Many of the previous premier notaries have now left the notary closing field for full time jobs outside of the real estate market. This has now left a huge void to fill, which also means a huge opportunity for new notaries.
The APAT Real Estate Settlement Services Team, http://www.apatsettlementservices.com,
is consistently changing with this market. Making the necessary adjustments has been critical to guarantee we provide the best Notary Signing Agents to handle your closings. We realized when the majority of notaries experienced in mortgage closings took a leave of absence and left the field with many inexperienced notaries, we needed to step in and ensure we are providing quality, educated Notary Signing Agents to our clients.
That is exactly what we did and continue to do. We also go a step above by offering Mobile Notary Services, so we take even more stress off of our clients. Our Certified Notary Agents are not only savvy in the mortgage industry, they will come to you!
As a rule of thumb, there are a few questions you, as a lender, should be asking the notaries you have closing your clients and borrowers. We have provided a guide for you here:
1. How long have you been a Notary?
2. Are you a Certified Signing Agent?
3. When are you available for signings?
4. What type of loans are you familiar with closing? (ie. reverse, HELOC, purchase, etc.)
5. Have you ever worked in the Real Estate/ Mortgage industry?
6. If so, where and job description?
7. What certifications have you completed?
8. What type of office equipment do you have? (ie. computer, printer, mobile capabilities, smart phones, etc.)
You may feel like this is a lot of research that you simply don’t have the time for. That is where we come in. Contact APAT Real Estate Settlement Services and we can ensure you have a Certified APAT Signing Agent available to complete your mortgage closing. We guarantee it!
