Of course, not recording the deed means it is does not provided constructive notice of the conveyance to third parties so their interest (the 3rd party's) may have priority over the grantee's, even if the 3rd party's interest arises after the conveyance, and surprisingly, even if the 3rd party's interest is also unrecorded.
