Signing agents ensure mortgage loan documents are signed and notarized, providing a convenience service by bringing documents and checks to borrowers, even for long-distance travel. They specialize in mortgage loan documents and may be responsible for long-distance travel. Signing agents are not qualified to provide legal or financial advice. They are usually certified public notaries and may require certification and training.
A signing agent ensures that all refinancing and mortgage loan documents are signed and notarized. These professionals provide a convenience service by bringing loan documents and settlement checks to borrowers even when long distance travel is required. Signing agents can also help answer questions a borrower might have about loan documents and applications.
A notary signing agent is commonly referred to as a notary signing agent or even a mortgage notary signing agent. This is because these agents specialize in mortgage loan documents and are usually public notaries. Lawyers, real estate agents and buyers are left with the responsibility of presenting a contract acceptable to each party, and signing agents are responsible for ensuring that all documents are signed and notarized as required.
Undersigned agents play a critical role in financing or refinancing mortgage loans. They serve as one of the final pieces of the puzzle to complete and submit documentation for funding. Loan and refinance applications with missing or missing signatures will cause a rejected application.
Another important function of an underwriting agent is to close a mortgage loan as conveniently as possible for all parties. Signing agents will take loan documents and settlement checks to any location that is most convenient for borrowers, including your home. This service is valuable to borrowers, saving them time traveling to the realtor’s office. It is also valuable for the real estate agent, attracting borrowers with the benefit of bringing documents to them without having to take the time to travel.
A signing agent may be responsible for the long-distance travel to get all the subscriptions. It is not uncommon for mortgage agreements to be established in distant locations. If the attorneys and real estate agents are in New York but the buyer is in California, the agent will need to travel to California with the loan documents for signature. During the trip, the agent acts as a representative of the real estate agent, offering professional and competent guidance to the party or parties who sign.
Signing agents are qualified to answer some questions about loan documents. They are trained to understand the purpose and requirements of each type of loan document presented. Signing agents, however, are not qualified to provide legal or financial advice other than to assist in signing documentation.
Signing agents do not have to be certified public notaries, but they usually are. While this is not legally required, many real estate companies require certification and training from their corner agents. An exam is often required to test knowledge of proper loan document signing procedures as well as notary public laws. Loan signing procedures and notary laws vary by region.
