BUYING A HOME ONLINE

Virtual Home Sales

A Review of Notary Cam

Buying a home might look a little different these days in the wake of a global pandemic. But thanks to virtual tools like Notary Cam -- a service that allows you to get your documents legally signed in minutes, the process has never been more seamless.

Property Improvement Enterprises had the chance to work with Notary Cam, and we can confirm they make the home closing process smooth from start to finish. 

How does the process work? It’s easy. You upload your documents, connect to a live notary and confirm your identity on a live face-face webcam. From there, you can electronically sign your documents, much like how Docusign works, and apply your e-notary seal. 

The day before closing, you provide a digital picture of your driver's license or passport. From there, Notary Cam runs a background check and pulls verification questionnaires from past addresses and company information. On the day of your closing, answer 4 of 5 verification questions correctly. You’ll receive a signature similar to docusign so you can begin e-signing the 30 signatures required for a real estate transaction. 

By far, the biggest pro of Notary Cam is that it reduces the turnaround time from days to hours. 

It also improves security with closing packages sent by encrypted email or secure API transfer. Notary Cam uses NNA Certified Notary Signing Agents trained on your workflow and scripts. It also allows for signers to be anywhere in the world even in a separate location.

Final verdict: Buying a home can feel intimidating, emotional, and overwhelming. But tools like Notary Cam not only expedite the process, but also make it less stressful. So you can focus on the exciting things, like decorating your dream home and making friends with new neighbors. 

Because the world we live in can feel stressful. But buying a new home doesn’t have to be!
