I had a problem because I was using a phone, so had to get my daughter to request again in her name so it went to her computer..but eventually got it printed
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing us.

I was skeptical when I first came upon this website. Not sure why I had such a negative feeling, but after I received the printed deed I felt relieved and completely satisfied. This is a great website for everyone who wouldn't want to retrieve their deed in person and worth the reasonable fee.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
