My website has been receiving significantly more viewership since your post.
Business hasn't dropped off excessively, so there must be a lot of very kind people out there.
I don't dress well in my off hours, thus explaining my single status, and, apparently, not during my working hours either.
I'm also not pretty, but my mother claims she still loves me.

The typical borrower thinks we are an employee of the lender. The borrower doesn't know what a loan signer is and when we look unprofessional the borrower immediately thinks: "if the lender hires this type of person" then they not a very good company.
This type of thought process can make the signing both longer in time and more contentious.
>>>>>>>>>You may be right in the perception of the borrower; however, I always communicate to the borrower that I neither represent the borrower or the lender and that I am appearing as a neutral in the process. Great comments you shared! Thanks. Burton F.
Don't make you clothes a negative!!
The 2 Notaries who came to my house were so poorly dressed and groomed that they could have been poster children on "how not to dress for success."

I totally agree. First inmpression is EVERYTHING! At my day job we don't have a dress code but I take it upon myself to wear slacks, skirt etc just to portray a positive image of myself and the company I represent ( plus it makes me feel good when I look nice)
The bosses / clients really appreciate the extra effort and always compliment me on my appearance. |
