Saturday. The weekend. Time off. Not for notary signing agents. I had a closing scheduled for 12 noon. The documents were supposed to be delivered to the borrower.

People make spelling mistakes, so it's a good idea to check with the borrower when you make the confirmation ca...

I got a call early this morning from a title company on the east coast. They are sending me a revised HUD Settlement Statement for a closing I'm doing tomorrow. What surprised the person calling was that I answered the phone so early. She said, "I was hoping to reach your voice mail."  She didn't...
