the county register office only record the title transfer and possible lien against that property, deeds must be record to be valid, but it does not mean once it recorded then it is a clear marketable title.
quit claim deed are valid deed, it is usually used to transfer title between families and trusts, because it only assume that title is clear with no warranty.
when you purchase a piece property, seller must guaranteed that title is marketable, title company will back it up a title insurance, this will defend you any lawsuit arise later to claim this property for any reason.
now, if you seller only give you a quit deed without an escrow agent, sounds suspicious to me.
it may be 100% legal in your case, but I strongly advise you hire an attorney, or at lease have a local title company to help you, they will use a local attorney to prepare your deed.
