Questions answered? Let's get started!
Contract for Deed (sometimes referred to as a Land Contract) – Missouri use and applications:
When Buyer Cannot Qualify for Traditional Financing.
Often used by buyers who may not meet bank loan requirements due to credit or income issues.
When Seller Financing is Preferred or Necessary.
When Sellers may offer this arrangement to broaden their buyer pool or avoid dealing with banks.
When Property is Being Sold “As Is”.
Often used in cases involving older or distressed properties where a conventional mortgage would be harder to obtain.
Investment Property Transactions.
Sometimes used in investor deals where holding title back until payment completion is part of the deal structure.
For Sale by Owner (FSBO) Deals.
Common in informal or family transactions without a real estate agent.
Land Sales or Rural Property.
Sometimes used when raw land or agricultural property is sold, especially if the buyer is planning gradual development. Use this form for residential property, rental property, Condominiums, vacant land, small commercial property and planned unit development property. For use in Missouri only.
Things to Consider:
Buyer Risk: Since legal title doesn't transfer until full payment, the buyer can lose the property (and payments made) if they default.
Seller Risk: The seller may have to go through legal action (sometimes similar to eviction or foreclosure) if the buyer defaults.
Recording: Buyer shall be authorized to execute and record this “Contract for Deed” or an “Affidavit of Equitable Agreement” on or after Initial closing.

Product was ok; except in divorce cases there are usually two grantors - your form had only one signature and notary line for a grantor on the Quitclaim deed.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

My deed has now been recorded. Thank you so very much. I saved about $120.00 by doing this with your document service. Thankfully, I heard about you from a friend and did not go with my Title Company that wanted a fee that seems outrageous because of how simple it was to do. I will definitely "advertise" this service to others.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

The forms download was quick and easy. The example deed was excellent. However, the payment method should include PayPal, not just credit cards.
Thank you for your feedback James, we appreciate it.

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.

Well, we are 10 days from leaving the country for months and needed to notarize and record deed changes to our rental properties. We worried about USPS, UPS, DHL, etc. and hardcopies in the County's bureaucrats' hands. Soooo, we learned of Deeds.com from the County web site via one of the bulk digital recorders telling me about Deeds.com. Hit their site, read their instructions, concluded my tiny brain and decrepit abilities could handle the chore. WITHIN AN HOUR OF UPLOADING EVERYTHING INCLUDING C.C. FOR PMT IT WAS RECORDED AND I printed out copies. WORTH the $$ in speed, convenience and PEACE of mind. Pardon the loud trumpeting.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
