A document service, run by a title research company

AFX Research has been researching property records nationwide since 1995, from offices in San Luis Obispo, California. Most of what the company does is abstracting: a person goes to a county office and reads the actual documents.

This site does something narrower and faster. It retrieves what the county has already recorded — the current-owner deed, a specific recorded document you name, the open mortgages and their assignments, or the judgments and liens against a name or a parcel — and sends it to you as a link, usually within one to three business days. Four products, priced from $75, with a real sample of each one you can open before you buy.

The reason we keep both is that they answer different questions, and selling the wrong one wastes your money. If your matter needs an abstractor at the courthouse, we would rather point you at one of our state sites than take the order here.
