Thank you for the feedback. We will take a look at the date field to see if there are any issues. Have a great day!

Was a bit difficult to navigate. I feel a fee to access the site and a fee to print is a bit much. I am in the real estate business and find the deeds very useful
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I thought the process was fairly easy. The price was reasonable. I had a slight problem, some of the words were missing from one page of the documents when I printed it. However, after I saved it to my computer, I was able to print the page in full.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It was confusing at first, but the customer service was excellent and fast and I got everything taken care of right away. I'll use Deeds.com even after the recorder's office is open to the public.

The process was easy going. The process is one thing, the results another. I have attempting to resolve this matter, of claiming sole ownership of the property for several YEARS. I lost my Bride of 65 years in 2015. A lawyer I hired failed in his attempt, so I'm waiting to see the actual results. I also have two parcels in New Mexico under the same situation, so if this is successful, I'll gladly be back. Thank You so very much. Don Martin
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Can you also make a search that includes the parcel number because that is all I had to go with and regular name searches didn't come up with anything I needed.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

The service was fast, but I didn't learn about the results until I logged in. I would have liked to get email when the report was finished.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
