Yeah.
0:53:48
I mean oh, no.
0:53:49
I was just gonna say one suggestion that I would have is that I think it's imperative because I think a lot of people are not aware that this new office exists.
0:53:56
And so making sure that all of the other city agencies are disseminating information at all the touch points that they have with New Yorkers is gonna be absolutely critical to get that information out there.

And it it's you know, as I said, things like title insurance policy or the fact that you can check your online register of deeds, but also quick claim deeds.
0:54:18
You talked a lot about that.
0:54:19
I I bet if we did a poll, the majority of New Yorkers have no idea what a quick claim deed is.
0:54:24
So getting that information out there so people can understand what are the warning signs to look for both families and seniors.
