Published 2020-02-14
Notary Signing Agents deal with important and sensitive information. Learn about common document mistakes to avoid and inform yourself on ways you might overstep your role as an NSA: bit.ly/NSAmistakes.

Loan closings are significant transactions and require great caution from the Signing Agent. This workshop will teach you the common types of errors NSAs make, from document mistakes to privacy breaches. You’ll also learn how to “wow” the borrowers at every transaction so that you become a title company’s go-to Notary Signing Agent.

13:37 - Common issues with loan signings and documents that frequently contain mistakes.
19:29 - How to become a “favorite Notary” with title companies.

    Most of the errors that happen are result of title companies not sending correct information in time

    Those not so wow moments are unbelievable! I think some forget how serious this line of work is and that professionalism is essential

    Notaries are sooooo very important to the entire loan transactions! Notarizing mortgages for $100K and over mortgages! Yet they only want to pay us $100-$200 dollars! It should be if the loan is $100K we at least make $500.00-$1000.00 each signing! If we go and notarize a mortgage for over $250,000.00 we should be making at least $2,000.00 each one! We have to do a lot!, sign here, check there, yet they want low ball us on our fees!
