Suffolk Registry of Deeds

Had a closing at the registry of deeds. Parking was expensive ($ 30) but a breeze to get in and out of Boston. We didn’t have to wait long for a room. The clerk recording was very grumpy thpugh, almost like your bothering him. I’m sorry, it is your job, right? Other than that ot was a positive experience and was easy the get back to the highway.

(score 1 – 100) — 70. This is a Registry of Deeds if you live in Boston, Chelsea, Revere or Winthrop. If you are buying or selling a property or maybe you are just getting your mortgage refinanced, you will be coming to the registry of deeds to sign a few documents with your attorney or mortgage company.
This location is located in the Newish Edward Brooke Courthouse. It is the super tall courthouse that is shaped like a triangle, close to the Government Center Garage. There are other court services located in the building so when you get through security (think a lesser version of the airport), ya know take off your belt and empty your pockets and leave your hunting knife collection at home. Walk straight ahead pass the snack food stand and you will be entering the Registry of Deeds. This is a longish hallway so keep walking until you come to room with tables. Your attorney or mortgage rep will probably be waiting there for you. If not roam around and get bored quickly because there is nothing but old books with records going all the way back to the very first deed conveyance in the city of boston! woo hoo!

So, I bought a condo. yay! I came here to sign the papers (boo). my hand has never cramped so badly, and i had a gnarly claw the rest of the day.
This place is hard to find, its down a dark tunnel where there’s a convenience store, and then it looks like what old libraries used to be jsut tables and records. There’s a lot of people working there but I don’t know what they do. I had to find a little nook to meet w/​my attorney and the sellers attorney and sign papers but they were all occupied, and none of the rooms had names, name plates, or signs to indicate what party was in what room. So it was rather annoying to have to bother every room.
it felt like i was playing lets make a deal, kept picking a door and seeing a goat eating hay. No good.
but it’s public works and i got my house and everything on file. the facilities definitely need to be modernized but its prolly such a low priority it’ll never get the funding to make it happen… unless there’s a cleansing blaze and a nice insurance policy out there… but that wouldn’t be wise. cuz fire is bad, arson is worse.
so if you find yourself there to sign papers don’t be afraid to bug people, and stick your head in every room. its a good time… or just pick whats in the box…
