How To Make Six-Figures As A Mobile Real Estate Notary

In a recent episode of the Freedom Chasers Six-Figure Strategies Podcast, Amy Seitz, owner and creator of Cyberize, shared how she built a six-figure business as a virtual notary without leaving her office. Amy had been a notary for over 20 years without marketing it until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. She fell into the job of being a real estate notary but found it too laborious and decided to do it all online. This decision opened up her customer base internationally overnight.
To become a notary, one needs to be 18 years or older, a resident or employed in the state, and have a clean background check. After getting a commission, one can start performing the Notarial act for the people that one is in person with to do real estate. Amy recommends getting a certification to do the documents as it shows the higher quality and formal education. The price of the course varies, starting from $70 to over $500, and one can learn from various places such as the National Notary Association or private individuals such as Loan Signing Systems or Notary to Notary to Pro.

Our interview delved into the process of online notarization, which involves a person connecting with a notary electronically through an enhanced audio-video session to electronically sign documents. This method is preferred in cases where there is a timing conflict, preference, or medical incapacity to meet with someone physically. The process of online notarization requires the signer to go through a quiz and upload images of their ID, which undergoes a thorough crypto analysis to validate the information. In addition, the signer has to go through a live video session with the notary, who confirms that the IDs and the signer's face match. The validation of a signer is different from the traditional method, as the quiz is timed and may include questions from USA Public records.

Amy notes that the hardest part of online notarization is validating the signer. She highlights that there may be cases where people don't look like their ID and that a gut feeling may be necessary. They emphasize the importance of asking questions, and how it can lead to people confessing. Additionally, the speaker advises anyone wanting to become a virtual notary to learn the laws and know other states' laws, as well as the different methods of ID verification available.

Amy's success in building a six-figure business as a virtual notary demonstrates the viability of online notarization as a growing industry. With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing many businesses to shift to digital platforms, online notarization has become an essential service for people who need to sign legal documents from the comfort of their homes. The benefits of online notarization include convenience, speed, and accessibility, which can be a major selling point for clients.
In conclusion, Amy Seitz's experience as a virtual notary provides valuable insights into the process of online notarization. As the world becomes more digital, the demand for virtual notaries is likely to increase. Therefore, learning the laws and methods of ID verification available can be valuable for anyone looking to become a virtual notary.
