A Contract for Deed is a Seller financing agreement:
The seller/vendor retains legal title to the property until the buyer/vendee honors the contract.
The buyer takes possession upon the terms set in the contract.
When the purchase price is fully paid, the seller delivers a Warranty Deed (or other deed) transferring legal title.
A South Dakota Contract for Deed is often used when:

-For example, limited/poor credit history or nontraditional income.
Rural property or agricultural land is being sold, where traditional lending is limited.
The seller wants to sell quickly or avoid bank involvement.
Investment or estate sales where seller wants steady income and potential tax deferral.
Small-town or private party sales, common outside Sioux Falls or Rapid City.

Arrived at your site from my county's government site. Saw that all the forms I think I need were included in one package deal, hopefully its the correct package. I Although I've not looked into other aspects of the site, retrieving the forms was pretty easy. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

It was OK but unfortunately useless. The jurisdictions are now requesting that documents such as Notices of Commencement not only be recorded at their offices, but also certified. This last service is not provided by Deeds, or at least I could not find it in your website and did not receive a response when I asked if you did. Thus, we are going back to traditional means of recording/certifying
Thank you for your feedback Jose. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

I love deeds.com - hands down, the quickest way to record a warranty deed. The process and communication is so quick - the recording transaction too. Worth the extra $20 to me for my time! I didn't spend over an hour driving around, talking to someone via a kiosk to record the deed, didn't have to spend the energy of loading kids into the car to come with me, etc. The efficiency and timely process is worth the cost! Love having this available! The whole process via deeds.com took less than 5 minutes to upload a document and less than 3 minutes to pay the invoice shortly thereafter. The final recording was in my inbox in less than an hour. Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

This is my first time using this website and was impressed for the simple and clear web design and exploring. Now I am anxiously waiting for the e-recording up running to start my deed process.
Thank you for taking a moment to share your thoughts.

Easy, simple and fast. I am familiar with deeds in my state and these looked correct. The common missed document of TRANSFER OF REAL ESTATE VALUE document was also included. Kudos on being complete.
Thanks Mark, we really appreciate your feedback.

I was frustrated by Orange County and all the other options they gave me to submit my paperwork. Deeds.com was the easiest to sign up for and I was impressed with how smoothly everything went. The price is well worth the convenience.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

I wanted to do an Enhancement Life Quitclaim deed and the county government lady didn’t know what I was even talking about. I ordered the deed from Deeds.com and filled it all in,submitted to the county clerk who took 10 minutes to study it before she accepted the deed. This was the easiest transaction I’ve ever made! I actually felt smarter than the clerk who worked at the count office over 20 years.
Thank you, Linda! We’re glad the process went smoothly and that our forms helped you complete your recording with confidence. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
