Thanks CopperheadVA, I do appreciate your comments. I was beginning to think it was just me. I am sure I will get over it. I think had I just done one before I would feel so much better!  quote:

One is privacy issues for the borrower, another is that the title company or signing service would likely frown on it big time, and yet another reason is that you are their competition and they would be crazy to train you!
I turned down my first few calls too, because they conflicted with my personal plans. Then I told my self that if I wanted to make money in this business, then I needed to say YES to every call (assuming they met my fee). I told myself that the very next call I got, I would say yes NO MATTER WHAT. The call came, I said yes, I was nervous, but I did the job and everything went OK. You have to jump in with both feet and JUST DO IT.
As far as a sample agreement - I only get those from signing services. Title companies don't seem to use those. Don't worry about that at this point.

Lisa T. I do appreciate you taking the time to reply to my posting. I appreciate your feedback and you are right it would make much more sense and ask someone out of the area to do a possible mock signing maybe. Anyway thanks for you response.

Dawn, the only way you are going to get comfortable with loan signings is to do them. I doubt there is a Notary in your area who will allow you to ride along - they are not going to train their competition. Plus there are confidentiality issues - the Notary would have to get both the borrowers and the TC's permission to have an outsider attend the signing, for which I doubt they will do.
What you could do is see if a Notary at least 100 miles from you would be willing to meet you halfway at a NICE restaurant and you treat them to lunch and pay for their gas. They could show you how to present a mock set of loan docs, plus give you other tips and tricks of the trade.
I'm in CA but if I were in Illinois, I would do that for a new Notary.

Hello everyone,
I am in a bit of a pickle here. I have two questions.
I am a Notary and a few months ago I completed a Signing Agent course. I have everything I need to do the job. I have woked in the mortgage industry for 7 years so I am familar with documents and the basics. The problem is although I have taken this course and have basic knowledge I have never physically done a signing and am nervous. Is there anyone in Illinois in the south suburban area that would be willing to let me ride along on a signing so I become more comfortable? Also does anyone have a sample agreement that could let me look at that you would use for companies you are accepting orders from? I have already had five calls and turned them all down because I am afraid I will fumble during the process  Thank you for all your help.
