A closing is a stack of documents that only become valid once they are witnessed and stamped. Deeds, powers of attorney, affidavits. Red Star Mobile Notary handles that side of it, and handles it wherever the signing needs to happen rather than wherever the notary happens to be.
In her own words: "I am available after hours, holidays, and online 24/7 for urgent or last minute notary needs. I have a verifiable quick response time and I am always on time."
That matters in a transaction more than it does anywhere else. Closings move, sellers relocate before the paperwork is done, and a document that has to be signed today cannot wait for Monday morning.
Why would I need a notary during a closing?
Because a closing is a stack of documents that must be witnessed and stamped, and several of them are worthless without it. Deeds, powers of attorney and affidavits all need a notary present at signing.
What does a mobile notary change?
Where the signing happens. A seller who has already moved out of state, a buyer who cannot get to the title office, an elderly owner who cannot travel. The notary goes to them instead.
Can a signing happen after hours or at a weekend?
Yes, and that is the specialism here. Available after hours, on holidays, and online around the clock for urgent or last-minute signings.
What if the seller is out of state or overseas?
Red Star is a registered remote online notary, so a document can be notarized over video and used anywhere in the United States. For documents going abroad, apostille services are also offered.
What is an apostille and when does it come up in property?
An apostille certifies a document for use in another country. It comes up with foreign buyers and sellers, inherited property abroad, and powers of attorney signed overseas. It is a separate step after notarization and most notaries do not handle it.
What areas are covered?
Sarasota and Charlotte counties in person, and the whole United States as a remote online notary.
