Get To Know Your Signing Agent                              

I am new to ActiveRain, but here is what I have learned from reading what others have to say on here and from the way this community is set up.  It's all about networking and creating an atmosphere to share knowledge and experiences in the RE World.  Kudos to the creators and caretakers of this community, they have done an exceptional job on this website.  What a place to thrive in the business and connect with everyone who has a role in the RE Industry.  I cannot express enough the positive energy that exists here.  That already has been acknowledged by me with all the wonderful responses I received on "My First Blog"

So why the title to this blog I suppose you may be asking?  Up until I found ActiveRain, in my experiences, there was little communication between the RE Agent, the Loan Officer, the Mortgage Broker and the Signing Agent.  Maybe the occasional phone call from me to let them know the closing was completed.  Unless we are called directly by the RE Agent, Loan Officer, or Mortgage Broker, for the most part we (Signing Agents) do not talk to the actual person or entity that in all reality is the originator of our services being requested.  There is multiple individuals in-between, which is the way this business operates for the most part.

My questions to you are:

• Do you want to know who is sitting with your clients and representing you? 
• Do you want to know if that person is professional? 
• How about the Signing Agents personality?  This isn't a profession for someone who cannot hold their composure in the event a borrower is less than happy that day or who gets flustered because the borrower may be nervous themselves about signing their loan documents.  Staying professional is crucial to everyone involved in a said RE transaction. 
• How about their dedication to the profession?  It's no secret that someone who is dedicated to their profession will create a very positive atmosphere in their surroundings.  Thus creating a positive atmosphere with your clients.

I feel ActiveRain is the perfect community for RE Agents, Loan Officers, and Mortgage Brokers to "Get To Know Your Signing Agent".  It is a door of opportunity to get some one on one communication with Signing Agents that maybe before it didn't exist.  It may be a great opportunity to ask those questions that you had before but had no resources to ask or no where to ask them.

So I invite and encourage all members of ActiveRain especially, RE Agents, Loan Officers, and Mortgage Brokers to visit the Notary Groups and Blogs, read them and post to them if you feel so inclined.  Ask us questions about what we do.  There are quite a few of us who have had some very interesting experiences in this field and quite a few of us who are very serious about being a Signing Agent.

And if you have the opportunity, call your Signing Agent that has handled your clients In-Home Closing.  I think you will find a lot of us have the same dedication to our profession that you do to yours.   If you know of a Signing Agent in your community, invite them to have coffee.  You might just make a friend in the business that will enhance your efforts with your clients.

There is a lot of credit to be given on ActiveRain to the Notary/Signing Agents who are already members.  Their postings and blogs are a wealth of information.  Please visit them and let them know what a credit they are to the RE Industry.

Thank you for reading my blog and have a great day!!
