Derek's Notary Service is based in Riverside County, California.
I provide reliable, courteous and accurate mobile notary and loan signing
services to clients and borrowers. I represent clients professionally
and ethically, and my work is guaranteed to be complete and accurate.
What is a Signing Agent?
Signing Agents are notaries public who specialize in the process of obtaining
and notarizing the signatures on loan documents.
Lenders rely on the Signing Agent to complete the signing portion of the transaction
in a professional and accurate manner at a time and place convenient for the
client. Signing Agents play an important role in assisting borrowers
with proper execution of the documents.
A Signing Agent may answer "what" (give a definition) but not "why" (regarding
terms and conditions.) Signing Agents can "identify" (point out key features
and secure proper signatures), but do NOT "explain." Borrowers are referred back to the document originator.
I DO NOT "back date" documents as it is illegal to do so. I provide a confirmation call to the borrowers as soon as the appointment is scheduled and information is sent to me. I arrive to appointments on time and conduct the loan signing in a professional manner, and I verify the identity of the signers before EVERY transaction.
The Notary Signing Agent's duty is to make sure each signer is physically present, is identified appropriately, that all documents are signed and initialed, and that each signature that requires notarization is properly notarized. The Notary Signing Agent is also responsible for ensuring that the loan documents are returned to the lender.
Please Note:
I am a Notary Public, bound by the laws of the State of California. The
Notary Public/Signing Agent is not a legal representative of either the borrower or the lender and therefore cannot and will not render any legal advice, nor give any opinion of the loan or its terms during the course of the loan signing.
