I’m frequently asked, “what are the exact supplies you need to be a loan signing agent and where can I get them?”
It should be no surprise that the answer is Amazon! I mean, what don't they sell!?
I buy almost all of my supplies from Amazon. Paper, ink, and even my printer. So, now that you know where I personally buy my supplies, let me show you exactly what you need. And don't worry, I provide links below should you need them! Before I get started on what supplies you need, remember there is no need to overpay for your supplies. Your supplies won't win you any more business. Nobody will care if your notary stamp has an LED flashlight attached to it or has the most advanced self inking device. The items I list below are the most practical that I’ve found. So, let's start off with the actual notary stamp. Amazon can get it made for $14. That's right. Less than 15 bucks! Simply order it and they’ll guide you on how to get your exact stamp for your state.

I'm constantly asked, “Mark, can you really make $100,000 a year as a notary loan signing agent? And if so, how is it possible?”
First and foremost — yes, yes, and yes!! 100%.
So let's break it down. First, let’s talk about how you get there mathematically. If we use the industry average of $150 per signing... $100,000 divided by $150 signing fee equals 667 signings that you would need to accomplish in one calendar year. More specifically, you'd need to do about 13 signings a week. Yes, you read that right. To make six figures as a notary public loan signing agent, you only need to do 13 loan signings a week.

If You're a Real Estate Agent, You Have the Ability to Create a Big Additional Stream of Income by Becoming a Notary Loan Signing Agent.
Why?
Because transitioning into the loan signing business is easier for you than for nearly everyone else... and since you already work in the industry, learning how to do a loan signing is a piece of cake. And even more importantly, you have easy access to the two biggest sources of loan signings: escrow officers and mortgage officers. See, it works like this... As a real estate agent, you are at the top of the real estate food chain because everyone in the industry wants to win YOUR business. Think about it — at every real estate networking event, the real estate agent is the prize attendee. Home contractors, real estate attorneys, and insurance agents perk up their ears when they find out you’re a real estate agent. But there are two professionals in specific who are dying to meet you... and those two professionals just so happen to have the ability to give you loan signing business immediately. They are escrow officers and mortgage loan officers. Why Do Escrow Officers & Loan Officers Want to Meet Real Estate Agents So Badly?
The answer is simple.
Because:
And if you become a notary loan signing agent, knowing these facts and learning how to leverage them will allow you to get the loan signings you want in order to supplement your income.

I'm frequently asked, "how much do part-time notary loan signing agents and full-time notary loan signing agents make on a monthly basis?"The Notary Loan Signing Agent "Side Hustle"
Becoming a notary loan signing agent is one of the best part-time income opportunities.
Being a notary loan signing agent as your "side hustle" allows you to start part-time with no experience, work your own hours, and make great money! In fact, Joshua Dorkin, the CEO of Bigger Pockets (the most downloaded real estate podcast in the United States) said "this is one of the better side hustles" he has seen in the real estate industry. That's certainly good news to hear straight from the mouth of such a credible entrepreneurial source. But just how much money can you make per month as a part-time loan signing agent? And if you wanted to go full-time, what is your income potential? This blog will answer those questions for you. Notary Loan Signing Agents Make $75 to $200 per Appointment
The monthly potential income for a notary loan signing agent varies significantly depending on how you get your loan signing appointments. To learn more about this, check out my other blog that explains the difference, but to summarize — notary loan signing agents who typically get loan signing jobs offered to them automatically through loan signing services are paid between $75 and $125 per signing appointment.
Notary loan signing agents who primarily get loan signing jobs directly from escrow offices earn much more — between $125 and $200 per signing appointment.
Read my blog on the differences between the two ways of getting business.
To understand the income potential of being a loan signing agent, let’s assume that the average fee you would get for signing service appointments is $100, and $150 if you received those appointments directly from escrow offices.

I'm Frequently Asked, "Should I Get the NNA Membership? Is it Worth It?"
As a signing agent, it is imperative that you have as many tools as possible to succeed!
Imagine you are filling out a notarization on a deed of trust and the notarial verbiage does NOT look familiar? Or what if a lender asked you to do something that you are not sure is even legal for a notary to do? Or maybe you received an out-of-state loan signing assignment from a signing service and you see a loan document you’ve never seen before and need help understanding it in REAL-TIME (I’m talking in the middle of your signing, real-time)? What do you do? Who do you call for the answers? If you had an NNA membership, you would just pick up the phone and call (they are open 5am to 7pm pacific Monday-thru Friday and 7am to 5pm pacific on Saturdays)! The NNA membership is a signing agent's best friend and this is why I recommend all signing agents (especially new signing agents) get the NNA membership!

Step out of your front door — each and every building you see needed a notary public. Literally. Not a single home closed WITHOUT one. 
Now I want you to take a guess... how many of those homes would you say have a mortgage? And how many will be sold again or refinanced in the future? The answer is almost all of them.
And a notary public loan signing agent makes $75 to $150 on every last one. That's a ton of business for a notary public who becomes a loan signing agent.
Here are some numbers I want you to think about:
There are 13.9 million homes in the state of California... but only 160,000 California notary publics. And of that 160,000, only a fraction are educated loan signing agents. But even if they were, there are still WAY more homes than there are notaries! Ratios similar to this one exist in most states across the nation. So why does this matter? Because it shows that the notary loan signing business is one of those rare industries in which the client (escrow officer, mortgage officer, real estate agent, etc.) needs a loan signing agent more than the loan signing agent needs them.

I'm often asked, “I know I need to get the Loan Signing System Certification AND the NNA's Certification, but what which one should I get first?”
The answer depends on whether you're a beginner notary loan signing agent or not.

I often receive questions like the following — “Mark, I am in XYZ state. Does your loan signing agent course and certification work where I live?"
The answer is: ABSOLUTELY yes!
There are successful Loan Signing System students making money as notary loan signing agents in all 50 states right at this very moment. How is this possible? Because believe it or not, Wells Fargo, Chase, and Bank of America don't make a different set of loan documents for each state... 50 separate versions of the exact same thing would be crazy. You see, loan documents are no more than a (rather wordy) contract between the borrower and the bank. And surprisingly, these contracts are essentially the same across the nation. Are there a couple forms that differ slightly from state to state? Sure. But this shouldn't be cause for worry — because the beauty of the Loan Signing System method of walking borrowers through loan documents is that it teaches you how to go over the paperwork without having the borrower read every single line. So It Doesn't Matter Where You Live. You Can Learn How to Be a Successful Notary Signing Agent Too.
This is because Loan Signing System's unique strategy for going over loan documents and escrow documents is not limited to any single bank or state. It applies to them all.
Meaning, if you run into a form that wasn't covered in the course, you will still know how to present it to the borrower. Without ever having seen it before. So if you live in Iowa and come across a few unfamiliar items in a set loan documents from a bank in Oregon, no sweat. The approach I teach in Loan Signing System helps you make money in this industry without needing to be an expert in loan document language. And here's another helpful nugget of information... Mortgage terminology is nearly identical in every state. Whether you're in Nevada or Wyoming, a bank note is a bank note — and Loan Signing System's training includes an entire glossary of verbiage and definitions you need to know. What About the Loan Documents that DO Vary According to State?
One example of state-to-state variations in the loan signing industry is title documentation. Title companies draw forms which disclose closing costs and fees. Though these forms contain the same information nationwide, they may look different from state to state. And regardless of which one you call home, you'll need to learn how to explain those closing costs to a borrower. This is just one of the many valuable skills you'll learn in Loan Signing System's five star-rated online training.
See what I mean? Where you live doesn't have to affect your ability to execute a loan signing. The point I'm trying to make is that efficient notary loan signing agents operate according to a set of principles — principles that you can learn step-by-step while practicing with REAL loan documents when you become a Loan Signing System student. And because banks do not print 50 different versions of their loan documents, you now know that the set you'll receive in my course is very similar to the ones that are signed by hundreds of borrowers every single day in your state. Whether you're in Michigan, Texas, or Washington, it's a smart idea to get a notary loan signing agent mentor. A good industry mentor is someone who can teach you the most time-effective and professional way to go through a set of loan documents, and then how to market yourself to get repeat business from the highest-paying clients. Loan Signing System does exactly that. It provides specific, hands-on, real world training that thousands of notary loan signing agents across the nation have used to make hundreds or even thousands of extra dollars every month. And you can too — regardless of experience level or location within the United States. I'm Mark, I teach Loan Signing System, and I can teach you how to be a notary loan signing agent in your state today!

I am frequently asked why notary loan signing agents are paid anywhere between $75 and $200 per hour-long appointment.
What is a Notary Public Loan Signing Agent?
A notary public loan signing agent is a notary public who walks a borrower through a set of loan documents when they purchase or refinance their home. A loan signing agent ensures that the borrower has filled out their mortgage paperwork properly — making certain each document is signed, dated, or notarized appropriately.
And here's the best part... As a loan signing agent, you don't get paid an annual, monthly, or hourly salary, you get paid (typically between $75 and $200) for each loan signing appointment (or job) you complete. And with the right training, it usually takes about an hour to walk through the documents with a borrower from start to finish. Boom. Job done.
