I recently posted a topic, Governing dynamics and Notary Signing Agents. In it I recommended that notary signing agents do what is best for themselves ... and the group. One way to do this is in the pricing of their services.The problem is the competitive behavior of many notary signing agents. T...

One of the biggest peeves of notary signing agents is that, we are not given a place on a document for our notary seal. And depending on state law, there are specific rules regarding where the seal must be placed.Sometimes there is wording in the way.  Or there is not enough room on the document ...

In a previous post I mentioned that no two lenders are the same. That holds true for closing assignments as well.

The situations can change from day to day, but there isn't much of a change in the conditions.  But for notary signing agents, the working conditions are always different. Each closing assignment takes us to a different l...

One of the questions I'm frequently asked by the borrowers is: "Who do you work for?"
