I, too, have been around about as long as dirt, tho' in different areas than you, TitleGal. Wish I could explain this (even to myself)--but I can't. The only explanation I have for requiring all the little meaningless details (blue/black/both! ink--exception where State specified, of course; initial each page or don't, etc., etc., etc.) is: CUZ THEY CAN. Only other possible explanation I can think of is that somewhere way down the food chain, blue ink makes it easier for the new girl fresh out of high school/college? to determine which really is the original. As far as stiff-necked etc. NSAs... nah, I don't think so. More than likely, we just don't want to give them a reason to get upset with us. For whatever this observation is worth: I've been doing this for twelve years (yes, you read that right) and this nonsense did NOT go on until the last 5 years or so. This time frame corresponds quite neatly with the boom in this field and the increased NNA advertising that we know so well.
I know that this brought an influx of people with no background whatsoever in any related field. I've read about the yellow paper used to print docs and the pretty glitter pens used to sign. Hence, the increase in Lender instructions. Other than this, I'm back to CUZ THEY CAN. |
