I'm part-time..I started doing this when we moved here after my husband's retirement and after my working in CT as a real estate paralegal for 25 years. We're enjoying his retirement together and signings are a supplement to that and an alternative to working 9-5, which we agreed I'd no longer have to do.
It can be done - just make it clear from the get-go in your advertising that you're only available after 3:00pm and weekends. You won't necessarily turn down a lot of work since most signings are done in the evening when the borrowers are home from work. I do get more daytime signings lately, which I love, but evening/night signings are more the norm than the exception.
Good Luck!!
Linda

Yes. Many NSA's (AKA mobile closers) perform other work. There simply is not enough reasonable fee work in most geographic areas of the country for a person to do this full time. You will find many in other detail and customer oriented work (real estate agents, paralegals, insurance people and others) that also have become involved in this field.
Many would like to do this work full time. However, some of the roadblocks include: high competition in many areas, lack of marketing skills, acceptance of fees that do not allow for a minimal standard of living, general lack of available and frequent assignments. Read this and other notary forums for great advice and some misinformation. To help determine the difference between the two, consider using your hard learned experience as a paralegal and also taking some courses to help you. You'll find many such possibilities recommended if you research this. 123Notary has some very good materials. |

| Unlike most on this forum my background is that of a paralegal, not a signing agent. However, I am thinking about becoming a signing agent. Is it possible to be a part-time signing agent? My hours are limited, I would only be available after 3 PM which would cause me to turn down a lot of work. |
