Functions of a Notary Signing Agent/NSA?

Throughout the various phases of any Real Estate transaction, a Notary Signing Agent/NSA has no involvement in the drawing or negotiations of contract-terms. And a Notary Signing Agent does not provide legal or tax advice or explain the contract terms. These are the functions handled by the Attorney. A Notary Public is not an Attorney. And, although an attorney can also function as a notary-public. There are several reasons one would want to hire an independent neutral-third-party for the 'loan signing' event. Primarily to keep checks and balances by having each stakeholder operate withing their regularly conducted activities. And, because the culmination of the transaction involves getting the signing right--which is the major-function of a Notary Signing Agent. 

A Notary Signing Agent/NSA is a vetted-public-servant who has completed the specific-training and certification specialized for guiding 'You' the client through a 'Loan-package' which can be upwards of 150 pages. NSA's may communicate with the escrow, title, and lender's agents when required. Additionally, a NSA can be contracted by the You the buyer, the sellor, either attorney/real estate agent, an escrow agent, title company, or the financial institution. Yet, their fiduciary responsibility is to the client contracting for the notarial-services. Notary Signing Agents/NSA's provide verification of the signer's-identity, the signer's awareness and free-will, and capacity--that they are who they say they are and have the authority or the right to sign in such capacity.                  

Glancing through 150 pages of legal-jargon can be overwhelming, particularly when taking place in an environment outside of your control and when time is of the essence.  When You choose Juratorious Consulting Services to help secure Your loan, you work with public-servants who are neutral-third-parties, proficient and accurate in their duties, who operate in a fiduciary-capacity on Your behalf, and who foster clarity and calmness during this critical-transaction. You choose the space. Be it in the comfort of Your own home or office, etc., and at a convenient-time around your family and work schedule. Inclusive of a clarification of each document's purpose (documents crucial for funding Your loan), the notary's priority is to: insure the accuracy of the executions on the loan-package with proper-signatures, initials and dates; take oaths/affirmations; journalize the transaction; protect your private-personal-information; and courier/mail the loan-package to your escrow, or title company, or your lender and helps "bring Your Loan Funding to Fruition!"
