If A Client Can't Get To Title To Sign..Perhaps A Mobile Notary Will Work!

Just the other day, for the first time in my nine years of being a real estate agent in Portland, I watched as my clients signed the loan documents at their kitchen table using a mobile notary sent from the Title company. To say I wasn't a bit nervous that something would go amiss..a document not get signed correctly, or worse, that the documents needed correcting and my clients printer was already packed up had me wondering how this would work.

My clients needed to sign, but yet both of their work schedules were just very tight and they couldn't make it happen. The Title company..in this case WFG Title in Lake Oswego made the suggestion that they send out a Notary in the evening for a small fee. They jumped on it and at 8:30 that evening, a very professional Notary name Marianne arrived.

We sat around the table where she discussed in detail every document my first time homebuyer clients were signing. One of the things I love about most Escrow officers are their calmness in going over the procedure and documents. That they can read and explain things upside down is also pretty impressive. Marianne took her time and at 10 PM we were wrapping things up.

Ok..so she did say that those late hours were not typical for her, but we were so thankful that she went over and above so my clients could fund and close their home on time. Needless to say, we were all very impressed! Sometimes we need those extra services that the Title companies and folks like Marianne provide to help facilitate a buyer or seller.Of course I still prefer to sign at the Title company but.....

If a client can't get to Title to sign..perhaps a mobile notory will work! It did for mine!
