What is the function of preferred notaries?
Settlement Agents who close deals on real estate transactions including, title companies, attorneys and escrow companies often require mobile notaries to witness the signatures on loan agreements. Lenders, Builders and Estate Agents need good notaries as well.
This small, but critical component of the real estate deal called the “loan document signing” is an art form commonly dismissed as a clerical formality.
When documents need to be accurately signed a great distance away and returned by the next day, time is of the essence and the deal is could be on the line. Customers of specialist notaries depend on them to uphold their reputations as closing professionals by representing them at this stage of the process.
It is most important, therefore, to use only those notaries that will protect the reputations of the client and the company.
Beyond the basic notarisation ability, what do you look for in a notary to satisfy the signing needs of the customers?
The role of the Preferred Notary is known well by those who practice it, who feel comfortable with its importance. They must be able to convey to the borrower that they are a neutral party, hired by an agency. The signing agent, or notary, has the task of identifying the borrowers correctly and making sure that the execution of the loan documents proceeds without a problem.
The Preferred Notary has learned not to play the role of the Estate Agent, Lender, Closer (Settlement Agent), Attorney, Title Insurer, Seller, or any other party to the transaction. They defer to the expertise of the other professionals when borrowers ask about the terms, effects, financial and legal implications of the documents they are signing. More often than not, the other professional is available to satisfy the borrower’s needs.
If you are searching for a reliable practitioner within the trade, I would recommend searching in the telephone book under notaries, or ‘solicitors Crawley‘ and choosing Bennett Griffin.
