Read the message board!

Don't bother us! All the information you need is here. Just hit the orange search button and read. If you're too lazy to read you don't belong in this business.

Sorry, wrong key. Please, anonymous, don't refer to "us" when posting. Your lack of compassion and manners does not describe "us."

Won't include you in the "us" as requested. But if I was wrong, why didn't provide the original poster with the information requested.

Maybe the original question is wrong...

Good point about going to a Signing Service board, but if this is a new person what he or she really wants to know is how to start as a signing agent and is phrasing the question incorrectly which could be why the Anon was so annoyed when he or she posted their response about searching.

Anon,
You seem angry and if you intend to be rude to anyone who asks a question, here's one for you: Why do you use Anonymous, are you afraid to identify yourself?

Re: Read the message board!

I'm a new agent and I'm new to this website, so I thought this was the place to reach out to my fellow colleagues for direction! To answer your question; you are one of the reasons I am in this business. Simply judging from your asinine reply, it is safe to assume the type of person you are, and the type of professional you are not!!

Re: Read the message board!

My original message was not directed to the first anon (the original poster of the message asking for help) it was directed to the second anon (the second person posting that stated new people do not have a right to be here or ask for help). This is a forum, the purpose of a forum is to discuss topics or ask questions. What gives you the right to tell somebody to leave everyone alone and that they should not be here. What should not be here is your attitude, you could always take that somewhere else.

Brenda/CA your disposition was truly appreciated! I am the first anon that was asking for assistance. Just to keep things clear, I am not using anonymous any longer. I don't want to be confused with the unprofessional! Thanks Brenda/CA

Christofer,
This is a forum and you have the right to make a post if you want to give information, or ask a question. The second anon was being rude, if he did not want to help then he should not have answered. If the question you were asking was starting as a signing agent then you can click on the blue tab above that says signing services, there you will find a list of agencies you can sign up with. You can also use your internets search engine to look for signing services, mortgage companies, title companies, etc. Print some lists and visit their websites, most of the sites will have a notary sign-up section, if they do not you can search for their address and nail them an introduction letter to introduce yourself. I was new a new certified notary signing agent six months ago, and thank goodness everybody that responed to my questions were nice. I have since listed with numerous companies, and completed quite a bit of signings. I wish you the best of luck.

Re: Read the message board! I'm tired of this answer!

Good one! I am so sick of this bickering from the so called "oldies" who have no patience, no manners, yes offer good advice at times, but spend far too much time blasting people and thinking they are funny. There are new people to this forum everyday and quite honestly, if they ask a legitimate question, they deserve a legitimate answer. If you have no answer, don't respond. There is no reason just to blast a person and call them names and insult them for asking something any new person asks.

I am tired of skimming through posts hoping to find a decent answer when one after another is a stab at someone. ANd no, don't tell me just don't have to read it. I keep hoping that one of the posts I go into will have a decent answer. I should know by now that the lengthy numerous posts seem to be the ones that people type horrible insults I guess for the sake of just wanting to poke fun and not offer any advice, experience or the like. But I still cannot figure out what they get out of doing just that. Do you treat your family, friends, clients the same rude way? How many times have you been asked by a client the same question asked by numerous other clients. Do you respond the same way and blast them!?
