You must not have been convicted of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude (which to those of us 'regular folk' means a crime that is against society's views of justice).
Another false assumption associated with notary public work is that you can pick your hours or jobs. Well....that is not exactly true. If you want to work as a mobile notarization naer me public, you must actually do the assignments when the client needs you. This means 9:00 am, when the kids are at school OR 9:00 pm at night when you normally put the kids to bed. If there is a time when you are not available for that client and they have to call someone else, guess who they will call the next time they need a mobile notary? Your right.... the notary public that they can count on being available when they needed them.
This scam has been working well for years, but apparently isn't efficient enough for some crooks. In a new twist, some clever criminals have found a better way. Now, instead of pretending to help, the crooks just forge the owner's name on a quitclaim deed and file it with the county. A quitclaim deed is a statement from a property owner that he or she no longer wishes to maintain any interest in the property. That notarized document near me specifies who will take over ownership.
I must first preface this story by saying how thankful I am that my mother never prohibited me from any reading. I read Stephen King in sixth grade, The Scarlet Letter in seventh grade, and plenty of smutty Harlequins hiding in the local bookstore with my best friend Liza. All that "questionable" reading, but I turned out just fine for it. I don't suppose my brain is warped too badly.
If your notary publics near me original flyers don't result in any calls it can be discouraging but don't give up. Create some new flyers. If you have a computer, put some attention getting graphics at the top. Offer a discount for anyone who signs up before Christmas, or for 3 months in advance. You can come up with all kinds of attractive offers. True, discounts and other kinds of offers may cut back on your profit for a while, but you will make up for it later with satisfied clients who will recommend your services to their friends and relatives, and you will be the winner in the long run.
Legal Fees. You will need the services of a lawyer or a notary public to act for you when you have to transfer ownership of the property to your name.
And one of the most pleasurable and memorable experiences too. This borrower will never forget the day the temperature was sub-freezing, and was comfortable wearing a t-shirt to the closing.
