So far so good. Looks nice but a more condensed version, when the recorder charges by the page, should be offered.

It was easy to download, but you need to open an account before doing so. That was not clear.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

This service is amazing! We have tried several other online recording services which all disappointed. Deeds.com got all three of our documents recorded same day as invoice payment. Thank you for the quick turn around! We will be using this service often.
We are sincerely grateful for your feedback and are committed to providing the highest quality service. Thank you for your trust in us.
Matthew L. 5 out of 5 stars
I would make just two suggestions. (1) Create and example showing multiple grantor(s) and (2) In the same example, show where and estate is conveyed to two or more people. It would help in knowing the correct format.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
