SunDay FunDAy Notary Q&A

This is a livestream Q&A (YouTube: "SunDay FunDAy Notary Q&A", Sept 21, 2020) led by LaTonya Johnson about mobile notary and loan signing work, Snapdocs workflow, building relationships with title/escrow companies, training and mentoring, scheduling/Calendly changes, and side discussions about real estate investing. Key practical takeaways: list many zip codes in your profile, call title companies after receiving notifications, respond to Snapdocs fast (≈30s) and follow up by phone, carry at least $50k E&O insurance, consider taking low-pay quick jobs (e.g., $30 loan mods) as practice, and Latonya's mentoring/consultation plans (approx $47–$97).

Hey, how are y'? All?
It's 901 here. I see a few people, so could y' all see me? Lord, I'm. I did that prepping thing again and then I got down here and saw. Good evening. Good evening. How y' all doing? That does not make sense. Could y' all see me prepping? Because, you know, I don't know when the thing goes live. Is that not crazy or what?
I am going to get on YouTube myself so that I can see.
That. Just. That's so funny to me. How y' all doing this evening and how was your week? Hey, Sarah.
How is your week going?
Hello, Linda. Normally I'm on here. I try to be on here exactly, exactly at 9. Normally I'm on here. Let me turn this volume down. My mother called me at 8:57, so I still made it on time. How y' all doing today?
Hello, Ms. Jones, Rosalind, all of my friends. So I have 17 people, it looks like here and.
A great life. You asked. Is there a minimum number of people before I go live? No, not really. If, if nobody got on here at 9 o', clock, I'd still be on here talking to my good self at nine o'. Clock, honey. I try to be on here exactly at 9. Hey Shamika.
My mother is doing well, so I think I had some calls this week with a few people and I had to take my mom to the hospital because something was going on with her eyes. My mother is 72 years old. Hey, Monica. And she's doing good. Everything is good. She had.
Some stuff done to her eyes. Now she feels a whole lot better. The medicine that they gave her made her sicker than the doggone than she was with her eyes. So that was real crazy. She got sick, sick, sick, sick, sick. So she's better now though. I just got off the phone with her. Thank you for asking, Shamika. I appreciate it. Also, I made a few changes to the calendly and the phone calls. What I want to start doing is answering most of the questions on the live call. So if you have any questions, I am.
I am going to start doing a post at least one day before our lives, which is Saturday. Go to that post and ask any questions that you have so.
We can ask most of the questions here. And if it needs to go over, then cool. The calendly. I'm spending a lot of time on that and I enjoy it. I have met so, so many awesome people on, on the calls that I give you guys. But I gotta start back making some Money and getting some stuff done because I take calls all during the day. So I'm trying to figure out my schedule for that. And if anybody can help me with that, that would be great because I want to talk to y', all, but I have to get back into looking for properties for real estate and doing that stuff because that's where my major money comes from. That's how I got rich last time, honey. I got to spend some time on that. So I met. Like I said, man, I've met so many just super fantastic people on here. And I. I enjoy speaking to each and every one of y'. All. And that's why I probably spend on a day, at least four hours talking to. Talking to you guys. Probably a day. So I gotta cut that down. I was thinking about going to only a few days a week. I'm still trying to figure it out. But I would prefer if we get in this platform and we answer any questions that you all have if you're on Facebook.
There's an issue going on with Streamyard where Facebook can't answer. I can't see your questions on Facebook. So if you would come over to Solutions by TJ on my YouTube channel.
That would be greatly appreciated. And for some reason, I see more.
I see more.
On my phone. I'm looking on my phone, and I see a lot more comments on my phone than I even do on calendly. Hey, Monique.
Monica.
Okay, so Monica mentioned something that's really good. Look at this. And this is what I tell my mentees, too. She says, I started keeping a list of title companies and their phone numbers to call when snapdoc. The Snapdoc listing goes out. Thanks for suggestions of calling directly. So here's the good thing.
When you receive a notification, you also want to call them. It is super important because I have not Me personally, Tanya Johnson. I've never called them and not gotten a job. And if I miss that job, then they give me the next one. Plus I get a name. I start building a relationship. So that phone call is absolutely everything.
So I highly recommend that you do that.
Once you get notifications, put them somehow, like in your favorites so that when that notification comes out, you can quickly go there and call. Call that number and let them know that you're available, too. Thank you, Sal. Thank you. A great life. Thank y'. All. Yeah, Mama's doing fine. I am. I'm glad about it.
So did y' all have any questions this week about anything involving notary? I didn't have too much action it looked like to me, I got less notifications this week than I normally do. I think there may have been maybe two days this week where it was like, wow, I'm getting a lot of notifications. But that was just two days. Normally it's every single day. So that was different for me. Did it look like it was slowing down for anybody else in any area of the world?
I did have a few questions.
I did have a few questions on.
From different people who I've started mentoring regarding their profile. Now, listen, this is important. Put every single zip code and name every single area that you can in your location. For instance, I live in Spring Branch, but I don't mind if, especially if I wasn't working, especially if I'm doing this full time, I don't mind going all over Houston as well as the surrounding area. So I'm gonna put Humble, Kingwood, Clear Lake, Kemah, Seabrook, Galveston.
Atasca, Ceda. I'm putting all of those places in all of those zip codes. And everybody wonders, well, dang, why do you get so many notifications? Sweetheart, I cover whole Houston and surrounding areas, and that's exactly what you need to do if you want to make money in this business. So of course, if you cannot get out far, then I understand that. And I don't take all of those sign ins. But if it comes on a Saturday and I can go out to that location that's maybe 30 minutes away, then absolutely, it's not a big deal. But I want to know, every time a notification comes in the Houston area, I want to be on that list. So make sure that your profile is well filled out again. Go on, go to my profile. Latonya johnson on signingagent.com and just take a look at what I've done, because it's been working for me. Okay? So great. Life has a question.
Based on your personal experience. What is your best recommendation for introducing yourself to a title company or escrow company for a direct business? So.
I just, you know.
Not all title companies use mobile notaries, and a lot of the big ones use this place called Bank Serve. So first of all, I would look at the smaller title companies and I would visit or I would call and say, hey, my name is Latonya Johnson. I'm a mobile notary, mobile signing agent in the area. Can I speak to the person who schedules your signings? What's her name? Blah, blah, blah, blah, right? And then I talk to that person and I'd introduce myself and say, I would love to start working with you. All she's probably going to ask for your criteria as far as bonding, background check, all of that stuff, and then you go from there and just build a relationship with her. Do I recommend that you take gifts? Not necessarily on your first meeting. Your first meeting could be a phone call. That's not a bad deal. If it's close to your house, then stop by. I mean, I always love stopping by. Tamika, what's going on? Why are you having no luck? Because I know I've been sending you notifications and you're saying that the companies cannot see.
Your profile, does not come up in your area. And I think that may have been happening to Cindy as well.
To. To one of one other lady, Cynthia. I don't understand it. And snapdocs is saying that, you know, they can see your profile when you pull it up. You can see it. So I. We're gonna have to get to the bottom of that because I don't understand why your profile doesn't come up.
When people pull up that area. So we'll work on it.
Tamika is one of the people that I mentor, and I've been feeding her leads, but then when she gives them a call, they're saying that they don't. They can't see her profile come up. Is that right? Tamika.
Loving life with this crazy election mess coming up in November, do you anticipate a stop? Absolutely not.
No. Nope. I don't. If anything, I believe that as long as interest rates are low.
As long as the interest rates are low, people are going to continue to buy houses. I don't think necessarily it has anything to do with the election. That's my personal opinion. And I mean, you know, Trump is for real estate, so, you know, real estate really makes the world go around. As long as the market for the. The interest rates are low, I believe that prices are going to continue to sell.
What price is too low for loan modifications? Hey, Adrian. Aldrian. Aldrian. So Eldrienn asked what price is too low for a loan modification? Normally, loan modifications are short closings. They're short documents. Right. So. So it'll be anywhere from 11 to 45 pages. If you're getting stuff from coast to coast. Listen, you're good. Coast to coast is a legitimate company. They have a whole lot of partial claims, whole lot of loan modifications. It's a 30. They give you $30 for that packet, but it'll only take you anywhere from five to 15 minutes to get that thing signed and you're out. So it's a real quick $30. A lot of people don't make $30 an hour at their job. So I recommend as a first closing, you absolutely take it. Okay? Take those jobs because it gets your feet wet with being in front of clients. It gets your feet wet with looking and reading through the documents. It's a good practice run. So I would rather look at 40 pages than 200 pages for my first close.
So that's my view. Hey, Ms. Jackie. Ms. Jackie, have you gotten all of your stuff done? I know I talked to you. You were supposed to be. Hey, listen, you're supposed to be.
In the world right now. You're supposed to be a whole notary public loan signing agent.
Okay, Sean, what do you do if not a signing company has not paid you for more than 60 days? Sean, keep up with your money and make sure that you call them. Don't email y'. All. Call them, call them, leave a message. They listen to their messages. If you can't get them directly on the phone, they listen to their messages. So make sure that you call them.
Miss Jackie, what are you saying? How much?
Okay, Miss Alpha lady, Newest ethics for notary Public loan signing agent. Just received my notary stamp. What do I do next? So, Ms. Alpha lady, you just. Are you a notary or a notary signing agent? Because they're two different things. So if you're only a notary, you still have to go through the training of becoming a notary signing agent. And if you are a notary signing agent and have gone through all of that, then make sure that you sign up with snapdocs. That will be the next step.
Should we use different platforms for regular notarizations and loan doc notarizations? Sal, what platforms do you use now? And I assume that you're talking about online notarizations. From my understanding, one notary doesn't do online notifications. Online notarizations for mortgage documents. It's just for the smaller docs. But Doc Verify does. It's just expensive.
So I don't think you have much of a choice but to use different platforms.
Okay, so Ms. Nicole is telling you, Tameka, make sure your NNA signing agent profile is set to public on snapdocs. Make sure your contact info matches the NNA listing and that your credentials are updated.
That's good advice. I'm pretty sure her profile is set to public because I looked at it myself and gave her some cues of how to change it. But yeah, you're right. Make sure your contact info matches the signingagent.com info.
Yes, Aldrian, that coast to coast is legitimate. Take those jobs.
Hold on, y'. All. I did something dumb over here.
Okay, here's a situation I'm running into with signing. Is it sunshine sign? Who is ss? There you go. With some doggones.
With them dog own abbreviations. I told y', all, I don't know what no abbreviation mean. Okay? They have paid me as high as 154refi. Then dropped it to 75. Why do you think they do this? They do that because their client. Because of the way that their clients are paying them. So.
Some of their clients pay higher than others, and that's why they do. If you don't want to take a $75 job, don't take it. I don't. I don't take anything less than $100. I'm. Because my time, like, I don't necessarily have to have a signing, but if I was doing this full time, I probably would.
Hey, Chocolate Carol checking in from Houston. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Is Houston in the house? Okay, I really need to have a whole conversation with you. Okay. BB.
Contact me BB on Facebook. On my Facebook.
DM me via Facebook. Because I'm. I'm really like. I don't know. I'm trying to figure this thing out with, with the, with the calendar and being accessible because I gotta start making this big money, y'. All. I, I'm telling you. Listen, this is what I've experienced with, with people in notary as well as real estate. Now, listen, this is. This is a million dollar piece of information from an ex millionaire, okay? Who's about to be a millionaire again. Y' all are being a little bit too scary to jump.
You have to.
Catch the wave. When the wave is here, you have to jump in the water sometimes, especially if you have somebody that's going to catch you in the water. I can understand y' all are scared, but you gotta take that leap. We are in a time period where it's about to be a huge transfer of wealth again. I mean, like nothing that we've seen in our lifetime. Because of this coronavirus stuff, even the notary business is changing. And, and there are more notifications during the dry season than I've ever seen. So a lot is changing. And, you know, I'm not going to miss it this time. I think I missed it in 2008. I was. Before 2008, I was on. You know, I had everything and then the bottom dropped out and I got caught in the bottom dropping out. But this is my wave again. This is my chance to take that uptide and I'm going to do things totally different. So if you've contacted me for.
Signing agent stuff, hey, y' all better call me and get on my. On my list. And you know, if you need for me to mentor you, go on and do that because I'm about to start focusing more so on real estate. I'm going to continue to be here for you guys at the 9 o', clock, but I have to, have to, have to get my money back up. I was born to be rich. That's my birthright. And I'm gonna get to where I gotta be in real estate. If you need for me to mentor you and you are scared to invest 2,500 to $5,000 in yourself in order to make that much or more on your first deal. Listen, I don't know what to tell you. I have invested hundreds and hundreds of thousands in myself. I've made money, I've lost money. Does it feel good to lose? No. But that's really a part of.
I'm an honest person. I, you know, I want everybody to win. I want everybody to win. And that lack consciousness is what's going to keep you broke. So if you gotta. If you have it and you just scared to spin it, it's the difference between having it and being scared to spend it than not having it. And you know, of course you can't spend it if you have it. Now is the time, y'. All. Now is the time. Okay, I'm off my soapbox. Okay, so Tamika is saying the title company can see my profile in Snapdocs, but they don't know why I'm not notified in the batch when they send out notifications. Well, they need to figure that out.
Because it's something internal. So my next question would be. Okay, so what are we going to do to fix that? To resolve that issue? I'd stay on the phone and worry the heck out of them. Tamika.
Hey. Shawnee is very new. Currently waiting for her notary commission. Anyone doing signings in New York?
New York people, y' all here. Shawnee, make sure that you've joined my Facebook group because we have so many people from New York in that group. It's called.

Okay, so Shani and Ms. Alpha lady, if y' all are only notaries, make sure you become a notary public loan signing agent. That's where the money is. I noticed they'll Often offer more toward the end of the day and it turns into the last minute signing, which I try to avoid, you know. And that happens around Christmas too.
People do, you know, if they put out a notification earlier in the day and nobody picks it up, then we all do it in the business. We start offering more and more money. And of course you don't want to do it at the last minute, but you actually have more control because you can call, you can accept the job and call them and say, hey, I'm able to take this job, but I can take it at 8pm so if they want it done at 6, they'll take 7 or 8. Trust me, if it's going to get done. So you give yourself an additional two hours.
So that's the tip.
Okay, Sal. Well, welcome. Y' all jump into this because it's some man. I have one of my mentees.
What is Saint Saint John. He made. I mean, you know, this is his second week at 800 a week. We got to get him past that 800 thing onto a thousand. But I do have clients who are making a thousand. A thousand dollars a week and more. It's doable. My cousin hustling Mariama, who did that video, hustling, talking. She has probably three or four signings a day, so she's getting it.
Okay, Melon, contact me.
Okay.
Anybody who needs to get in touch with me. Like I said, I'm for these consultations. So here's what I want to do for the calendly stuff. I want y' all because I'm getting a lot of the same questions over and over that I've, I've spoken about in the videos. So that first video that I did on how to become a notary public loan signing agent and make $1,000 a week, and the next one with the remote online notarization, those are packed with information and they're packed with what you need to do when you start from start to finish. Like, you know, if you're currently a notary, contact Snapdocs. Don't, don't go on the, don't go on the web. Actually call them. All of that has already been talked about in those videos. For people who want me to be their mentor, those are the calls I'm about to start charging for the consultations, y', all, because I gotta, I gotta get back into my money. So I'm trying to figure it out. I'm trying to figure it out. Just give me some time to figure that out. In the meantime, DM me on Facebook. Until I figure that out, my consultation will probably be anywhere from 47 to $97. Haven't figured out which price point to go with just yet, but that phone call needs to be. I need to be talking about stuff that I have not talked about in the video. So if you, if you have something that a video can cover, please look back at those old videos. Okay?
Okay. A great life. I've made the leap, but not pleased with the lack of traction. The lowball offer is what is not what I was expecting from signing services. Been at this since June of 2020.
A great life. Where are you located? A grateful life.
Where are you located? Are you receiving notifications from snapdocs? Are you calling companies all the time? The companies that are listed in my Facebook group, I put it as an announcement. So if you all go to. Let me, let me do that. Let me share my screen real quick. I'm going to.
Hold on. Yeah, okay. Share the screen.
Gotta put myself over here.
Yeah, that doesn't look good. Okay, so I'm gonna go to Facebook.
In the wrong account, but I'm going to go to Solutions by tj.
Here it is, Solutions by tj, Notary networking and knowledge.
And.
If you look at the very top of this page.
Why didn't it come up.
Under announcements right here? Here's the list of title companies. It's under announcements.
Okay.
So you can find it there.
There is also under popular topics.
If you click. I created some tabs over here to the side. So if you click those tabs, popular post topics, it should be. I don't know why it's just showing this one. If you click that on the right hand side, then you'll see it again. But those are the companies and one of the great guys who's another mentee of mine, gave me a whole lot more companies. So I just have to make time to. To share that with y' all as well.
So I don't know why it's just one showing here because I have a bunch of them. But. Okay.
So yeah.
Okay, let me see if you answered my question down here. Return on investment. I get it. I want to catch the wave. I know. Tamika, I'm ready for you too. I don't understand that. It's pissing me off. The process just sent off my. Okay, this thing jumps a little bit.
So, Natasha, if you want to make a hundred dollars a week, I mean a thousand dollars a week, then every. So 100 times 10 is a thousand. So you'll take 10 jobs. My cousin Mariama is doing at least three a day. So three times 100, that's $300 a day. And then five days, that's $1500 a week. And she could actually do more. She just don't be feeling like it because we've done more.
See the world with Angelique. What do you mean? Which one is best?
Chocolate girl. You're working on the training modules for nsa. What does that mean? I don't understand.
Okay, Ty, it is picked up in Jersey, but I'm thinking about real estate again. I just don't want to do cold calling or hire a va. Well, Ty, I mean, I don't. I don't mind cold calling, so I get it.
I get it. You're gonna have to do one of them, though. You're gonna have to door knock, cold call or something. If you. I mean, you can send out text messages, that's another way.
Okay, Ty, please don't hesitate to contact me.
So how is Mariama doing it? Mariama is high up on Snapdocs because she's been doing this since 2016 when we started in 2016. You know, when you receive a notification from Snapdocs, I don't care what it's paying. I don't care where it is. Take the job if you can. Unless you're at work, it's the only time you don't take that job. We took every single job, every single notification that came our way. So now turn 2020. We're at the top of the list. And I mean, it didn't take us long to get to the top of the list when we were. When we first started. By following those instructions. When they call you, you be available, right? So, I mean, she gets enough notifications where she can easily do three to four signings a day. That's how she does.
So, Janice, you are in New Mexico, in a rural, rural area.
What part of New Mexico? Wherever houses are selling, they need notary services. Are there title companies in your town? I don't care how small your town is, you might be the only one who really might be able to kill it. So what I would do is.
I would search Snap. I would search SigningAgent.com for your area in New Mexico. I would look on Facebook and see if there are any Facebook groups for mobile signing agents in your area. I would look and see what's going on and be able to ask somebody that's there. But it never hurts to be the first person to do it. So even if there are just two title companies in your Town, I would stop by and ask, hey, have y' all ever been interested in having a mobile notary public loan signing agent? About how many signings do you do a week, a month? You know what I'm saying? So that you can get an idea of how much business you can get from that. And you may have to go and hunt your business down, but you're in New Mexico. So how far are you away from the main city? You know, is it a 45 minute drive? 20? Those are things to think about.
Ms. Jackie. All of my videos are on YouTube. My YouTube channel is Solutions by TJ.
And you'll find all of my videos. Okay, California. California should be hot. A great life.
Are you calling these title companies and people on that list?
Because not everybody is lowballing on snapdocs.
Hey bb. Hey, I need you to contact me. I was looking for you. Please, please, please hit me on git to contact me on.
Facebook at Solutions by tj. Because I want to talk to you, see if I can help you.
Janice. A real estate signing and a, and a loan signing of the same thing. It's real estate mortgage documents.
Sarah. I know you can do it easily. You can easily hit that number of that 1,000 a week.
Peggy. Okay, so Peggy gave me a suggestion. Maybe you can set aside two hours a day to assist others and anything outside that. Let people send an email and you can answer them when you get time. So I'll do better in a call. Ain't gonna be able to email because y' all will never get a response. I get too many doggone emails so that two hours a day, maybe not every day is. Is doable for me. That's doable.
Okay, thank you, Peggy.
Okay, other than insurances and NSA training, what extra special credentials can get you better and more offers like maybe real estate license or degree? Nothing.
Just doing it. Experience.
From a credential standpoint. That's it. Just doing it. Having a lot of closings?
Absolutely, Sarah.
Absolutely. Sarah, are you getting a good amount of notifications on snapdocs and are you making those calls to those title companies and the companies that are on that list?
Trina, are you doing this full time? Trina? I made a little over 1200 for a month last month, baby. That ain't bad. Now that's not bad.
That's not bad. I mean, I know you want more, but that's not bad. Trina. Twelve hundred for last month. That ain't bad.
Come on, Miss Jackie, what you need to do? Oh, okay. You need to learn the paperwork. Ms. Jackie, have you gotten your. Taking the test and all of that stuff on.
National Notary? The notary. Well, the NNA, National Notary Association. The web address is national notary.org.
No, Sal, my cousin doesn't do it remotely. She goes to. She either meets them and we do it the car method, where two cars are next to each other and we do the signings. Or she wears her mask and they'll meet somewhere.
Yay, lillian.
Y' all gonna have to talk in complete sentences, because by the time I get to the response of the question that I asked, I don't know what the heck I was talking about. So see the world with Angelique. You said signing company girl. I don't know what question I asked you.
I have no clue. I don't remember. And then if I go up, I'm gonna lose my spot for all of the other questions. It's crazy.
Trina said, is your cousin doing a mix of remote and mobile jobs? I don't have an option to do three jobs a day.
What do you mean you don't have the option to do three jobs a day?
Are you working full time still? Trina, when you answer, say, yes, I'm working full time.
Or else I ain't gonna know what you're talking about. If you just say yes, then I'm gonna be lost. Okay, so no, she's doing. She's not doing remote right now. We are not getting a lot of requests for remote. Not for mortgage documents.
Yay, Khalees. You were commissioned on Friday. Awesome.
Awesome. Oh, the training for notary public loan signing agents. So which training did you take? Chocolate girl? Did you take Mark Will's training? Are you in that one or which one are you in?
And listen, y'. All. So, okay, let me give y' all the real honest to God truth. I did not take any courses before I became a notary public loan signing agent. I didn't take anything outside of the course that the National Notary association offers. You can jump. They offer an online training that is not timed and is open book. So I understand people want to be super duper prepared and take Mark Will's course. And, you know, I. I'm not trying to cut into nobody's money. I believe that he offers a service, a good service. I do believe that, you know, some people need to feel super duper prepared and see all of the documents before they jump in. But my personal opinion. Jump in. You're paying extra money that you don't necessarily have to pay, and you're taking time that you don't have to take, jump in and get the money. And I do that with my real estate mentees too. So one of my clients, I was talking to her this week and she was like, well, you know, there's so many key phrases that we don't know. I just kind of think that we need to start, you know, getting to know more of the terminology. And man, listen, if you work with me, I'm throwing you in the water. You're swimming. The first week, the first week we start looking for deals, we, we figure it out as we go. That's the best way to do it. That's the only way that, you know, you can take a long time and, and learn it other ways. But because you have a mentor, if you have a question, you can answer that, you can ask that question, you know what I'm saying? Versus I'm getting analysis paralysis by looking at this person, looking at that person, looking at all of these videos. But I still haven't made a move. Make the move. Take the training with the nna. Become a notary public loan signing agent as quickly as possible, and let's get money.
Ms. Jackie, for people to learn the paperwork, I recommend that you go on and sign up, become a notary signing agent through the nna, just like I just said. And then you and I talked about the mentorship and we can do that. Mariama and I walk you through each and every document. I think I said it on last week. If you are not in Texas, then look on signingagent.com find somebody's picture in your area that looks, you know, looks like they're a nice person. Give them a call and ask them. Let them know you'll pay them to go through those papers with you.
You're welcome. Janice?
Yep.
Girl. Alicia, this is a great question. How fast do you need to respond to Snapdocs offers? 30 seconds or 2 minutes. So.
As soon as you see it, if you wait one minute, it's gone. So I'd say 30 seconds at a maximum. From what I've been told from watching one of Mark Will's videos where he interviewed Snapdocs, they said that they send those notifications out. They don't send it out in batch. They send it out one person at a time. And there is a small delay. So I believe that small delay may be about 30 seconds. So if you've waited for two minutes, it's gone. The job is gone. So click I'm available. And then again, follow up with a phone call.
I hate the way. So my comments are jumping y'. All.
Thank you, Janice. I appreciate the encouragement.
Somebody asked, will any other credentials? Tameka said, not real estate license because mine didn't get me any. Girl, I want you to win.
I'm gonna have to call these people myself because it's irritating me because I'm just sending you jobs and sending you jobs and then you can't find. They can't find you in the system. But. But just be patient, keep your energy pleasant and the flow will come in because the more you get frustrated with it, the worse it's going to be. So keep your energy calm and flowing.
A great life. Who told you that title and escrow companies aren't receptive to cold calling.
I mean, I don't think anybody is until they need you, but who cares? I call anyway. I've got my best business through a cold call. And stopping by is again, face to face is always awesome. But in any of those scenarios where you're selling yourself to someone, they have the option to say no. And they, they can be rude sometimes.
Okay, Nicole said sometimes the title producer, you know, Nicole's. Let me finish. Hold on. She said sometimes a title producer license can help.
You are right. I think in certain states, I think in Maryland, that's required the title producer's license.
Peggy, you're right. From the emails, it may help with topics to cover or answer on Sunday nights. That's a good one. Really good one.
Okay, so this is another excellent question from Ms. Nancy. Do I choose to become a notary first or not a notary public loan signing agent? On nna, you have to be a notary first. You have to be a commission notary before you can become a notary public loan signing agent.
Trina. Okay, I would like to do three signings a day, but I'm not getting that many notifications. I'm trying to work as a notary public loan signing agent full time. Okay, so Trina, you got to be proactive then. Are you making those phone calls to those. To that list that I gave y' all on Facebook? Call them every single day. Every day.
If you are in Snapdocs, also ask the people who you've worked for already to make you one of their preferred notaries. Call them back and say, hey, my name is Trina. I did the signing on for the Gonzalez signing for you on da da da da da. You know, whatever name that's. I'm just giving you an idea.
And ask them, you know, did I do a great job? I Would love to become one of your preferred notaries. How do I get on your preferred notary list?
That's what you do.
Okay, so, Geraldine Toussaint.
Okay, so Geraldine, a couple of things that you may want to look at is how many areas.
What are your zip codes like on your signingAgent.com profile? Do you have enough areas open?
Let me see. Also.
Make sure that you're coming up on signingagent.com be proactive in calling them. Don't just expect for them to call you. Look at that list that I have on my Facebook group and call those people.
Not getting any notifications for a job and contact Snapdocs and make sure that they can see you. Make sure that there's not a problem with your profile.
Shim. Okay. For people who've taken the test, Shim is asking, is the test hard in your opinion? Absolutely not. It's open book, open book test. And it's not time. So you can take it at your leisure. Ms. Jackie, I'm going to teach you all the paperwork. Mariama and I go over every single page with you when you have a signing. So go on and take the test. Go on and get certified. I got you. Don't worry about all that. I got you 1,000%. We go through, I mean, for the first month, when you work with us as many times as you want us to go through those documents with you, that's how many times we go through it.
Loving life, that loan, signing agent, source book. It's okay, you know, I have it. I didn't have it when I first started out. So if you have a mentor who's going to go through the documents with you, like your personal documents, there's no need to get that source book. If you just want to see some documents, cool. Get it. It's a $45 book. I personally didn't think it was worth it for my mentees. They don't have to have it because I have it. So I'm going to go through their own documents with them. And nothing means more to you than your own documents. Trust me, you don't want to make a mistake.
Yeah, Kelis, that's a good idea. Great idea.
I tell you, if this thing jump one more time, I'm on pass out.
Tamika's in Dat gum.
Okay, so Sonya, you have to do a six hour class, then the exam. Any tips?
Are you doing it through the National Notary association and is it online? Because from my understanding, National Notary association everywhere is online and you do.
It'S online and it's open book and it's not timed. So let me know.
Now see, look, Aldrian is getting potential jobs and waiting on the stamp and then other people aren't getting any offers. Boy, I tell you, it's crazy. And that is really how it's going.
You have to get your stamp first and then after you get your stamp, you have to become a notary public loan signing agent Aldrin. So those are the steps. So until then, there's nothing for you to do. How much E and O insurance do I recommend that you get, Vivian? I say no less than 50,000.
Absolutely, Ms. Jackie. Feel free to share this on your radio station. I would Love it.
Love it, love it.
Sarah, I've been making those calls, been bugging them all last week. Haven't received anything on Snapdoc. Dang.
Sarah, contact me when you get an opportunity and.
So that we can look over your profile. So call me tomorrow, text me, call me so I can look at your profile personally. But I need for you to remind me because I got a million and one things going on.
Karen. Oh girl, I like that hat and that little outfit.
Okay, I'm just signing in. Do you only signings in your vehicle side by side and meet the customer somewhere or do you also go in their homes? Karen, in all honesty, I have gone in the home too. Wearing my mask and wearing my gloves with my hand sanitizer sitting right next to me. I have the N95 mask that was given to me by my good doctor friend and I even have a shield if I want it. I haven't used the shield yet, but I have it. But I have gone into a house one time. But I have baby, I'm. I'm done up when I do.
Okay. Katrina, you said they really aren't allowing pop ups. Your hair is too cute. Call them. Do cold calling.
Do cold caller. But I'd be willing to bet you somebody answers the door somewhere if you pop up.
Hey Janice. So you're in southern New Mexico. I Love New Mexico. 20 miles away is a small town. One title company.
Las Cruces is 60 miles away.
That's an hour away though.
The small town with that one title company may not be that bad of a deal. You might need to go 20 miles about 20 minutes away. That might not be that bad. I'd go talk to them.
Angelique.
Don'T see the list. Are you at my Facebook group or my Facebook page? It's on the Group Solutions by TJ Notary Networking. Q and A is the group. So it's not the page, it's the group. And it's under the announcements.
I'm just going to do it. A mixture of both cold calling and popping in. If someone is rude, I'll just weed them out. Absolutely. Hey, and you know what? A great life. That's what I do in real estate too. Because you're gonna get some no's. You are. And I, you know, a little brief history. I don't like. No, nobody likes rejection. I don't think men or women like rejection. If you see somebody that you like, you don't want to know that they don't like you. You know? You know what I'm saying? So it doesn't feel good, but it is a part of it. And you got to figure out how not to take it personally and just move on.
Miss Levy, if Coast to coast is able to send me a request, does it mean snapdocs should be able to find me and send me a request as well? I can't answer that. Libby, are you not receiving any requests from snapdocs? Is that why you're asking that question?
You are so welcome, Nancy. Thank you.
Rising Boo. Listen, jump in. Jump in. If you need for somebody to look over your documents with you, find somebody on signingagent.com in your area and pay them a hundred bucks to go over your documents with you.
Jump in. Don't be nervous. Everybody's nervous at first. Nerves are a part of it. Nerves are a part of anything new that you do. That's just a part of it. But hey, do it because it is so worth it.
You are so welcome, Janice. I'm glad I was able to help.
Awesome, Nancy.
So, Nancy, if you have any issues getting that packet, it's always best to call because that dog on.
Notary networking, I mean notary national notary.org is confusing to me. Like when I went on there.
As a newbie, you just don't know what you need. So let me know. Of course you need the background check. Somebody asked me earlier this week which program would I select. And I chose the one that's like 1 79. There's one for 249. That includes the loan signing source book. I chose the one under that because if you have a mentor, you don't necessarily need that book because you can do it through your own document.
That's good, Sarah. Call some other little title companies. What's the name of the one little title company? See if they have a sister. A sister location, Sarah. And start cold Calling title companies, too.
You have to be assertive. Y' all don't wait for business to come to you. You go to the.
Hey, Jacqueline.
Awesome. So loving life. You got the loan source book through that 249 package.
Miss Jackie, come on now. You already did the test.
You need to. We need to get back on the phone.
So Anika is asking, what are the benefits of real estate investing? Under an llc.
There is supposed to be some liability protection, but if somebody is going to sue you, they're going to sue you both personally, professionally, and as an llc. So, I mean, you know, to me, my personal opinion. Now, that doesn't. I'm not an attorney. Let me start out there. But it doesn't help from a tax perspective. It does help, but if you're getting an LLC, make sure that it's not a single member LLC. Somebody needs to at least have, you know, another 21 to 25%. But ask your CPA about that, because I'm going through that as well from a tax perspective. So make sure you not. You are not just a sole member llc.
Somebody asked, how hard is the test? And Tanika said, it's easy. She missed one question.
Okay, so what is this? I applied to be a notary because. Thank you.
Yes.
Sashay. Absolutely.
Shawnee. I absolutely would consider it. Like I say all the time, I need to see those documents. And somebody sent me a pair of documents. I can't remember where they're from. I still have not had time to look through them because I'm on them. Dadgum calls, y'. All. I'm trying. I gotta get my life together.
I gotta get my schedule together.
So what book is good for taking the test? The.
Notary Public Loan, Signing Agents Certification Study guide is the one. It comes with it. It comes with the. With the packet that costs $179.
Cassandra. Cassandra asked, what other hustle can a notary pick up? Look on national notary.org and.
Look under Jobs for notaries. They have a whole bunch of great, great, great information. Also, that magazine that they put out, awesome. For just getting ideas on additional things that notaries can do.
Thank you, Nancy.
Oh, gotcha. Okay, Sonia, so you're going through a community college to get yours. Okay.
Did they not offer it through the nna? Sonya, did you have to go through the community college.
To get it?
And, Sonya, what's the $130? Boo. I'm lost.
Is it $130 to take the test?
Awesome.
Does that gum thing jump the screen again? I'm about to throw it in the. In the trash.
Okay. Okay. Ms. Jackie, inbox me because, girl, I got a lot going on I might forget now. I don't want to leave you out.
Ms. Karen, please inbox me on Facebook.
Solutions by TJ.
My fee for mentoring. I'm about to shut shut it down because I have enough people to mentor.
And I like being one on one with everybody. So I'm about to shut it down pretty soon. So please contact me on Facebook at Solutions by tj.
Because, yeah, I'm about to shut it down. My mentoring, because I have enough people and I want to make sure that I can service the people that I have. So contact me.
What you were talking about now is the signing agent, which I'll do after I become a notary. And fine.
Oh, awesome. Okay.
Yeah. Tracy, I believe the one on one mentoring thing is the way to go. And the good part about my program is that, you know.
I try to make you self sufficient where you don't need me. So I like to get people in my program through my program where they understand and if they have questions that come up, of course they can call me. But, you know, so it's a rotating thing. So just because I have enough student people right now doesn't mean that I won't open back up. I just need to get some people through the pipeline.
Okay, Monique, once you get assigned from coast to coast, how much time do you prepare for the assignment?
That kind of depends on you. They have a video that walks you through how to do those documents. And most of those coast to coast jobs, you can schedule it anywhere from seven to 10 days. My personal opinion, it should only take you about three days to go through those. It ain't going to even take you that. But you can Give yourself about 3 days to go through the documents and find whatever you need and see if you have any questions. And then if you have questions, contact coast to Coast. They don't answer their phone very well, but they do answer emails eventually. So, yeah, I would look through them as soon as possible so that I can get back with them and try and get any questions, questions answered.
Wow. Libby, let's talk tomorrow. Libby, give me. Text me.
Okay. Janice, I found a notary public loan signing agent in the big city, 60 miles away. I'm gonna message her. Absolutely. That is good.
Which package do you recommend? The 175 1. Kelise.
Question. If a signer borrower decides 40 minutes into a signing and states they don't have time to get through all the docs, should the signing service pay you the full rate?
How many more docs did they have to go number one. And. And if they are running low on time, just go through signing. The docs don't try to explain all of that stuff. Just, you know, all they want to do. Of course, in that situation, it sounds like you sign the docs. They don't want you going through a page by page. Let them know where to sign you notarize and get them out of there.
If they decide not to sign it, then normally the companies give you that $50 fee for your gas and the printing fee.
They don't necessarily pay you for the full. Pay you the full rate. Hey, Diana.
Okay, Sonia. That's not bad. $130 for the cost of the class.
Oh, now that's just crazy. Yeah, Great Life. They had three separate properties and loans. 15 minutes. He was being ridiculous. He was being ridiculous.
Nah, it's gonna take him way longer than that.
Oh, you printed over a thousand pages. I would contact the title company and let them know.
And. And when they. Those people are ready to sign, then you should get that job. But I will contact the title company and let them know, hey, I printed out a thousand copies. Can y' all please pay me for the copies too?
That's crazy. That's a thousand pages. Jesus. How much were they paying you to do that job? That had to have been for three loans. That should have been a 300 job at a minimum.
Exactly.
Yeah. You and me and Nicole are thinking alike. Is three. Three closing fees. I want to know what, How. How much did they pay you?
I do teach remote online notarizations. Miss. Miss Jackie.
There are not a whole bunch of requests from my understanding, from what I'm seeing right now for that. Again, I haven't done a lot of research on it, but there aren't a lot of requests on Snapdocs. And that's the only platform that I have time to utilize right now.
Okay, y', all, we've been on here an hour and seven minutes. Please, please, please. Before you go anywhere, hit that like button.
Make sure you all like this video.
I do appreciate it.
Planet Smooth. You do have to be a notary and a great life. Yeah, it was supposed to be a $300. They should have paid you even more, but they. They need to pay you for that paper and you need to call them. I definitely would. They should ask them, are they going to reassign that job? Is the signer going to sign and can they reassign it to you.
Ask them, you know, do you have to. Can they pick up where they left off with signing? Ask them a few questions before you go back out there. But they should pay you at least a hundred dollars. Shoot.
For real, $50 is not good enough.
But thank y' all so much. I'm about to get off of here and call it a night. I love y'. All. Y' all have a great week. I am going to know more about my schedule this coming week.
I am going to start charging for the consultations. Most of the information is free and on these videos, y'. All. So just take the time to skim back through these videos, find it, and hopefully you get everything that you need. I will be offering probably.
You know, I can't even say. I was about to say. I'm gonna try to offer at least one day of free calls, but I'm not sure. Plan it. Smooth the course that you need to take. If you're not already a notary, then go to the National Notary Association, Call them tomorrow morning, let them know that you want to become a notary, and. And then after that, then become a notary public loan signing agent. Because the notary public loan signing agent is where most of the money is. The whole process, Planet Smooth is on my.
It's on a video that I created called how to Become a Notice Notary Signing Agent or something like that. Okay, y', all, thank y' all so much. I'm gonna put that post out. I'm gonna start putting it out on Saturday. So if you have questions, please, please, please.
Make sure that you post those questions there. When you get an assignment through Snapdocs, they take a portion of your fee. No, they. They. The people. The companies who advertise on Snapdocs, they pay them separately.
So, like us, we pay snapdocs $5 every time they send out a broadcast for us.
All right, y' all have a good night. Have a great week. I love y' all to life. I'm rooting for everybody. I'm just not pleased with the Snapdocs thing and people not being able to be seen and. Because it's a bunch of. Just a bunch of money. So I don't know. We're gonna figure it out. We're gonna work together, and I love y'. All. Y' all have a great week.
