Remember when it wasn't a crime to make a profit?....when someone found a recipe for success, you would strive to emulate that behavior so as to have a duplicate result? Better yet, you'd do it better than the other guy, thus raising the bar and … (0 comments)

Modified from a previous post made elsewhere by "A Quick Note"
I recognize that there is a vast difference in the goals, aspirations, education, training and especially the abilities of the professionals who visit this and other similar sites. This seems to be a theme that runs through … (0 comments)

As a notary signing agent, we are also master-planners. We take phone calls, set appointments, pick-up and deliver documents, catch FEDEX and UPS trucks, navigate traffic situations while printing docs, while waiting for that fax from escrow, while trying to choke down … (13 comments)

What have you done for me lately?
Originally posted elsewhere by "A Quick Note" on June 2, 2007

I ran across another "lawfully challenged" individual (mortgage broker) yesterday. He just wanted to get his deal done and was truly "put off" by my adherence to the law. Although he didn't cross over the line, he came very close. … (2 comments)

certified loan signing agent: No real cure for borrowers fears...only levels of comfort with the process - 04/07/08 07:59 PM
In my experience, having conducted over 5,000 signings, borrowers often have trepidation at the signing table. For the most part, mortgage brokers don't even know that the docs have finally come together from the lender and that escrow has sent me to sign their clients. After their surprise of my calling them to … (4 comments)

What is the meaning of life?I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you!
Perhaps the meaning of life is to enjoy the experiences you share with those you love. How's that?

As Notary Signing Agents, there is no magic pill that will protect us from the pitfalls of fraud in the mortgage industry. There are also no easy answers, no guarantees that we will not be approached by those less scrupulous characters in our society intent on doing fraud.

I recently was approached by an unethical person who apparently wished to engage a Notary, ...any Notary, in an endeavor whereby the act of notarization itself made the document a fraud.

certified loan signing agent: Steer clear of fraud...and regret - 03/03/08 01:52 AM
If you choose to ask a notary to back-date or otherwise "color outside the lines" you may be engaging in a no-no yourself.
