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.
