3. Set the stage for excellence
Steps to Improve Every Meeting! Let’s take all necessary measures to ensure the ideal signing scenario and strengthen the protection of your transaction!
Create the Perfect Signing Space: A lot of table space and a relaxed atmosphere help ensure that nothing gets messy or missed. Signing a hundred pages between three people in a rush on a TV tray can get tricky!
The Golden Rule: It’s important for us to do great work for you, and we’re all on the same team with the same mission. We want to see your transaction fulfilled. When we work together, both signers and notaries are empowered to give their best energy and produce excellent work.
Our Mistakes: Despite our preparations, every transaction is unique, and mistakes can happen. If an initial or signature is missed, we’ll come back to fix it at no additional cost. Thank you for your understanding!
4. Let's catch any processing errors before we even begin
Congratulations on making it this far! We appreciate your thoughtful attention.
It’s common for us to find crucial details that are incorrect within documents at the signing table. Now is a great time to check for any typos in your document. If you catch these items now, you’ll have full confidence in your paperwork when we meet.
Common typographical errors to watch for include:
Is everyone’s name spelled correctly in the document and beneath the signature lines?
Are other important identifying information, such as the property address and terms, correct?
There are also common document conditions for processing to keep in mind. For example, “sign your signature exactly as your name appears on the document” is common for deeds and loan documents. Be prepared for unique signing conditions like these at the appointment. This is often a hard condition set by your bank or county recorder for the processing of your transaction.
Check with your receiving agency to learn about any specific details they’re looking for when processing your documents. We’ll also be mindful and do our best to assist you.
