Hello there! I have over 4 yrs as a notary signing agent, have closed well over 7,000 signings. I work mostly with title companies directly and spend almost every Friday at title and close 8-12 closings back to back.

---

I also realize that understanding the docs is only about 1/3 of our job as closers. We also need to know that:

• We are the last set of eyes for the transaction so we should be verifying name spellings, loan amount, address and date of docs.


• We have to be knowledgable about printing docs at the correct size with no cut off pages.


• We need to be sure to have signing completed with correct color ink


• We need to understand how the signer needs to sign - POA, Trust, Member etc...


• We need verify signers have valid and correct ID


• We need to be aware of any funding conditions and getting those taken care of first.


• We need to know if signers are coming to the table owing funds or if they are receiving funds and make sure we have Wiring or Funding instructions.


• If copies for signers are required, we need to make sure to provide them, as well as any agents that may need copies.


• If buyer/seller/investment property, we need to be aware of our time constraints and make sure if we are scanning docs back immediately after the signing.


• We need to understand the urgency and timing of our signings/scanning/shipping to ensure funding happens on time.
• Last, I think one of the most important things about our job is communication, it can make or break a relationship!

I am all about good communication, and if I can help in any way, please let me know!
