| You're not seeing the whole picture. There's a whole lot more involved in a r.e. closing than signing/notarizing the Deed and it would be a real annoyance to all parties involved to stop in the middle and send the Seller off somewhere to have their signature/s notarized. As far as I know, no state says that a R.E. Broker can't notarized a Deed even tho' s/he is receiving a commission. If there is a state where this is prohibited, please educate me! Only exception would be if the Broker is also the Buyer... and, of course, if s/he were the Seller, s/he can't notarize his/her own signature. |
