What is a Signing Agent?
Signing agents are notaries who have experience and/or training concerning the proper execution of loan documents and are hired by mortgage companies, escrow companies, title companies, and signing services to identify loan documents, obtain the necessary signatures, and in some cases deliver the documents to the borrower. A signing agent is an impartial party to the transaction, and must adhere to the notary laws of their state or jurisdiction.
Can Someone Be Both a Real Estate Agent and a Notary?
Yes, a real estate agent can also be a notary signing agent. They must hold the state-required notary license and real estate license, and they have no financial interest in the specific deal they are notarizing. Being a notary signing agent is an excellent complement to the real estate sales profession as they are so comfortable with the forms, rules and regulations.
From Val: "As a Real Estate Agent, Notary & NSA, I confidently perform all roles without conflict. I continually educate, retain my required state licensing, and have no financial interest in any of the specified documents that I have notarized."
Can My Signing Agent Give Me Legal Advice While Going Through My Documents to Sign?
Your Notary Signing Agent may only identify and provide a general description of a loan or payment amount, interest rate, annual percentage rate, finance charge, payment schedule, assumption option, prepayment penalty or any other loan term to a borrower in the closing documents.
A signing agent may not explain, interpret or provide legal advice about the loan terms.
