The guide I needed was very easy to understand and the template was easy to complete. I had a property attorney review the deed before I had it registered and she was impressed. She said she couldn't have written it better herself! Definitely worth the money instead of paying high dollar attorney fees for a simple task.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

I am excited for your service. I'm counting on this working-and calling to see if I can e-file with the County of dealing with, and if so, your service will have saved me more years of stress, worrying about how to correct a deed that was titled incorrectly.
Thank you!

Not sure whether the two forms I printed will be helpful or not. Will find out when I go to a place for completion and to be notorized.
Thank you!

I’m in Clearwater, FL and needed to record a something in Palm Beach County. Deeds.com made the entire process incredibly simple. I submitted the documents, they sent it back once (same day) for a small correction, I fixed it and returned them, and everything was completed within the same day. It was even much faster and more convenient than going to my local recorder’s office. In-person usually means planning when to go, driving across town, paying for parking, and waiting in line — all of which I avoid with Deeds.com. Highly recommended!
Thank you, Zerrin! Glad we could save you the trip across town. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

It was very easy to set up the account but then everything is very costly. I didn't see any publications that were free to account holders, so as infrequently I have to do a title search, I may as well just hire an online service to do the legwork too.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I was dubious at first that clicking on Deeds.com would lead to a phoney website to get personal info. I was very pleased that this is a legitimate & well-organized website with a large database of forms. Very easy to select forms, pay for them, & download them. No hassle, no pushing you to make additional purchases. Very straightforward & professional.
Thank you!

Absolutely horrible service and experience. Would not recommend to anyone. If there was an option to select a zero star rating I would have. I am sure this review will not be posted.
Thank you for your feedback Jodi.

The service itself is great, but the deed sample I ordered wasn't as accurate as I'd hoped. I needed to correct and resubmit. Not a huge deal, but a bit of an inconvenience.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This was so easy to download, open the files and then complete the document on the computer then printing out. I waited to review this until we took it to Courthouse for the Recorder of Deeds and the legal task is now done. An attorney would probably have charge $300. This is a real deal packet!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Linda. It’s great to hear the documents were easy to complete and accepted by the recorder with no issues.
