E-Recording Documents

In today's competitive market, being able to save time and money, while supplying superior service to your clients and customers is critical. Electronic recording provides the opportunity to do all three while maintaining the service you expect from your local Register of Deeds office. On May 11, 2011 Kent and Ottawa County offered an E-recording Symposium to educate our users on the ease and benefits of E-recording.

The Symposium was well attended. The participants learned about the legislation making E-recording a reality and heard from First American Title Company how easy and beneficial e-recording is.

We accept electronic documents from the four major e-recording companies that were on hand to explain their products and demonstrate how easy and cost efficient this process is. To contact the companies and get information and pricing please contact (in alphabetical order):

• Simplifile: www.simplifile.com
