Beware Of Deed Solicitation
February 27th, 2007 . by Knox BardeenSome Cobb County homeowners (I was not one them) received a letter from National Deed Services Inc. offering them a certified copy of their deed for $59.50. While this offer from National Deed is not illegal, it’s outrageously priced. Web savvy homeowners can find their deed online (http://www.cobbsuperiorcourtclerk.com/) if their home was purchased after 1977. Or you can go to the Clerk of Superior Court (located on Marietta Square) and request a certified copy of your deed for $2.50 or a non certified copy for $0.50.
Wow, what a scam - are there any numbers on how many homeowners actually fell for this?
