Optimize your RON platform's screen sharing: use a secondary monitor to display documents while viewing the signer on another screen, zoom in on signature lines so signers can clearly see where to sign, highlight or annotate to guide attention, and go page-by-page methodically. Technology supporting clarity prevents issues.
Walking Signers Through Documents
Guide signers: explain each page briefly ('This is page 1 of 10 — this is the cover page'), point to signature lines clearly, wait for signer confirmation before moving to next page, and address signer questions about document format (not content). Patient guidance creates confidence.
Highlighting Key Signature Pages
For complex documents: create a summary of which pages require signatures, use color-coded highlighting in the PDF (if allowed by RON platform), or use sticky notes to flag signature pages. This reduces errors where signers miss required pages.
Camera Position and Lighting
Professional RON experience: position camera at eye level so signer sees you professionally, ensure proper lighting so signer can see your face clearly, keep your background professional (not cluttered), and dress professionally even for virtual signings. Presentation matters for credibility.
Post-Signing Verification
Before closing the RON session: confirm signer has copies of notarized documents (email or download), verify all required signatures are complete, confirm signer understands what happens next (lender contact, timeline), and end professionally. Thorough close-out ensures signer satisfaction.
