Sometimes, It’s About Teamwork

 The other day, I got a call from a loan officer in a bit of a bind.

A signer claimed they did not have a critical document when I did the signing— and the file couldn’t close without it. The problem? The signer lived an hour away.

It wasn’t my error. I had done everything correctly on my end.
But still — I paused. Then I said yes, not right away of course, I had to remind myself it's all about teamwork.

🚗 I Made the Drive — Two Hours Round Trip, No Pay

Why? Because sometimes, it’s not about whose fault it is.
It’s about getting it done for the team — the client, the title rep, the lender, the escrow officer.

And honestly, I forgot about the miles once I remembered why I do this work.

🤝 It’s About Showing Up

No, I didn’t invoice for that visit.
I didn’t get a bonus.
But I did earn something more valuable: trust.

That same loan officer now knows I’m someone they can count on — even when things go sideways.

Behind the Scenes: How I Prepare for Every Notary Appointment

 To most clients, a notary just shows up with a stamp and a few pens.

But a lot goes into making sure your signing is smooth, fast, and stress-free — especially when working with sensitive documents, tight deadlines, or multiple signers.

Here’s a peek at what I do before I even knock on the door.

---

🧾 My Pre-Appointment Checklist

• Confirm the appointment time and location via text or call

• Verify the type of documents I’ll be notarizing — real estate, power of attorney, hospital forms, etc.

• Check for special instructions from the title company or client

• Double-check supplies:
  ✅ Notary journal I use Notary Act
  ✅ Blue/black pens
  ✅ ID verification tools
  ✅ Extra forms just in case

---

📦 If It’s a Loan Signing…

I go even deeper:

• I review the entire package to ensure pages are in order

• Flag signature and initial spots

• Print clean, sharp copies on correct paper sizes

• Bring shipping labels and scan-back supplies if required

I don’t just show up — I come prepared to finish the job right.

---

🤝 Why It Matters to You

• No delays

• No missed signatures

• No fumbling around

• Just a calm, confident appointment where everything gets done the first time

Kindness Counts: Why Courtesy Is a Notary’s Secret Advantage

 A lot of people think being a notary is just about getting signatures and stamps.

But anyone who’s ever sat across the table from a nervous first-time homebuyer, a grieving family, or a hospitalized signer knows — this job is personal.

Documents matter.
But how you treat people? That’s what they remember.

---

😊 What Courtesy Looks Like at Every Appointment

• I greet every signer with a smile — even if I’ve just come from three other appointments

• I introduce myself and explain the process gently

• I’m patient if the signer needs more time to read or ask questions

• I never rush, interrupt, or talk over people

• I respect every space I enter — whether it’s a living room, hospital room, or office

---

🌟 Small Gestures That Go a Long Way

• Holding the door open

• Asking “Would you like me to remove my shoes?”

• Waiting while someone grabs their ID

• Thanking the client — sincerely — for choosing me

Kindness isn’t extra. It’s part of the job.

---

🤝 Kindness = Trust

Clients may not know the difference between a deed and a note —
But they know when they’ve been respected. That’s what builds long-term relationships and referrals.

Explaining Documents Without Giving Legal Advice: What a Notary Should — and Shouldn’t — Do

 One of the most common moments of hesitation during a signing is when a client says:

“Wait… what is this document for?”

It’s a perfectly reasonable question — after all, most clients aren't familiar with forms like the 1003, Payoff Statement, or Note. But there’s a fine line between helping and overstepping.

As a notary, my role is to guide — not to advise.

---

✅ Here’s What I Can Do as Your Notary:

• Give general descriptions of common documents
  “This is your mortgage — it secures the loan to your property.”

• Help identify signature and initial lines
  “Please sign here, and initial the bottom corner.”

• Point out where dates, names, or IDs are required
  “This section just confirms your name and address.”

• Refer you to the right party for questions I can’t answer
  “That’s a great question — I recommend calling your loan officer before we continue.”

---

🚫 What I Can’t Do:

• Interpret legal terms or outcomes

• Estimate closing costs, payments, or escrow timelines

• Advise whether you should sign or cancel

• Fill out forms for you

Even if I know the answer — it’s not my place to say.

---

🤝 My Goal is Comfort, Not Confusion

I explain things clearly, stay neutral, and support your decision-making — all while ensuring the signing stays compliant and smooth.
