I was in a rush to record a quit claim deed, however due to covid 19 Miami dade county recorders office are not open to public. According to staff I would have to mail in the quit claim deed and wait approximately two weeks for the deed to get recorded. Thanks to Deeds.com I got my document recorded in less than one day. You guys are awesome, I will use this company anytime I need something like this again. Very reliable.

Great service! The example completed form and instructions provided by Deeds.com were extremely helpful for properly filling out the blank form they provided. After completing my form and getting it notarized, I e-filed it to my county clerk's office and it was approved right away with no issues. The entire process was well worth the price and I'm very happy with the results.
Thanks, Thomas. First-try acceptance is the goal every time, and we're glad yours went that way. We appreciate your business.
