Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial transactions most people will ever make. With so much paperwork, signatures, and legal verification involved, one professional quietly ensures that every detail is authentic and legally binding — the Notary Public.
At Looking Glass Runners Notary, we believe every real estate closing deserves the confidence that comes from working with a trusted, experienced notary. Here’s why notarization is essential in every property transaction.
1. Verifying Identities and Preventing Fraud
Real estate closings involve multiple parties — buyers, sellers, lenders, and agents — and large sums of money. This makes property transfers a prime target for fraud.
A notary serves as a neutral, state-authorized witness who:
-
Confirms that each signer’s identity is genuine using valid photo ID.
-
Ensures that everyone is signing voluntarily and is mentally competent.
-
Prevents forged signatures or unauthorized signings.
Without proper notarization, fraudulent transfers can go undetected — leading to lawsuits, title disputes, and financial loss.
2. Ensuring Legal Compliance
Real estate documents like deeds, mortgage agreements, and affidavits often require notarization to be recorded by county offices or accepted by financial institutions.
A trusted notary ensures:
-
The correct notarial certificate wording (acknowledgment or jurat).
-
Proper execution of signatures, seals, and dates.
-
Full compliance with state notary laws and recording requirements.
Skipping this step or working with an inexperienced notary can delay closings or cause your documents to be rejected by the recorder’s office.
3. Confirming Accuracy and Completeness
A professional notary double-checks that every page is properly signed, initialed, and dated before notarizing. This final layer of review ensures:
-
No missing pages or signatures.
-
Consistent names and spelling throughout.
-
Accurate completion of key details such as property address and legal descriptions.
At closing, even a single missing signature can hold up funding — but a trusted notary helps you avoid costly last-minute issues.
4. Supporting Smooth and Stress-Free Closings
Closings can already feel overwhelming. A professional notary brings organization and calm to the process.
They coordinate signing appointments, explain where to sign (without giving legal advice), and keep the process efficient and compliant. Whether you’re signing at an office, home, or online, a qualified notary ensures your closing runs smoothly from start to finish.
5. Remote Online and Mobile Options for Convenience
Today’s real estate market moves fast — and so should your notary.
Mobile Notaries travel directly to you, while Remote Online Notaries (RON) allow you to close from anywhere via secure video.
