Mobile Notary / Signing Agent
Mobile notaries and signing agents travel to clients to notarize documents; signing agents specialize in real-estate loan packages.
What They Do
Mobile notaries travel to clients for notarizations. Signing agents additionally handle real-estate loan document packages — printing, walking signers through them, and returning completed packages.
Why someone might consider this career
It's a flexible, appointment-based business built on top of a notary commission, with per-appointment fees. It depends on local real-estate activity and your state's rules.
