deeds.com has been an easy and efficient way for my organization to file deeds on behalf of older DC residents. KVH especially has been wonderfully helpful in providing guidance about the submission process. Appreciate the professionalism and patience
Thank you for the kind words Kristina.

An excellent service. Makes filing deeds so much easier than having to go to the courthouse or use FedEx. I will be a customer for the rest of my legal career.
Thank you!
Judy W. 5 out of 5 stars
It would be helpful if the numbers on the instruction sheet were on the form. I was confused on page two if the signatures were for witnesses or buyer (grantee). I do like the form and will use it in the future. Also page one Grantee's signature only has one line and if there are two buyers need another line.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Very confusing and a waste of money, Now I will have to pay for another service from another site. Very disappointed.
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear about your disappointment. It is certainly a good idea to seek a more full service route if you are not completely sure of what you are doing. We have canceled your order and payment.

Roy B. 3 out of 5 stars
Convenient yes, expensive "big YES" and with what I paid to record a lien it cost me close to $50. That seems quite exorbitant in my estimation!!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This package of documents from Deeds.com has been extremely helpful, particularly for one who has never needed this kind of service before and is unfamiliar with legal documents in general. It is well worth the price; I would recommend this company to anyone needing help with legal documents and information.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Your system is completely unfriendly to the user. There is no clear way, unless you are a lawyer, to go through the the process without making mistakes. Very disappointed attempted user
Sorry to hear that we failed you Bernadette. We do hope that you were able to find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.

I am very grateful for this service! But I was quite surprised to see the fees went up over 50%! The last 5 or 6 recordings I have done we each only $25.00. Thank you, Sally Center
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
