Why Prepping Your Signers Matters More Than You Think

If you’re a real estate investor using Remote Online Notarization (RON), chances are you’re doing it to speed things up. And that’s smart — RON eliminates delays, simplifies the signing process, and keeps deals on track.

But there’s one small step that can make or break how smoothly everything goes: making sure your signers understand the documents before they get to us.

Lately, we’ve had a few sessions where we reached out to schedule with signers and were met with confusion: "What is this for?" "I wasn’t told about this." "I’m not ready to sign anything."

These situations create unnecessary delays — and in a worst-case scenario, they can cause deals to fall apart.

That’s why we gently but firmly remind all our investor clients:

👉 Please ensure your signers are informed and comfortable with the documents before you send them to us.

We’re not asking them to be legal experts. But we do need them to be able to say, confidently, that they understand what they’re signing and that they’re ready to move forward.

When that box is checked, the rest of the process runs like clockwork. We get the documents, reach out, schedule the session, and get everything notarized without a hitch.

Our mission is to help you close faster and with less stress. A quick prep conversation with your signer goes a long way in making that happen.

Let’s keep those deals flowing — and confusion-free.

Kenny B.

I had no idea that this kind of service existed, but I am so glad I did...Katie made the whole process very easy. I really like the fact that she can provide virtual services so I don't have to drive across town or coordinate schedules.

Rebecca Kroseberg

We helped a family member purchase a home out of state. This was a super stressful process, as all of us were in another state than the house that was being purchased. Katie helped out in a pinch with her virtual notarization services. Most importantly, using her virtual service meant not having to take time off work to go to a local notary and wait around. She made the process easy and had everything prepped. Highly recommend!
