"My Sister-in-law will be there to supervise..."

This is going to be fun.

Borrower that I'm going to see tonight told me that her SIL, who is a RE broker and a notary, was going to be at our appointment to "supervise" to make sure I notarize everything properly. It's true... the SIL is both. I checked.

I've had RE agents pop in briefly on loan signings for purchases, especially for first-time buyers. But this is a refi.

I'm going to have to play nice, aren't I?

I'm betting she's going to tell you three things that are incorrect or illegal...I can't wait. You can even text me from the signing if they need to talk to "your Supervisor" . ROFLMAO

You have to post and let us know how your "Supervisor" handled the whole thing.

I know you're as curious as a cat to see WHO it is??

Maybe a member on this forum??

Nope, not as far as I can tell. This individual does not have much of an online presence. However, I do know *of* her brokerage. I've seen her signs, especially in a particular area. She is well known in this specific area.

I'm not worried. I just found it really funny. It made me laugh.

If she was a member of this forum, I'd hope she'd know better than to try to supervise Marian! In fact, if she had any sense, she'd want to be there to see if she could learn something!

Have fun, Marian!

I remember a signing I did for a single woman who fit the same description as the sister-in-law. She grabbed the docs out of my hands and wanted to just sign away. These docs happened to be a little different from the standard package - and I did have her copies - so I let her cut her own throat. When she was done, I started checking and calmly had her re-sign about a dozen pages. I just smiled at her as I pointed out all her mistakes. She didn't say a word after that. Sometimes revenge can be sweet...

Just tell her that YOUR supervisor is the CA SOS, but that

she is free to watch over your shoulder.

At least you have advance warning!

I remember my own closing, the lady came to our house and she looked like Aunt Clara from Bewitched with a briefcase on wheels and my husband and I wondered what in the heck she had in there, but it was the height of equity loan season and I had to fly out and go close my own loans. My husband begged me not to tell her what I did for a living as she was older and he didn't want me to make her nervous. So she gets pens and the docs out and her stamp and then pick up the first doc, I think a title doc and begins to read it out loud! That was enough for me and I told her this would be her quickest closing ever and I told her I was a closer (this lady was just a notary) and I took the docs and signed and passed to my husband (and he was grateful as he didn't want her to read them to us) and he passed them to her to sign. What a hoot that was.

It's sometimes hard to grit your teeth & play nice. I did a

refi loan signing for a RE agent the other week. You know the "I know it all" type. She called just yesterday to ask why her loan hadn't been paid off. I gave her the tc's phone no. I just knew she was going to be a royal PIA! LOL

Your comment reminded me of an article that was in this Sunday's paper.

Why am I not surprised that it's BofA who's claiming they weren't paid off - bet they were and they just don't know it..

You should always "play nice" when training your competition. LOL

I would make it clear upfront that I did not need a supervisor as i work for myself and apparently the TC feels I know what I am doing.

No problem with the SIL being there, but she would not tell me how to do my job.

I am assuming the BO is mis-using the word "supervise" and the SIL is going to be there to explain things to them you can not and to give her family members some experienced family advise.
