"Perhaps that's why many companies are now requiring their closers to be certified."
My thought, as well, sadly. I also agree with whomever said that something about the original post just doesn't add up. Either this person is part of the problem, or part of a signing service paying low fees. Ironically, I have tended to agree that the certifications have been pretty meaningless, but then I didn't realize how low the bar could be set. The problem is that the current "certifications" that exist don't really prove much, either. My recommendation is for hiring parties to look for more than a certification if they want someone who is more than a point-and-sign notary.
The idea that a person can be trained to properly do a loan signing in one hour may be a common misperception about what we do. It may also be behind the desire for many to keep signings inside tc offices and/or to have them done by attorneys! |
