WARNING for New Home Buyers/Owners
Watch out for an official looking letter in the mail telling you that it’s important to have a certified copy of your property Deed. Consumer Reports warns that the companies are charging as much as $100. Don’t be taken by this scam. Chances are you did get a copy of your Deed at closing or mailed to you shortly after but, if you didn’t all you have to do is contact your county Clerk for a copy at a cost of around $10. FYI: The closing agent records the Deeds at the courthouse of where the property is located and will be in their Deed books if for any reason you ever need copies.
