A customer came into my store today to have one page document to be notarized and stated that he is a notary. however, he can not notarized his own documents. I stated that is unfortnated and we both laughed.
I asked, how long have you been a notary and he replied for about 20 years. That his profession is a real estate agent. So I asked do you do loan signing? His replied was, no. I only sign for my customers that are purchasing homes that I have listed and I only do this because it is too diffcult for my customers to find a notary.
I only notarized "You know that one page Deed of Trust" I replied, I did not know you can do that? Customer replied yes you can as long as you do not have any financial interest or conflict of interest in the property? I replied what about your commission? He stated it does not matter, my response was "It does not matter that your getting paid?" his repiled was no it does not matter. My replied was "WOW!".
He than proceeded to give me his business card and ask me to refer anyone to him that I know is looking to purchase a home and turned around and walk out the door.
All I could say is "WoW", he expects me to give him a referral for a purchase and he is not going to refer the notary signing back to me, its just one page he will do it his self. "WOW!",
