🏡 Realtors, Homebuyers & Title Companies — Did You Know You Can REQUEST a Notary?
I recently had a coffee date with one of my favorite Realtor friends ☕️, and she asked me something that I think MANY people probably wonder:
“Since I use a title company for everything, how can I use YOU as my notary?”
And honestly… this is something more people need to know. 👏
When it comes to a real estate closing, many people don’t realize that they can request a notary they know and trust to handle their signing.
Your title company may coordinate the closing and your lender may have their own requirements, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t request a specific notary.
👉 Realtors: If you have a client who prefers a familiar, professional notary, ask the title company if your preferred notary can be assigned to the signing.
👉 Homebuyers & Sellers: If you have a notary you trust, you can ask whether they can handle your closing. It never hurts to ask!
👉 Title Companies: If you have a reliable local notary or signing agent you’ve worked with and trust, don’t be afraid to add them to your preferred vendor network.
And here’s the important part:
The title company, lender, or closing party still has to approve the notary assignment based on their requirements. But YOU can absolutely communicate your preference and make the request.
You have more say in this process than you may realize. ❤️
This is one of the reasons I love educating my Realtor, lender, title, attorney, and client connections about what I actually do.
I’m not here to replace your title company.
I’m not here to replace your closing team.
I’m here to be the professional notary you know, trust, and can request when the opportunity allows. ✍️🏡
So the next time someone says:
“I didn’t know I could request my own notary!”
…Now you do. 😉
