Why First Choice?

I represent clients professionally and ethically, and my work is guaranteed to be complete and accurate.  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.

I provide a confirmation call to the borrowers as soon as the appointment is scheduled and information is sent to me.

I have been a Notary Signing Agent for over five years and have conducted over 500 loan signings as well as numerous trust signings. 

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. 

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.

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.
