Excellent Service I was looking for a copy of deeds on a few properties. Researched online and ended up at Deeds.com. I signed up for a new account, entered the pertinent information, paid a nominal fee and received all deeds within 40 minutes. Seamless and very impressed! Bob

It was outstanding, seriously, I had 3 e mail correspondences asking for information and providing feedback within 2 hours and was ready for submission at that point. I paid the invoice online and by the end of the day I had electronic verification that Registry of Deeds had processed my documents. That work is good stuff ! Pete
Glad we could be of assistance Peter, thank you for the kinds words. Have an amazing day!

Easy, but it would be nice if there was an option for font size. It looks tiny, like 6 or 8.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
