Hello Friends & Notaries:

Welcome to our new BAN (Bay Area Notary) Blog!

We know these are tough financial times. With this problematic market, many of our colleagues are leaving their part-time and full-time notary businesses to join other professions. Especially for Notary Signing Agents, our industry has been greatly impacted by budget restrictions on the part of lenders and signing agencies. To top it off, there just isn’t the volume of loans to be signed, compared to two years ago. Given the difficulty of staying afloat… we don’t blame them.

On the other hand, it’s challenging those of us who remain in the profession to update and adapt. We are forced to be more creative in our marketing and advertising. We renew our efforts to seek out professional contacts, reestablish our professional reputation, and review our business plans. If required, we may have to become flexible with our traveling fees and hours of service.

We are forced to adapt to a changing, struggling economy, while still providing excellent professional services. Professional notary services provide integrity, safety and security in personal and financial transactions. Especially in this distrustful, anxious financial climate, our role is more crucial than ever.

We hope this blog will serve as a support for those of you in the notary business, considering becoming a notary, or interested in the role of notaries.

Thank you,
Bay Area Notary
