Inauguration Eve and Inauguration Special
Tomorrow Barack Obama will become our new President of the United States. It's an exciting time here in America. I don't plan to do a lot of work today, but I am willing to do some quick Notary work on Tuesday if someone needs it badly enough. My main goals on Tuesday, January 20, 2009, though, are to watch the inauguration on TV, to have some fun watching the parties on TV at home, and to learn my lines for my acting class on Wednesday night. I'm playing Felix in the play, "The Owl and the Pussycat", and I have a lot of lines to remember! I'm excited about having a new President, I'm excited that I'm going to get to perform something new in my class, and I'm excited about the great year that I'm going to have with Notary business in Hollywood! Help support me! Call David at (323)393-5822 if you need a Notary any time this year. Mention "The Inauguration Special" and get $5 off the travel fee to your home or business! Valid thru the end of January, 2009, but you MUST mention it to get it!

A Notary Needs Sleep, Too!
Sometimes I am such a workaholic that I forget that I need to rest! I mean, while I do get plenty of time to rest, I never want to go to sleep at a decent hour. They say that you need 8 hours of sleep to be really healthy. That's what I'm going to strive for from now on, whether I need to go to bed earlier or sleep late!

I Catch Another Notary's Mistakes
Someone called me for my California Apostille Service over the weekend. He had 3 documents that had been notarized by a Notary Public that he used a few days ago. This Notary completed a "Certification Of Copy By Document Custodian" for 3 documents of the client. This Notary made a whole bunch of mistakes.
The first mistake that I noticed was that 2 of the notarized documents did not have the complete Notary seal- the seal of the State of California was totally missing from one of them. Also, I noticed that the client- the person who was certifying the copy of the documents- had not even signed the documents. Not one. Finally, I noticed that the Jurat statement on the documents said, "Personally known to me or proved to me on the basis of satisfactory evidence...." Apparently the Notary had not heard about the new Notary laws that went into effect in California on January 1, 2008. Needless to say, I had to help this client out with more things than he had planned. This is just one example of how it really is important for Notaries to keep up with their training, and to always be aware of the laws and practices. It also shows that just because someone is a Notary Public doesn't mean that they know what they are doing. Frankly, if I were choosing a Notary Public or any other professional, I would want to use one who I would be fairly sure that they know what they are doing.
I'm a full-time Notary Public, I'm in the National Notary Association, and I perform Notary work each and every week- if I don't do any Notary work during the week, then I'm out of town on vacation. I don't let my Notary skills get stale- I work at it. I always check and double-check my work before I release it to my clients. If I ever encounter some situation where I'm not sure of the procedure in performing a notarization, I consult my Notary handbook (from the NNA), the NNA or a Notary friend.

Save Money on Escrow When Purchasing A Home or Refinancing in Los Angeles County?
If you are looking to purchase a new home or refinance your home today in Los Angeles County, you can save yourself a few bucks. How does saving between $35 and $85 sound to you? You can do a lot with $35 - take yourself and 1 other person out to a casual dinner, or buy Fatburgers for 4.
All escrow companies work with signing companies, which find Notary Signing Agents, like myself, to go to the homes of clients to sign their loan paperwork. These signing companies are paid through escrow and typically charge borrowers $150 to $200 per signing, or more- up to $300 for a signing.
Well, consider this: when it comes to getting your paperwork signed and notarized, YOU, the buyer/borrower, have the power to choose your Notary Signing Agent. Did you know that?
If you are looking to buy a new house or to refinance, you can call David at Hollywood Notary.Net at (323)393-5822 beforehand, and arrange this deal: tell your escrow company that you want to use Hollywood Notary.Net for your loan signing agent service. I will call your escrow company and arrange to receive the documents. I will preside over your loan signing for $115 for documents that I print myself, or for $95 for documents that are overnighted by the lender.
