My name is Joan Hottenstein and I am a seasoned pro when it comes to organization, details and thoroughness. I transitioned to being a loan signing agent after a long career as a sales and marketing executive in book publishing and fine stationery. I also have extensive experience planning and managing projects as a community and school volunteer.

I successfully completed:
--The in-person loan signing agent course with Notary Public Seminars in CA.
--Background check through NNA.
--LSA exam through NNA.

In addition:
--I have a $100,000 E&O policy
--I am a certified notary in the State of California
--I have a dual-tray laser printer and a portable scanner

Marin County has been my home for 30 years, and I also cover Sonoma, Napa, San Francisco and Alameda Counties.

I have purchased/sold and refinanced multiple properties, and love being a part of the process as others experience home ownership, particularly first-time buyers.
