This Notary wrote up a Trust, but used the wrong apartment number, the wrong banking information and didn’t return calls.

Another Notary disappeared from communication and used the excuse that her power went out.

A Notary was assigned a job. 10 minutes before the appointment she texted to say she would be “a little late.” Two hours later she showed up. That is more than a little late. The Notary replied that she apologizes, but unfortunately some personal matters prevented her from showing up.

A Notary with low placement — didn’t provide scanbacks, only shipped back half the package and then threatened the clients with emails and threats because she didn’t get paid…. COMMENTARY — good God!

The error. A Notary made a small mistake and promised to fix it but didn’t after handling two refinances. Then she shipped the package to the wrong mortgage company. Then, she became unresponsive. The other Mortgage company was fast getting the documents back so all was not lost.

A notary rushed the borrowers through the signing and then admitted that he was double booked. Then the notary responded saying that he has no response for racist people. COMMENTARY – I’ve heard of playing the race card, but the Notarial race card? That’s new even for me.

A Notary forgot to scan a package and the docs got back after four days. The responses was, “Sorry, my dad got sick.”

One Notary committed fraud by forgina seller’s signature on a document. COMMENTARY – I should make a test question out of this one.

Q. Should you commit fraud by forging a seller’s signature on a document?
(a) Yes
(b) No
(c) Hell no, that’s illegal

A Notary canceled a signing at the last minute. Her husband texted the company to tell them it was because the price was too low. COMMENTARY – you are not required by law to accept, but once you accept you can’t back out unless they change the terms on you (which happens.)

The Notary was to notarize Jane only on page 1. The notary notarized both Jane and Fred, and on the wrong page, not page 1 which nullified the documents. COMMENTARY – if you get weird instructions in writing, follow them. You can call to confirm the weird instructions, but it is in writing so no misundrestandings should happen.

I wrote another few posts about bad reviews and excuses that Notaries made. Now here are some of the best recent good reviews!

Melissa is absolutely amazing and very professional. She saved my closing from falling apart. She picked up on the first ring and took a closing 2 hours before signing. I highly recommend her and will working with her every chance I can! Thank you again Melissa!

I met Laurel and my client in Las Vegas to sign some very important financial documents. She was most professional, on time, great communication and made me look good in front of my important client. I would highly recommend Laurel and will be utilizing her services again in the near future. Thank you very much Laurel. You are the best!

Barbara was courteous prompt and extremely knowledgeable on our settlement!! I had further questions a few weeks later and I called Barbara. She not only answered my questions but went above & beyond to find me the phone numbers I needed!

Christine was amazing! We needed some medical paperwork notarized for my father and she was able to provide witnesses and notarize documents within a couple of hours. She was kind, considerate, and compassionate about my father, yet efficient and professional. I would highly recommend.

Brian is a very kind person. Also easy and fast to work with. He wore his mask and gloves at all times he even let me put Lysol under his shoes before he came in the house. He is such an amazing notary very good to work with!

I just wanted to advocate for Elizabeth because she really shined when we needed a notary last minute, she gladly stepped in made time for us despite her full schedule. She was professional, very COVID conscious and her warm disposition makes her a pleasure to work with. We met our deadline despite our poor planning thanks to her and will be our first choice in the future, thanks again!

Barbara did an incredible job for me! I live in CA and my 91 year old aunt lives in FL. I called Barbara at 9pm her time and she drove an hour and a half each way the next morning to get a Power of Attorney notarized. Her follow-up was impeccable for a couple of additional calls. I highly recommend her as a professional, can-do person! Thank you, Barbara!

Elizabeth contacted me before our signing time and advised me that the documents had not yet been received. She assured me, however, that as soon as she got them she would be in route to my house. She arrived in a timely manner after getting the docs. I understood it wasn’t her fault she was running a few minutes behind. She looked and acted very professional, had a great smile, and was very nice. We got the documents signed in a matter of no time and she was on to her next signing. I recommend Elizabeth for all of your signing needs. Thanks again ma’am.
