Colorado Springs Mobile Notary - Leon Austin

One of the reasons why I became a notary signing agent was so that I could have my own business. I wanted to be able to set my own hours, and be free to do whatever I wanted to do.If you're a notary signing agent, you know that's not a reality.  I was scheduled to do a closing last Thursday after...

The dilemma: you're old and you're not able to get around very well. Just going to the corner store to buy groceries is difficult. You would like to save money on groceries and do your shopping at a supermarket, but you can no longer drive.This is a reality for many senior citizens.  Many are dis...

I'm scheduled to do a closing tomorrow. When I received the call from the title company, I was told that the closing would be in Calhan, CO. It's a 30-minute drive: I was also told that I would be printing the loan documents (e-docs).  I based my fee on having to print e-docs, and also for the ti...

You didn't really think this was a glamour job, did you?It's going to come from many directi...

Notary signing agents have questioned for a long time if a single borrower should sign the top of the 1003 loan application.  Some argue that a single borrower should not.  In the absence of specific instructions, I will have a single borrower sign the top of the 1003.Last week I did a closing, a...

Sometimes I think that the measures that signing companies take to ensure that signing agents do their job properly actually hurt the business.  A lot of the things that are required are in conflict with what is the most expedient way of doing things.  Waiting for approval before shipping the doc...

Sisyphus was a mythological character. But there is some reality in the story. The reality is that one cannot maintain whatever position they have. Trying to do so is futile.  It didn't take me long to fall. I was busy the past couple of weeks and didn't have time to spend on ActiveRain. I fell a...

I received a call to do a reverse mortgage closing this morning at 10 a.m.  It is 10:15 a.m. as I write this. If that closing is taking place, as scheduled, then the notary signing agent is doing it for less than what they should be paid.The reason I turned down the closing is because the company...
