Errors and Omissions Insurance, also known as E&O Insurance, is liability coverage that is created to protect the notary loan signing agent’s personal and professional assets if a mistake is made during the notarial process that causes the client to suffer financial loss.Why Would You as Notary Public Loan Signing Agent Need Errors and Omissions Insurance if You Don't Plan on Making Mistakes?
This is a great (and incredibly valid) question, especially because notary public loan signing agents take their business, professionalism, and attention to detail very seriously in this industry.
So allow me to explain. The first thing to understand is that loan signing agents are first and foremost, notary publics — and as such, can be held personally liable for the full amount of damages caused by any wrongdoing that happens. Whether that wrongdoing is intentional or not. As a notary public loan signing agent, there are a lot of mistakes that can be made accidentally. Frankly, it's why we get paid so much money. However, if you are found liable for a mistake that occurs during a loan signing appointment, you will need to pay whatever the judgment dictates as well as the legal fees needed to defend yourself. This is why there is Errors and Omissions Insurance — also called E&O Insurance.

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% it's possible to make $100,000 a year as notary public loan signing agent!
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 loan signings that you would need to accomplish in one calendar year. More specifically, you'd need to do about 13 loan 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...

Table of Contents:I'm often asked, “What is the difference between an escrow state and an attorney state as it relates to notary loan signing agents?”
As a mentor to over 10,000 notary public business owners in every state across the United States, I have seen signing agents build successful businesses in both escrow states and attorney states.
The most common questions I hear are:
But before I can answer any of those questions, let’s first define the difference between an escrow state and attorney state (also known as a 'no-escrow' state).
Definition of an Escrow State
Put simply, in an escrow state (sometimes known as a non-attorney state), an escrow company directs the closing of a real estate transaction. Whether it be between a buyer and seller or a lender and borrower, the escrow company is the neutral third party playing quarterback to the transaction.
One of the many duties of the escrow company in a real estate transaction is choosing where to outsource various components of the closing process — including selecting and hiring the notary public loan signing agent that performs the loan document signing appointment.
Definition of an Attorney State
In an attorney state, an attorney takes the place of the escrow company. It is an attorney who facilitates the closing process and either acts as the third neutral party or represents the buyer or seller. However, the main difference between the attorney and the escrow company is that a large portion of the closing process is handled in-house.
So what does that mean for notary loan signing agents?...
