I rarely get a call to do a signing on a Saturday evening, but I had one yesterday. It was a RESPA signing out in Fountain, Colorado.
Usually the signing agent who does the RESPA signing gets the call to do the closing. For the most part, it's a good idea. I learned a lot of things from that signing that will help me if I do the closing -- sort of like getting 'previews of coming attractions' at the movies.
The most obvious is that I will know where the borrowers live and how to get to their home. And I'll be sure to have my digital camera. I had to use it last night because the copies they made of their IDs came out too dark.
But there are some other things that I learned that I will keep in mind. The husband was the type who just wanted to sign everything and get it over with. His wife was just the opposite. She was very cautious. She wanted to read everything. It's her right.
For the closing I'll know to allot a bit more time than normal. It could take a while. And I won't book any closings too close to that one.
And one other thing. I had to remove my shoes. So I'll remember to wear a pair of shoes that are easy to take off.
