Mobile notary service: What's a working person to do?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Mobile Notary Services

closedThe people I met yesterday had a dilema. They had title documents that needed to be notarized.  Both the husband and the wife work, so it was impossible for them to appear before a notary at the same time until each had gotten off of work.

 

I was watching the Democratic National Convention when I got the call.  It was around 5 PM.  The husband asked me how late I'm open.  I told him that I'm on call 24 hours a day, and that I'm a mobile notary.  All the better. That was exactly what he needed -- a notary who was flexible, and who could come to their home.

I was just about to eat dinner when he called. But I agreed to come to his home as soon as possible.  We set the appointment for 6 PM.  Dinner would have to wait.

There were only three documents that needed to be notarized.  The signers were extremely grateful that I was able to come to their home to do it, because they couldn't imagine where they would find a notary who was available at 6 PM.

As I was writing the receipt for notary service, the wife was explaining how difficult it would have been if there was no such thing as a mobile notary.  She asked:

'What's a working person to do?'

That's why there is such a thing as a mobile notary.

I just had a similar experience where I needed a few documents notarized and just did not have the time to run out and do it. Called a mobile notary to the office, he prepared everything and called me in for signing took 5 minutes and a day was saved

This is our Notary business: most calls are last minute.  I am 24/7 as Leon is and with that said I am going to get last minute calls.

I have gotten several calls recently where individuals were looking for a 24/7 notary. They are using google.

Most of my calls are from a very small county in TN where most notaries will only notarize for customers of the biz where they work-bank, car lot, etc.

I also am 24/7-been in that situation in the past where I had no bank account so no bank would notarize something for me, and really needed a notary.
