Why This Site Exists
New Mexico's 33 counties each run their own recording desk, with their own hours and their own quirks -- plus a couple of statewide wrinkles a generic template won't catch, like the Real Property Transfer Declaration Affidavit the assessor's office wants separately, or the fact that a married grantor's spouse often needs to sign too. NewMexicoQuitclaimDeed.com pulls that scattered information into one place: which office to file with, what the affidavit actually asks for, and where remote online notarization can save you a trip into town.
Founded by Toby Kay
Toby Kay, a retired real estate broker, built this site after years of watching buyers and sellers trip over the same handful of avoidable mistakes -- a missing legal description, an unnotarized signature, a spouse's signature left off a deed that needed it. She's not licensed in New Mexico and isn't an attorney, but the plain-language information here comes from someone who's actually closed real estate transactions before, not a legal textbook.
This isn't Toby's first time selling real estate forms online, either. Back in the early days of the internet -- before anyone could safely charge a transaction online -- she ran one of the first businesses selling downloadable real estate forms, letting customers pay on the honor system by mailing a check afterward. Most people did. NewMexicoQuitclaimDeed.com carries that same idea forward.
