Accredited Signing Agent

An Accredited Signing Agent is a Notary Public with indepth training in real estate documents and how they are executed by The Notary Academy. There are many organizations that do this. But not all are the same.

The basic definition of a "Signing Agent" is a Notary Public who handles the execution and notarization of mortgage, refinancing and real estate transactions in the Commonwealth of PA. This designation of "Signing Agent" is now being used widely. And it varies from state to state and unfortunately from Notary to Notary. Our course is an in depth training program in these real estate documents and how they are executed. There are many organizations that do this. But not all are the same. They vary in education; training and most are not consistent with PA law.

Our certification course focuses only on PA law. We teach a Notary Public what they can and can not do during a real estate transaction. All of our seminars and courses are taught by experienced providers in their fields. And this class is no different. Title agents, settlement officers and ASAs are the main sources for this course. Their experience and success in the business make this the best and most comprehensive course available for PA Notaries. They are successful as "Signing Agents" and share that knowledge and experience with you, unlike educators who only teach the subject.

This course includes;

  • ASA workbook.
  • Reference materials.
  • Complete mortgage package.
  • Marketing Secrets book.
  • Webpage at PA Notary Public.
  • Listing in PA Signing Agents.
  • Email Address at PA Signing Agents or PA Notary Public.
  • Access to 24 hour hotline.

Trucks, cars, motorcycles and trailers, even boats, snowmobiles and ATV's. This part of our seminar teaches you how to set up your business and how to achieve approval from the entities involved. We will not only explain the procedures but make sure you are informed on the laws involved.
