How to Get Direct Business as a Loan Signing Agent

If you’re tired of chasing low-fee assignments through apps and signing services, it’s time to level up. The highest-paid PA Notary Signing Agents don’t wait on SnapDocs alerts—they build direct relationships with title companies.

It’s time to get off the signing service hamster wheel and build a real notary business—one that pays you $150–$250 per file, respects your time, and grows on referrals.

Why Direct Business Pays Better (and Builds Faster)

When you work through a signing service, you’re the middleman’s middleman. You often:

Make 40–60% less than what the title company is paying
Wait weeks to get paid
Have no relationship with the people who hire you

When you go direct, you negotiate your rate, get paid faster, and get called first when last-minute signings pop up. It’s not about being the cheapest—it’s about being the most professional.

Step 1: Build a Google Business Profile

This is your digital storefront. Clients in your area are already searching “mobile notary near me” or “loan signing agent in Harrisburg.” If you’re not showing up, you’re invisible.

Your listing should include:

Business name that includes “Mobile Notary” and your service area
Photos of you in action (no stock images)
List of services: refinances, buyer packages, reverse mortgages, apostilles
Online booking link or phone number

Start with 3–5 five-star reviews from clients, agents, or attorneys you’ve worked with—even if they weren’t direct signings.

Step 2: Email Title Companies the Right Way

Don’t send spammy mass emails. Craft thoughtful, specific messages that showcase what you offer—and how you make their life easier.

🔥 Hot Tip: Send a clean, branded one-pager PDF with your contact info, commission dates, E&O, and service areas. Make it easy to remember you.

Step 3: Deliver a Signing Packet In Person

If you’re local, create a few “notary intro kits” and physically drop them off at:

Title offices
Law firms that handle real estate
Real estate brokerages

Include:

Intro letter or short cover note
Your branded notary business card
A notary checklist or flyer explaining your services

Even if they don’t need you today, your name will be top of mind when someone calls out or needs a favor.

Step 4: Be Ready to Overdeliver

Once you get your first direct file, don’t play it safe—play it memorable. Drop the docs off the same day, send a clean confirmation email, and ask if there’s anything else they need. They’ll remember you for the next 10 files, too.
