This book right here is Sign and Thrive by Bill Soroka, and the headline here reads, How to Make 6 Figures as a Mobile Notary and Loan Signing Agent. So what is a notary? What is a loan signing agent? Of course, Bill talks about everything in here. The brief synopsis, if you will: a notary, somebody trusted to oversee the signature of documents. In this particular case, we're talking about loan signing agents in the mortgage industry. So the reason Nick actually asked me to do this review: I am a mortgage loan originator, so I work in residential mortgages through purchases or refinances. All of those closings, of course, require a mobile notary loan signing agent, somebody to oversee the documents, provide their seal of approval, if you will, verify that all identities are accurate. Nothing fraudulent is happening. The life of a mobile notary loan signing agent is an interesting one. And truly you can have a flexible schedule. You can make an unlimited income and it is a truly legitimate work opportunity. It's a, it's a legitimate job. It's something that's been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years, a notary.

He does a great job of sharing valuable steps and action items along the way, things that you have to make sure that you are doing if you want to build a legitimate long-term business that is flexible around your schedule with unlimited income potential. So there are 5 steps outlined in this book, and I'll walk you through a couple of— well, I'll walk you through all 5 of those. First one, of course, become a notary public. Each state will have unique requirements, so it is up to you, of course, to make sure that you are following along with your state's specific guidelines. Bill does provide general information for you in here about where to look, how to get the ball rolling, if you will, on step number 1. If you are looking to follow the steps outlined in this book, then step number 2 is to become a loan signing agent, which requires a certification through the National Notary Association. Information can be found in the book as well. He covers the specifics of what you need to do there and some additional steps to be taken after the fact as a loan signing agent, such as errors and omissions insurance, et cetera, et cetera. More found in the book, of course. Step 3, after you've actually become a loan signing agent, before you do your first signing, you might want to know what you're doing, right? Have a little bit of training. So Bill walks you through in phase 3 some of the options available in terms of training, things that you should know, things to focus on, all very important. I can tell you from personal experience, the excellent loan signing agents, the ones that I look forward to working with when I find out they're on my signings, Yes. They're always punctual. They're always on time, if not a little bit early. There's a certain way that they carry themselves, a level of professionalism. And Bill walks you through the dos and don'ts on how to distinguish yourself as somebody that I, as a loan officer, would want to work with, or a title company would want to work with. A way to get business, if you will. Naturally, phase 4 then becomes business development. How to get business, how to develop your business, how to establish yourself. He talks about some of the tried and true practices that he He's followed to get him to where he is today, going from at first $1,000 a month to a notary public loan signing agent is up to $20,000 a month as a loan signing agent, all around the flexibility of his schedule. He walks you through some of the routines that he's done, and that kind of leads into phase 5, which is manage the day-to-day. Once you've become established, how do you want to run your business? He does talk about different options such as becoming an independent contractor, working for already established title companies and then being a notary public loan signing agent on their behalf. He does also talk about the escrow officer option. So that would be working for one title company, facilitating the behind the scenes of the closing process in residential real estate transactions. I really enjoyed how Bill took time to distinguish the two. He talked about the day-to-day routines that he established to get started. And I personally loved his shout out to Hal Elrod, With his Miracle Morning, one of my personal favorites. Love that book. So great work to you there, Bill.
