It was very easy to use the website. I wish there was an option to pay for multiple documents at once instead of having to pay for each one individually.

So far the web site and the tools are a pleasure to use. The price is reasonable. If only getting rid of this timeshare in Mashpee Massachusetts (that I have owned for over thirty years) was this easy.

The link for the note guidelines just shows the same directions as for the mortgage. Other than that, very helpful.

Really solid system for determining what may prevent your documents from being accepted. I love the comments section allowing for fluid communication. I only wish there were automated emails for all those communications and once documents were accepted, but I did receive a couple personally-generated emails regarding the progress instructing me to check the site.
