Staying “Covid Safe”

As a traveling notary public in Encino, California, I had to adjust to the new normal of business. I always arrive at my notary appointments with a facial mask on. Additionally, I carry hand sanitizer for myself and my clients. Furthermore, we maintain social distancing for the vast majority of the appointment. Finally, a friendly nod or bow has now replaced the traditional handshake.

I’m happy to accommodate my clients needs and requests. Either meeting outside in their backyard, wearing protective gloves or signing on a hood of a car. I always go above and beyond to make sure my clients are safe and happy.

I also help businesses with their clients. By taking important documents to their clients to sign and notarize, clients can avoid the risk of public spaces. Also, I can courier documents back to the business to make the transaction a one day ordeal.

Feel free to reach out to me if you need a safe way to notarize your documents. 818-578-5973 or email steven@fastnotaryservice.com.

Stay safe out there!

Traveling Encino Notary Public Journal Entry 4.14.17

Traveling Encino Notary Public Journal

Another week has come and gone as a Traveling Encino Notary Public. The loan signing side of my business has been rather slow. As a 24/7 mobile notary, it is important to have a wide pool of job sources. Whether it be attorneys, banker or escrow officer, a notary needs to continue to network. One thing I do focus on more than anything is online marketing. 90% of my business comes from people inquiring about notary publics near them. The rest is from Yelp, which I only maintain my free profile. (The cost of advertising on Yelp is  too high).

In addition to being a 24/7 notary public in Encino, Ca, I am also a tax preparer and an Independent LegalShield Associate. Preparing taxes is seasonal and helps cushion the slow times. LegalShield is a great way to build residual income. This is important for me since I am self-employed and have no vacations. With LegalShield I can have a small stream of income (goal to make it large) even during times when I am not actively working. We welcome any self-employed notary public to inquire more about it.

I am looking to network with other notary public’s.Referral work from another notary public is preferred over work from a signing company. I try not to work with signing companies. Signing companies are the middle men that take money away from notary publics. They rank high on search engines, bargin notary fees to a minimum and expect the notary to take the bottom barrel pricing.

Being a Mobile Notary in Encino, Los Angeles part 2

Notary in Encino- Networking

After presenting for my networking group, I found myself surprised. The positive feedback and questions made me realize a lot. That most people really don’t know the purpose of a notary public. They never knew so much was involved for being a notary. And what it takes to notarize a document properly. I truly felt like a professional Notary Public in Encino.

My networking group meets in Encino in one of the conference rooms where I take my notary clients. We meet every Tuesday morning @ 8 am to network and discuss networking activities. As the mobile notary in the group, I have also found out that no other notary joins networking groups, which was to my surprise. I believe networking is very vital for a mobile notary in Los Angeles and surrounding cities like Encino, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Beverly Hills and so on. Below is my previous post on being a notary. Enjoy!

It doesn’t happen often, but I do occasionally get asked, “How is it being a notary. I always answer honestly, it has its ups and downs. First of all, there are ten of thousands of notary publics in California alone, with hundreds joining the rank on a monthly basis. The cost to start up is well above $800.00 once you add up the cost of classes, test, bond, filing fee, E&O insurance, seal, journal, business cards, etc. When I started out work was very sparse and I was competing with a dozen notaries within my own neighborhood.

Experienced Notary Public

I can now say I am at a better position. With over 1,000 loan signings, having attended various networking events and groups, I have finally established a steady stream of notary business. Fast Notary Service mostly serves the Encino, Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, Studio City, Tarzana, and Beverly Hills areas. We always show up on time and professionally dressed. I make it a priority to leave my clients happy with my notary service.

Being a notary is interesting. My hours are random. I am my own boss (but also my own marketing person, receptionist, accountant, etc.). If I am not busy with notary work then I am busy with marketing and back office work. Since it’s tax season, I am currently working on my accounting. So there’s always something to do to better my business.

Mobile Notary Encino- Reaching out

Mobile Notary Encino- Let’s connect

I would love to network with my fellow mobile notary public entrepreneur’s and here’s why:

Never lose an opportunity for business. As a Mobile Notary Encino, I can only be at one place at a time. That’s why I refer clients to other notary public. Those notary public’s are in my network. It’s difficult to network with other notaries. Some don’t respond at all. Others that seem interested, fail to reach back. It’s disappointing to see other notary public’s be so hesitant to make that connection. As a Mobile Notary Public in Encino I don’t see other notary public’s as rivals. I see them as allies. They send me work, I pay them a referral fee. I send them work, they send me a referral fee. It’s better than what signing companies offer.

A working relationship with another notary helps both grow and prosper. Instead of competing with each other, we should banding together. The real threat to the notary public business are the “signing companies.” Signing companies are the unwanted middle men. Due to their low ball offers to notary public professionals on a national scale. Therefore, a fellow notary public is a great referral source. We don’t wait months to be paid. I pay my referral fee the moment the notary work is done.

Professional Notary Publics Unite!

There are hundreds of businesses in Encino. As a mobile notary public in Encino, I have plenty of work. The signing companies take the notary jobs from us. They pay us pennies on the dollar and make us wait months. Signing companies love to say “That’s what we pay.” Signing companies also tell us, “Other notary public’s take this much.” First of all, I work for myself. No one but me dictates what I charge. I do work with the few signing companies that pay fair fees. Maybe we all need to tell the signing companies to take a hike.

Being a Notary Public Sherman Oaks

Must be easy being a Notary Public Sherman Oaks

Being a Notary public Sherman Oaks has its ups and downs. There are tens of thousands of notary public’s in California. New notary public’s join every month. Start up costs is well over $800.00. There are many annual and monthly expenses. Competition with dozens of notary public’s locally. Many people think being a notary public is an easy job. But there are expenses, liabilities and hassles associated with being a professional notary.

Being a self employed notary public is difficult at first. There are notary public’s who charge too low. They don’t factor in their time and expenses. These notary public’s may have work, but end up making as much as a burger flipper. Add the competition of notary public’s who are employed at banks, attorney’s offices and PO Box mail centers. Therefore, most notary entrepreneurs will find it most difficult in the beginning.

Experienced Notary Public Sherman Oaks

I have learned a lot after several years and thousands of notarizations. I have finally established a steady stream of business. Fast Notary Service serves the Encino area. Our mobile notary services also covers Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, Studio City, Tarzana, and Beverly Hills areas. We always show up on time and professionally dressed. Some notary publics don’t dress professionally. There are some notaries that fail to see benefits of covering a smaller area. They don’t realize that they will encounter headaches with scheduling and timing. While chargining less sounds good, it ends up being your downfall.

Being a notary public is great. But does have it’s own weird hassles. My hours are random. I am my own boss. When notary work is slow, I busy myself with marketing and accounting. Since it’s tax season, I am currently working on my accounting. So there’s always something to do. While others complain about slow business, I find look at it as opportunity to grow.

Notary Public Sherman Oaks- Slow down in loan signings

Slow down in loan signings

Notary Public Sherman Oaks like myself, have noticed a slow down in signings for refi loans.  (Despite lowest rates http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-mortgage-rates-20170105-story.html) One cause is the stagnant wage (http://myrefinancetoday.com/does-fourth-quarter-gdp-foretell-a-slowdown-in-home-affordability#sthash.0Eq4UqTZ.dpbs) Perhaps there may be a pick up later in the year once loan applications have been processed. Until then, self-employed notary public’s need to diversify into other areas of the notary business. So suggestions of additional sides business for a Notary Public Sherman Oaks:

Bookkeeping- If you know accounting, then this would be the best side gig to add to your notary business. You can work on it at anytime, regardless of sporadic scheduling. It’s a consistant stream of income since bookkeepers charge on a month to month basis. A great way to stabilize your monthly income.

Wesbites/Desgin- If you know how to code and create websites or if you have an eye for web design, then this is also a great side gig that you can work around your notary schedule.

MLM- If you have a passion/believe in a MLM product or service, then add it to your notary services. MLM (multi level marketing) get a bad rap from the 90’s, which aren’t bad. For example, I’m also a LegalShield associate, a legal services plan. It’s comprehensive legal coverage and a lot of my notary clients have need for affordable legal help. These two things have great synergy, and takes no major additional effort to recommend LegalShield to my clients as I notarize their documents.

Let’s Connect!

That’s why I am reaching out to local business around me in hopes of acquiring more clients, rather than customers. Customers come and go, while a client is a business relationship that incurs repeat business. As a mobile notary based in Encino, Ca, I can travel as far north as Oxnard, as far east as Valencia, as far west as Santa Monica and as far south as Glendale. Additionally, I am a notary that is open 24/7. My office hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday thru Friday, closed Saturday and Sunday. I charge a small travel fee for mobile notary services, but please call for rates as they do vary on distance and time of travel (i.e. rush hour cost more time for me to travel, or if going further than the San Fernando valley). https://fastnotaryservice.com/services/
