Published by Jeff | Filed under Media, Register of Deeds

My interview with Leanne Petty aired recently on “Wake Up With The Wolf”.   A company based in Illinois called National Deed Service, Inc. sent deceptive letters to Guilford County citizens earlier this month.   Leanne asked about the company’s mailing and how citizens can obtain certified copies of the homeowner’s deed.  Take a listen!

Thanks to Leanne and WPAW!
