Emails and Websites
Written by Hazzaa Kassis   
In today's marketplace, websites have become a major player to our overall appearance. Companies do view your website (if you have one) to learn more about you. This allows you to give detailed information about yourself/company and your services. Whether you do business with signing services, title companies or lenders, your website will tell it all. Keep in mind the same rule applies to websites as it does to emails. Keep it short and professional. The longer the name, the harder it is to remember and the longer your email address will be. Create a contact us page where companies can contact you by email or phone; your location etc.

Sacramento – On Wednesday, the State Senate Appropriations Committee passed AB 886, a bill that will strengthen notary law and fight real estate fraud. “I am very pleased that this important legislation is moving forward,” said Assemblywoman Sharon Runner. “Real estate fraud is a serious problem and this legislation will save untold dollars now lost to fraud.” Essentially, AB 886 makes it easier to investigate unethical and criminal notaries public. In these types of cases, notaries aid and abet fraud by loaning their journal to a non-notary, by notarizing documents without all of the parties present or by failing to properly secure their journal and stamp.

LEWISTON, Maine -- A Lewiston city councilor has entered pleas of not guilty on charges of misusing his authority as a notary public.

The Maine Attorney General's Office said that Stavros Mendros, a former state legislator, signed off on petitions circulated in 2005 seeking a statewide referendum on a planned casino in Washington County without personally witnessing the circulator's signature.

A clerk at Lewiston District Court said Mendros' lawyer entered the pleas on his behalf on Tuesday.

State law requires that a notary public witness the signature of the person who circulates a petition for a statewide referendum.

 
Marketing
Written by Hazzaa Kassis   
As you have all come to realize United Notary Association of America proudly presents you with a new theme every month. With January out of the way, we all have a feeling of what this year is going to bring; less than perfect interest rates, meaning less signings and more competition. Some feel that the New Notary Signing Agents coming into the market everyday takes yet one more client away from them. Having said that, 'Marketing' should kick into high gear if we plan on continuing our business growth and or to stay in business at all.

The Notary Journal
Written by William Ponsot   
Just recently, I was startled out of a deep sleep by the ringing of my front doorbell on a  early Saturday morning. When I opened the door I was facing two New York City Police Detectives.
After introducing themselves and showing ID they asked to be invited in for a chat. We sat in the Living Room and they proceeded to ask a few general questions about my business, and then said “Do you remember working on July *** ? I replied that I probably had; but I needed to check my Journal to answer with any certainty.
