Why Real Estate Companies Should Use Online Notary Services

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Fast, convenient way to notarize deeds instead of in-person meetings
• NotaryLive specially certified by MISMO for mortgage deeds, deeds of trust
• Enhanced security like recorded sessions to validate transactions

Everyone in real estate uses notarization in the mortgage closing process; real estate agents, title companies, and lenders.

In the past, the real estate industry relied heavily on the slow and tedious process of in-person notarization.

Online notarization is now faster, easier, and more secure with services like NotaryLive.

NotaryLive and other online notary services increase efficiency. They let you notarize deeds and escrow documents remotely by audio/video, 24/7/365.

NotaryLive is MISMO-certified, giving us industry-level approval to handle remote online mortgage notarizations.

1. How can RON services help your real estate business?

Security

RON is not only more convenient; it is also more secure than most in-person notarization.

Remote online notaries work over a live audio/video feed on a computer or mobile device. Each session is recorded to verify the transaction and resolve disputes.

NotaryLive adds extra ID checks beyond what most in-person notaries perform.

First, the platform verifies the signer’s identity using a digital ID check.

Next, the signer must answer a series of identity questions.

These are knowledge-based questions. If the signer answers fewer than 4 of 5 correctly, the system declines the session.

After signers pass ID verification and security checks, they connect with a live notary by webcam.

The notary public will then use the I.D. on file to verify the person's identity.

As mentioned above, the fact that we are Certified MISMO Compliant is a testament to our security measures.

Convenience & Efficiency

The process of getting a document notarized online through NotaryLive is incredibly easy.

You no longer need to search for a “notary near me” to get a document notarized.

Upload your document, verify your identity, meet a notary by webcam, and download the notarized file.

With RON, scheduling and waiting for an in-person notary is becoming a thing of the past.

Instead, you can notarize online using your laptop, phone, or any device with a webcam. 

This approach is more convenient and practical. It saves time for closings and helps teams work faster. And in a fast-moving real estate market, that time can provide an advantage and a chance to make more sales.
