Confirm all you want - it is meaningless unless tied to a photograph. I might wish it were different, but to me it's math, it is what it is. If the intent is to PROVE absolutely that "Renee Kovacs" is all that she says she is, what good does that do if nobody can confirm that the person who provides the service IS, in fact, Renee Kovacs?
You can have a person confirm, live and in person, that I am Renee Kovacs. Then, you can confirm that Renee actually is a notary, has the E&O she claims to have, etc. You can take all that data and put it on a website where it can't be frauded or compromised. Do this 40,000 times and you have one glorious database of 'vetted' NAMES.
LACKING a photograph on that site & linked to those vetted names - you have gained not one single thing.
Renee Kovacs - the NAME - can be selected based on that vetted info, hired, and toss the signing to Joe Blow to perform. THIS goes on all day long (NOT by me, either!). This is EXACTLY how SS's begin, and how many market themselves (the 'hybrid' of the industry). They plump out the databases on every major listing site - and I have a real issue with that, as I consider it to be a major misrepresentation.
If each NAME must have a photograph - you're correct that many borrowers aren't going to look, but it does put another hurdle in place if you're misrepresenting yourself. It also makes it VERY easy to confirm.
Just my opinion =) |
