Mr. Hugh makes much sense. I was commissioned 2 full years before I did anything notary-related. I didn't know where to begin!! And I knew quite a bit already about the lending biz, lingo, docs,etc. and had purchased 2 homes . . .
Until I found a veteran notary in Virginia to train me on the basics/essentials, I wasn't willing to risk failure and the sabotage of a new career due to ignorance. Was I nervous my very 1st signing? YOU BET! Do I still get nervous after a year? YEP!
I imagine it will keep me humble (: And so will doing a few "charity" cases from time to time (I know, the veterans just choked down their dinner). That shouldn't be the norm, mind you. We have to eat, too.
p.s. Newbies, get yourself a good mortgage glossary (plenty online) and carry it with you |
