Documents are ok but I needed to reword some of the verbiage and it cannot be edited without paying a monthly or annual membership. otherwise it is a very nice site.

I had worked for a couple of months sending things back and forth to the county and still had no success. I decided to use deeds.com and it was all done in a few hours. Such a relief! While I find this to be wrong and the county should work with property owners as well as they work with third parties, I was still grateful for this service.

It worked great- I had a little trouble at first with the site, figuring out where to do what, but the form was much better than the one we purchased at Staples, loved being able to fill out with the computer. We did need the other form as per the screen prior to ordering but couldn't figure out which one. The ladies at the recorders were great too.

Ordering and directions were easy. The only thing missing in the instructions was how to record by mail. Thanks!
