The service was fast, but I didn't learn about the results until I logged in. I would have liked to get email when the report was finished.

The service was simple and easy enough but the UI isn't the easiest on the eyes and the process is a tad strange.

This was an excellent experience. The jurisdiction I was registering the Deed with, entrusts Deeds.com with their filing needs. And the staff held my hand through the process, and worked to submit the best package, and the Deed was successfully recorded.
