintained set of index records in Marathon County

Included in the Title Plant are tract indexes; judgment, lien and tax indexes and copies, maps and all recorded documents, and internet access to state records. Runkel has direct copy access to all plat maps, subdivision maps, and metes and bounds maps.

Additionally, Runkel’s library consists of surrendered abstracts and all prior searches completed throughout company history. All tracts are computerized from 1990 to the current posting date, and all records prior to 1990 are on a paper-based system which have been scanned into electronic files enabling the original record search, dating back to the 1800’s, to be performed quickly and accurately.

The Runkel title plant reduces dependency on the Register of Deeds and other departments, and serves as a duplicate system which is private and meticulously maintained. The staff can perform rapid and accurate searches providing an efficiency that boosts output and diminishes turnaround time. Convenience, accuracy, and minimal time requirements are what lenders, realtors, attorneys, and property owners expect, and the title plant, combined with skilled and experienced Runkel staff, produces just that
