So happy to have found this site. It’s just what I was looking for.
We are grateful for your feedback and looking forward to serving you again. Thank you!

This was a seamless process. It probably took one minute to fill out my information and upload the document. It was formatted and sent immediately. It was processed the next day at the county recorders office. I have zero complaints. Before finding this company I spent an entire day calling and leaving messages at other e-filing companies like simplfile and others but they all required subscriptions. I just needed to file a single document now and then so that was not a good fit. (And those companies I found out still require the customer to do all the work!). Deeds.com kept me informed throughout the process every step. I'm happy to write this review. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Paid the money, but never received any information; not even an email saying they couldn't find anything.
Thank you for your feedback. Reviewing your account, looks like the property detail report you ordered was completed on December 14, 2018 at 10:56am. The report has been available for you to download in your account ever since.

I would make just two suggestions. (1) Create and example showing multiple grantor(s) and (2) In the same example, show where and estate is conveyed to two or more people. It would help in knowing the correct format.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

They have been fabulous not only for getting me the Title and Property info I needed quickly, but also for determining which Deed (of many) that I actually needed. They are an outstanding resource for any real estate investor, property owner, Realtor, or attorney.
