Mark Wills explains why loan signing agents should never highlight documents: lenders reject them outright, forcing re-signings and damaging your reputation. Use sticky labels marked "sign here" or "initial here" instead.

Hi Mark here with the loan signing system. Back with my quick notary signing agent tip of the week. And today's tip of the week is don't ever use a highlighter on any of your loan documents ever. There are some notary public loan signing agents out there, especially beginning signing agents who are a little bit nervous about missing a signature, missing a date, missing initial, which is normal. But you can't highlight where the borrower supposed to sign. There is not one lender who is okay with the documents being highlighted. So if you highlight the loan documents, you have the borrower sign them, they get sent back to the lender, the lender is going to kick it right back out and you have to go out and resign it. Which is not a good look if you're trying to gain business or credibility with a signing service or an escrow company. So if you're scared that you might miss an initial, a date or signature which is okay and normal, then what you should do is start using sign here stickies or initial here stickies and use those in place of a highlighted on the loan documents. And if you want to save a few bucks it's okay to use a good old fashioned post it notes to place where the borrower check signed date initial.
