Recorded · Retrieved · Delivered
Property title documents and online real estate records. We pull the recorded deed for a property — with its legal description, the grantor and grantee, and the vesting as recorded — and, at the higher tiers, the electronic list of mortgages and liens recorded against it. Records come from electronic county land records and arrive as an emailed link, in typically one to three business days.

A scanned copy of a recorded document you specify — a lien, judgment, mortgage, lease or plat map — found by property address, by name, or by the index you provide.
$150per property3–5 business days
Seeing who currently holds the mortgage
A parcel searched for any open, unsatisfied mortgages, together with every assignment — each transfer of that mortgage between financial institutions — recorded against it.
from $225per property3–5 business days
Tax liens, mechanics liens and other claims
A name or a property address searched for open, unsatisfied judgments and involuntary liens over a period you specify. Searching on a name requires a period — twenty years, for example.
Prices are per property. Where the records for a property are not available electronically, the only source for the documents is the municipal records office — see the FAQ.
What You Get
The recorded deed for the property, with the legal description, the grantor and grantee, and the recording date as they appear on the instrument itself.
What has been recorded against the property — open mortgages and every recorded assignment of them, and open judgments and involuntary liens such as tax and mechanics liens, with recording dates and the holder of record.
Records are retrieved from the public records office for the county the property sits in and sent as an emailed link. Deed and document retrievals take one to three business days; mortgage assignment and lien searches take three to five.
How It Works
All information is kept confidential and is not disclosed. We use secure servers and data encryption. No notice is made of your search.
The street address, city, state and zip, or the APN (Assessor's Parcel Number) if you have it. The APN is not required, but it removes any ambiguity about which parcel to pull.
A current deed retrieval, a specific recorded document you name, a mortgage assignment chain, or a judgment and lien search. Each one has a sample you can open before you decide.
Order online through the checkout. Nothing is filed, nothing is disclosed to the owner, and no notice is made of your search.
Documents are sent as an email link. A retrieval averages one to three business days; a search averages three to five. The link stays live for 60 to 90 days, so download what you need.
Read This First
This site retrieves documents. It reports what has been recorded electronically, for the property searched, in the county where the property sits. A title search is something else: an abstractor reviews the actual paper documents directly at the county courthouse. Both have their place, and they are not interchangeable.
AFX Research does courthouse title searches too, on its other properties. If that is what your matter needs, we would rather send you there than sell you the wrong thing.
Questions
Our Network
A document search is not a courthouse title search. When a matter needs an abstractor working the county records on the ground, these are our own state properties — all 50 of them are AFX Research sites, not third-party firms.
Pick the product that covers what you need — a current deed retrieval from $75, or a search for the mortgages, judgments and liens recorded against the property. Records are retrieved from the county's public records office and arrive as an emailed link, typically in one to three business days for a retrieval and three to five for a search. Open a sample first if you want to see exactly what you get.
