I was introduced to Notary Signing by a former escrow officer who now works as and calls herself a "transaction coordinator". She handles processing and alot more for private lenders. "Just remember" she said "you're just a #%&$@* notary! You know less than nothing. If a borrower asks you anything about why this figure is what it is, you say: I'm just a #$&%* notary". I suppose the lesson was a good one, although I never quite approached a borrower in the method described. What I did learn was not to comment about the specifics of their deal and to refer them to their broker/lender for answers about specifics. Both are good lessons.
I believe that one job of a Notary Signing Agent is to give the borrower some peace of mind. While working as an NSA I have seen thousands of document sets. The average borrower sees only a few (or one) in their lifetime. They are understandably nervous or cautious, and sometimes feel overwhelmed. The purchase, re-finance or addition of a home equity line of credit represent the biggest financial decisions a person makes in their lifetime. While it is true that I am not qualified to answer about specific terms and conditions of a particular deal, I can assist the borrower by pointing out where the relative language is in their document set. Because this process is now second-nature, most signings go very smoothly and borrowers emerge feeling more comfortable than they might have otherwise.
I came into this career as a former service industry professional. My perspective comes from 25 years of providing fast, friendly service in the restaurant business as a middle-manager. While some escrow personnel may still dismiss me as being just another #$&%*$ notary, I won't give them the satisfaction of living down to their expectations of my chosen profession. I provide a professional, courteous loan signing experience for each signer and make every effort to be more than..."just another #%$*&@ notary"
