Interesting... but... how do they get around the fact that most counties still want to see the actual notarized paper in order to record it nor do theyt have the equipment needed for 'e-notarization'??? The article doesn't address that issue, but it's still reality.

I hope I misunderstood the article... It appeared to me to

be saying that a notary wasn't nessecary in the transaction...

"WebSigning is the first completely flexible platform to allow a consumer to close a refinance loan at their convenience. There is no need to schedule anything with anyone, nor is there any need to install cumbersome software. We expect that simplicity will make it a very desirable option to consumers who have grown accustomed to the 24/7 nature of Internet transactions."

How do they ID the signer? What about the thumbprint? Does the borrower get to witness his or her own signature?

Interesting would like more information. Guess I'll have to talk to a couple of First American contacts and see what they have to say about it....

Re: Registration is FREE

yes it is, for a listing in their directory, which I have.
However, it'll still cost me a $199.00 one yr subscription to view that article.

No it doesn't. Register for free and then you will have access to the "Free" articles. Not all articles are fee, but the one referenced is free.

So to Paraphrase...

...you're free to register for free at the fee site where not all the articles are fee but this one IS free! Fee Fi Fo Fum!

Did I get that right?

hmmm

after my fourth attempt, it finally came up. Strange that it was throwing up the 'you have to be a subscriber to view this article' box.

Re: hmmm

Which is true, you must subscribe. However the "free" subscription will allow free access to the free articles. Once registered, all that you need to do is log in to freely peruse the free articles.

But...

...there is a fee for the fee articles? We wouldn't want to pay a fee for a free article would we, Paul?

That's more than a 5 year subscription to a great magazine that has no articles at all....

For pontifications on the mortgage industry?????


Get a life.

Re: $199 ???? My point in this whole thing is...

Not that it matters....

I subscribed to the site and I advertise there. I can search the site for my state and county and find by zip code of county, every title company doing business there and then I solicit them. I have gotten some of business by doing that.

I may have just shot myself in the foot but I love reading the message boards.
