Wow! That was easy! I was expecting a more difficult process. Upload your docs and wait for a response. Which was minutes later. I would give it 6 stars.

I requested a property detail report on two houses that I own. The requests were easy to make. After submitting the requests, each report was available for my review within 15 minutes. The reports contained all the information I needed. I am very satisfied with this service.

Deeds.com recorded documents for me without any issue. It's a good service and provides a lot of assistance on its web site. However, I asked for a printed receipt (i.e. an pdf copy of one), but after a staff provided me with an obvious answer, they simply ignored my follow up requests. I also asked a simple formatting question that they should have been able to answer; instead, they passed the buck and referred me to the recorder, which currently is a very time-consuming venture. They also have no telephone number for any issue. Generally, the service saves me the time and effort of physically recording a document, but when you think about $19.00 per recording seems like a steep price for the services rendered.

The site was not easy to navigate. Maybe putting the different things offered at the heading instead of searching for it.

Quick and easy! I had previously prepared a Lady Bird deed, submitted it through Deeds.com and it was accepted/recorded by my county in just a few hours. The Deed.com $21 fee was well worth it as I saved fuel, tolls and parking costs not to mention at least 2-3 hours of my time that it would've taken to get downtown and back home!
