What is a Notary Signing Agent?

A Notary Signing Agent is a Notary Public who has special expertise to conduct loan signings. The Signing Agent is hired as an independent contractor by a title, mortgage, or escrow company, a lender, or a signing service to ensure that the loan signing process is properly completed.

The Signing Agent receives the documents from a closing agent, takes them to the borrowers, conducts the signing, notarizes certain documents, and expeditiously returns the loan package for processing ("closing").

In the past, it was common for home buyers to travel to the office of an escrow agent or title company to sign the loan papers. But the picture has changed due to innovations in technology, stiff competition in the lending market, a corporate trend toward "out-sourcing," and the increasingly busy lives of consumers, who have heightened expectations for convenience and service. People buying homes (or refinancing) can now enjoy the benefits of Notary Signing Agents coming to them, at their convenience, to facilitate the loan signing process.
