After a little glitch due to heavy volume at the County Recorder, my document was recorded. County Recorder was closed to public access at the office (due to the coronavirus issues) so all documents were either mailed to them or sent in electronically. Deeds.com was very efficient at their end with very quick responses to my questions and concerns. I would definitely use their services again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Deeds.com was prompt and fast with the entire process. My document was recorded and completed in less than 24 hours! Thank you again!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
