I was referred to your company, but when i tried to process the recording of a deed to a property in City of Philadelphia my service was rejected. I appreciated the feedback i received from one of your representatives who instructed me in the right process for recording a deed in philadelphia. Thank you for all your help. The deed that needed to be recorded was overnighted yesterday.
