Great service! Super easy to use! I used the service to download a deed notice to do a TOD on a property in Fairfax County, VA. Just a heads up that Fairfax County required me to add the last deed book and page # onto the deed notice but otherwise all was just as they required!

Deeds.com is a quick and effective way at finding property deeds. I had the results I needed in a couple hours without having to miss work to get to the clerks office, which is well worth the price of the service.

This was my first time using Deed.com. It was easier than I expected. The service is more convenient than filing documents in person or by mail. The response from Deeds.com upon the submission of my order was almost instantaneous.

We were extremely satisfied with DEEDS.COM. We spent countless hours trying to contact the Queens County Clerk's Office without succeeding to get through. We needed to obtain an Executor's Deed to transfer the name on my beloved deceased father's property to my name as the executrix of his will. DEEDS.COM is the most efficient and painless way to get the forms you need. To top it all off, they send you, free of charge, additional forms that you may need for your filing purposes. We are truly thankful for their kind assistance!!
