There were 2 borrowers on the file Most documents required both signatures But the notary noticed that the Owner/Seller Affidavit only had: •⁠ ⁠One borrower’s name •⁠ ⁠One signature line Instead of ignoring it, the notary messaged us before the signing. Since it was so early in the morning, title wasn’t available yet, so we made a judgment call: 👉 Print the document twice 👉 Execute one as-is 👉 Add a signature line on the second copy for the other borrower Later, when title responded, the signing was already completed… And they were VERY happy the notary caught it and went the extra mile! This is the kind of attention to detail that makes title companies trust notaries more and more. Not just signing documents blindly, but actually paying attention 👏

We had a signing originally set for 10 AM But the notary confirmed it with the signers for 4:30 PM instead Later, the realtor complained to title saying: “The notary changed the time for her own convenience” The notary’s explanation? "The signers’ witness was only available at 4:30 PM” The real problem? ❌ The time was changed without checking with us first Even with a valid reason, changes like this need approval because title, realtor, and all parties may already be coordinating around the original time. 👉 Have you ever had a signer ask to change the time after the appointment was already confirmed? How did you handle it?
