Excellent Site for recording documents to respective county Recorder Office. Excellent customer service, very well informed and experienced staff who responds promptly and guide customers throughout recording process. My recording was suspended But KVH (Staff) gave me proper timely advise and guided me for the procedure till recording was done by county office. I would like to give 6 stars or more to the site as per my experience with this site. Highly recommended site
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Our firm is working remotely and a lot of court services are limited with the corona-virus shutdowns, but we needed to record a Deed at the last minute. There was no other way we'd could get it done that quick without Deeds.com (staff) helped us work out some kinks and we got it recorded in less than 1 business day! Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it. Glad we could help.

Thank you for offering this service. We were getting several different answers on how to solve our problem, and all of them involved getting an attorney. You saved us a ton of money and using your document made everything super easy...no attorney needed! Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I think it needs to be easier to enlarge print to fit an 8"x12" sheet of paper. Printing off samples is difficult to read as it is too small
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Website is easy to use. I ordered the form, filled it out and uploaded it for recording. My only critique is that you can't preview the form before ordering and paying for it. I ordered a Deed of Full Reconveyance form only to find out I needed the Substitution of Trustee and Deedn of Reconveyance form instead. So I wasted $22 on the wrong form.
Thank you for your feedback. Order and payment for the incorrect order has been canceled. Have a wonderful day.
