Re: Obtaining Business...first most obvious problem....

SPELLCHECK..."Clsoing Agent"...since you have not given us any information regarding you (i.e. a link to your profile)...I am unable to give you any more constructive criticism. If you wish to pm me offline with your profile or a copy of your information package, I would be happy to have a go at it. Please see my profile for pm or my private email address. Also check the "find a notary" button at top left of page and see your competition.

Re: Obtaining Business...first most obvious problem....

In the meantime, go to Signing Central and sign up with as many of those companies as you can (when I first started I stuck to the 3-5 star companies) and read this board thoroughly...you'll find many leads, tips, ideas, etc., etc.

Re: BTW, how long have you been a signing agent?

and listed on NR - because I got very positive results from this website.

And just how many do you mean when..

you say you sent out "numerous" resumes. Sending out 200-300 is what works.

Besides that, it's just generally slow right now even for the seasoned loan signers.

Good luck!

Re: Obtaining Business...Nancy....

It is everywhere, you are not alone. Unless you have been in this business for a while and built up your clients, you have started at the wrong time in VA Beach.

You have to market yourself, phone calls, newsletters, e-mails, etc. etc. Don't wait for them to call.
