What is the point of paying loads for a notary?

Settlement Agents who close deals on real estate transactions including, title companies, attorneys and escrow companies often require mobile notaries to witness the signatures on loan agreements. Lenders, Builders and Estate Agents need good notaries as well.

This ‘loan document signing’ is considered an art form and, although only small, is a critical part of the deal that is often seen as a clerical formality.

When documents need to be accurately signed a great distance away and returned by the next day, time is of the essence and the deal is could be on the line. Specialist notaries as closing professionals are depended upon by customers needing to protect their reputations at this point in the deal.

It is therefore vital to use those notaries that will look after the reputation of the company that employs them, and that of the client being served.

Therefore, past the basic capability of notarisation, what is there to consider to satisfy the signing needs of any customer?

The role of the Preferred Notary is known well by those who practice it, who feel comfortable with its importance. They must be able to convey to the borrower that they are a neutral party, hired by an agency. The notary signing agent is therefore the purpose of making sure the borrowers are properly identified and the loan documents are properly executed.

The Preferred Notary role has evolved away from other services within the process like estate agent, lender, closer or attorney within the transaction process. They defer to the expertise of the other professionals when borrowers ask about the terms, effects, financial and legal implications of the documents they are signing. Normally the other professional are available to help to satisfy any of the client’s demands.
