About a third of my interactions after accepting a signing is E-mail and phone Communication.
The correspondence below is just One that is sent to All. Many have verbally expressed their appreciation for my thoroughness. They know exactly what it means to work with a professional. Not perfect, by any means.
Dear Signer(s):
During this unusual time, our notary public is eager to update you on precautions being taken, as well as conditions affecting your remote closing. Signers are being asked to confirm specific health situations and to wear protective masks while in the presence of the notary witness. Also, clients are encouraged to sign out of doors (garage or deck/porch/patio) if at all possible during the pandemic.
Additionally, your Notary may have specific instructions to follow for the safety of all. Please do not hesitate to inform your notary of any concerns.
Please place ID in a closed Ziploc or comparable plastic bag. Review Closing Statement IN ADVANCE of your signing and contact Loan Officer or Title Agent with questions. Inform closing agent of income or employment status changes caused by the pandemic.
We want you to know that we are remaining vigilant and are actively adhering to guidelines supported by our industry while working to ensure a smooth and safe transaction for signers.
May you and yours remain well.
