5 Key Ways Notaries Support Realtors

May 02, 20253 min read

In real estate, every detail matters—and every professional involved plays a key role in keeping transactions moving forward. My colleague Erika Farmer, a Realtor with Verde Realty and fellow member of our LeTip networking group, often says, “Who you work with matters.” That’s more than a slogan—it’s a principle that reflects how she serves her clients and it perfectly mirrors how I operate as a mobile notary for real estate transactions.

While many associate notaries with loan signings, we do so much more behind the scenes. As a Mobile Notary Public and Certified Trust Delivery Agent, I regularly support real estate professionals and their clients throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties by facilitating a wide range of specialized signings—and ensuring they’re done quickly, securely, and correctly.

🔑5 Key Ways Notaries Support Realtors Beyond the Closing Table

Grant Deeds, Quitclaim Deeds & Trust Transfers
When clients need to transfer property into a trust, remove a party from title, or gift real estate to a family member, these transactions often require a
grant deed or a quitclaim deed notarization. I ensure these documents are properly executed, and when needed, I provide County Recorder document courier services to file them promptly.

Just last month, a Realtor I work with had a seller who needed to remove a former spouse from the property title. We handled the quitclaim deed notarization on-site, and I submitted it directly to the County Recorder the same day. The transaction stayed on track, and the client was relieved to avoid extra steps. These kinds of moments are exactly why having a responsive notary matters.

Power for Real Estate Transactions
If a buyer or seller is out of state or unavailable to attend the closing, a
notarized power of attorney for real estate lets someone else step in to sign. I ensure the POA is completed according to California standards, helping prevent costly delays.

📝 FAQ: Can a notary help if a signer is out of town or in the hospital?

Absolutely! I frequently assist with power of attorney notarizations for clients who are unavailable or facing health-related limitations. I also provide mobile notary services to hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and assisted living facilities when timing is critical.

Affidavits & Real Estate Disclosures
From Affidavits of Non-Foreign Status to Occupancy Declarations and Statement of Information forms, I assist with notarizing time-sensitive documents that title companies and escrow officers depend on to keep deals moving.

Recording Services with the County Recorder’s Office
If your client doesn’t have time to record their deed, I offer
real estate notary courier services to the Los Angeles or Orange County Recorder’s Office. This ensures that important documents like trust transfer deeds are recorded efficiently and correctly.

Mobile Notary Services for Urgent or Off-Hours Signings
Not every transaction fits a 9-to-5 schedule. Whether your client is traveling, hospitalized, or working irregular hours, I provide flexible
mobile notary services for real estate documents at their home, office, or care facility.

💡A Behind-the-Scenes Partner You Can Count On

Unlike a traditional notary, a mobile notary for real estate travels directly to your client, whether they’re at home, work, or another convenient location. This saves time, reduces stress, and allows your clients to get documents signed without interrupting their schedule.

I also work closely with title officers, escrow agents, and estate planning attorneys to ensure that documents are notarized and delivered without delay. My goal is to be a seamless part of your real estate support team.

Because Who You Work with Really Does Matter

Realtors like Erika Farmer know that the professionals they partner with reflect directly on their brand and client experience. That’s why I focus on being punctual, professional, and detail-oriented—treating your clients with the same level of care as you do.

Need someone you can count on for last-minute signings, off-site appointments, or document recordings? I’ve got you covered. Let’s connect and see how I can help make your next transaction smoother for both you and your client.
