I have been doing outdoor closings since the pandemic hit. Outdoors; in garages; on patios, decks, and balconies; poolside, lakeside, and curbside. Not sure what my options are at this point. COVID numbers are high here and we are getting a lot of patients from Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Dakotas being transported to our hospitals. I am hearing from the medical community that our ICU beds are filling up.
We had nine inches of snow here last week and the temperatures have dropped to mid teens. I had seven closings yesterday and it was difficult getting through all of them and trying to stay warm. I am learning that ink pens do not work well in this cold weather. I am not sure I am ready to go back into borrowers' homes yet, and I am not sure they are ready to have anyone in their homes.
To all my cold weather notaries out there . . . how are you conducting your closings and still keeping yourself and your borrowers safe? |
