I used deeds.com to record a deed because the recording office closed due to Covid 19. It was easy to sign up and upload the documents I needed recorded and within 24 hours possibly even less, the deeds were recorded. I am very happy with the service and the $15 fee was affordable and worth every penny to get it done so quickly.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I had to add a section on the form to accomodate the former Grantor/Grantee informtion before it could be recorded
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
