Recommendation for Carol:
When I decided to become a signing agent, I went to the National Notary Association website to find a trustworthy company to obtain my training and certification. Notary2Pro was the clear standout and I knew I was in good hands within minutes of contacting Carol. The comprehensive methodology she has compiled based on her years of experience, in conjunction with her nurturing warmth, patience and genuine kindness sent me forth with a sense of confidence that I wouldn't otherwise have had. I can't recommend this company enough and easily do so whenever anyone asks me how to get started. If you want to be the best - learn from the best and that's Notary2Pro!

Carol,
Thank you very much. The course was excellent! I started doing Signings back in 2005 when I was laid off and continued to do so until I took a job in 2006. I was just laid off again earlier this year. After nearly 30 years in the IT field working for Fortune 100 companies (e.g.: IBM and AT&T) and with the jobs being moved off-shore at an accelerated pace (including mine), I have decided to leave IT and go back to my signing career.
I have been personally responsible for handling multi-million dollar transactions and support for applications that multi-billion dollar firms relied on for their businesses to function. I understand how important every detail is and how legal technicalities can come into play. I have worked closely with people from all over the world on a daily basis, both as a peer and direct employee.
I took the course to ‘bring myself up to speed’. I had no idea how much my ‘training’ in 2005 lacked. I truly appreciate the attention you obviously paid to putting this course together.
Thank you again.

When I decided four months ago to become a notary signing agent, I promptly signed up for a national certification course and, soon thereafter, passed their exam. However, upon completion of that course, I realized I knew just enough to be totally dangerous to myself and others. A little background: I come from a family of renters, and I'm the first one in my immediate family to own a home. Real estate and loan terms were so foreign to me, I barely knew what escrow was.
What to do? What wild hair got into me to make me think I could be a signing agent in the first place? I had no clue how to put theory into practice. I pored over my own home loan papers to try to walk myself through the package, but I was still in the dark.
I then discovered Carol Ray's Notary2Pro. Okay, prospective signing agents: do not hesitate, do not walk, *run* to sign up for this course. If you want a solid grounding in the document signing process and hands-on experience, Notary2Pro is, bar none, the way to go. Carol is an ideal mentor: knowledgeable, effective, accessible, and professional. Her materials are comprehensive, clear, and organized; the sample documents with notes are a godsend. Not only does Carol walk you through a loan signing--complete with "script" and how to weave the "story" together, she also tells you the pros and cons of the signing agent business, helps the new signing agent with setting up the biz, takes you through that first call from a signing service, offers fabulous resources, and gives you the inside scoop like only a seasoned veteran can.
I've gone from not knowing what a HUD-1 is to eagerly anticipating my first signing. Carol's course has given me the knowledge and the confidence that I can do this. I'm so excited about my new career, and I cannot thank Carol Ray enough.
Feel free to email me if you want to chat about the course. I'm more than happy to talk to you about my experience with Notary2Pro. I also plan to take the advanced course as soon as I can. I've absolutely no regrets. These classes are well worth every penny.
Sincerely,

I am so excited to be an official Signing Agent and a graduate of Notary2Pro, whoo-hoo!! The course is amazing! Very informative, the sections are not too long, and the teaching is very clear and easy to follow. You have such a pleasant and clear teaching voice that at times it felt like you were right in my office! I almost forgot that I was listening to an audio and was ready to raise my hand and ask 'you' a question (LOL!) I love the way take your students step by step, from setting up our office, to how to dress, to how to answer our phone, to returning the documents to the lender. I also appreciate how you occassionally say, 'This is very important' or 'You need to be aware of....' I immediately knew that this was a critical piece of information that could possibly mean either success or failure for me as a signing agent, and I needed to pay attention. The 'sticky notes' on the documents helps draw our attention to pertinent information on the document samples and even helped me to pass the exam. Carol, you covered a LOT of information in a clear, easy to understand way, and in a relatively short period of time. It's clear to me that you are highly knowledgeable about loan closings and it's also clear that you are committed to helping your students to succeed. (Sidebar: When you tell us to be upbeat, friendly, and smile when speaking on the phone, I can tell from our phone conversation today that you personally practice what you preach!) I just finished listening to the audio training, and I learned something about notarizing that I thought I already knew. I need to arm myself with as much information that you have so graciously made available because Carol, I want to learn how to do this thing right. I refuse to be a raggedy & wrong signing agent, who shows up 3 hours late, wearing flip-flops and a halter top with my belly hanging out, drenched with a gallon of perfume, throw some papers at the borrowers, tell them to hurry & sign them, and send them back to the lenders via snail mail. I believe that the best way to succeed at something is to listen to the people who have already experienced success in it. That would be you.
A satisfied customer, perpetual learner, and a proud Notary2Pro graduate,

Notary2Pro was the best online training I have ever had. As a teacher and real estate broker, I have had the opportunity to take many classes live and online. The program was very clear with step-by-step instructions. The situations were realistic and meaningful. The language used in the program was appropriate and not filled with "industry buzz words." Best money I've spent on training in 20 years.

Hello,
I wanted to inform you that I have recently completed the Notary2Pro Certified Signing Agent Course, along with the Beyond the Basics Course also provided by Notary2Pro. I found both of these courses to be well put together, and the training materials were exceptional. Prior to taking the Notary2Pro training courses, I had taken two other courses with agencies I will not name, but I will tell you, that those courses pale in comparison to the Notary2Pro courses.
The Notary2Pro Courses actually take the guess work out of the duties and responsibilities of a Signing Agent. Both Notary and Signing Agent expectations are explained in detail, which is what everyone in this business needs. Since entering this field, I have learned that the training requirements are all over the place from state to state. There is very little consistency, which leaves room for numerous errors. It is very encouraging to see that someone has come up with a professional standard that all Signing Agents and Notaries should adhere to.
An added benefit to completing the course, was receiving a phone call directly from Mrs. Carol Ray herself, letting me know that I had actually passed the course, and also discussing areas she felt I had trouble in. I couldn’t believe the instructor of a course offered nationally was so passionate about the success of her students. It has only added to the pride I take in having successfully completed the course, and becoming a Notary2Pro Certified Signing Agent.
Sincerely,

1: “Carol Ray is a phenomenal teacher and counselor. As a graduate of Notary2Pro, she was very instrumental in helping me be a certified loan signing agent. Carol is always there when you need her to assist along the way. She is a great mentor. I highly recommend Carol Ray and Notary2Pro.” ~ Sheri Falzone sheri@michiganclosingsandmore.com
2: “I would absolutely recommend Notary 2 Pro training. The sample docs are priceless! I also receive support whenever I need it. It’s getting training and a mentor all in one.” Tara Perry - CSA Email: professionalsignings@gmail.com
3: “To anyone who is apprehensive about signing up for the Notary2Pro Course, don’t be! I got certified by one of the big notary companies who offer training and certification. I took and passed the course and thought I was well prepared until I did my first signing! Then I realized how little I really knew and was desperate to get some REAL training. I found Notary2Pro and am so glad I did! I have so much more confidence now. You don’t just get the Online Course, you get a real mentor who has been in the business for a long time. Carol and I have spoken often and she has emailed me just as often. It’s very comforting to know I can ask her something without being ridiculed! Shirley Ann Koch, Winter Park, Florida, Phone: 407--562-8272, E-mail: shirleyannkoch@hotmail.com
4: I took a signing agent course, passed the test and received my certificate. What next? I had NO idea. I tried to see if I could go with another signing agent to a signing and see how it's done but no one was interested in helping me. I was pretty much done with the whole idea. Then I received the hot tip to take Carol's Notary2Pro course. I am SO glad I did. The course, the audio, the extra tips, detail and examples were so helpful. I felt I was ready when the call came to do a signing. I was nervous but once I got there I really felt comfortable. I knew what I was doing. And.....if I didn't, I knew Carol was there to help me. Her course gave me the confidence I needed. I'm so excited!” September 30, 2011 Tracey Parish, Notary Public. Email: TParish@firstcal.net
5: "Carol has created a very unique and viable business concept with Notary2Pro. The program truly models her spirit. Dedicated, resourceful, professional, and personable. After intensely searching for a trustworthy and knowledge base program with sound integrity of the content offered, I found Notary2Pro. At about 2am in the morning I told my wife that I finally found a course with every thing I was looking for. Something more than just the basics. Notary2Pro was actually the only course I found worth actually investing in because 1) Carol's extensive knowledge and experience as a highly regarded Escrow Officer, 2) her own background as a very successful Loan Signing Specialist, and 3) her passion for teaching and ensuring her students understand the importance of the process and the documents they are working with. Out of all the courses out there, Notary2Pro is honestly the best and only one of its kind. I recommend Notary2Pro for every aspiring Notary Public and Loan Signing Specialist." John L Savage Jr. Email: johnsavage@sasnotary.com
7: “I wish this information was available when they took my money to become an SA. This course was very enlightening! I will look and listen to the class again before my time is up. I am so happy that your former student posted it on Notary Rotary so I could find you. Kathleen Otting, Email: Konotary@bellsouth.net
8: “Carol, your Course is wonderful! It is exactly what any loan signer would need to take to get started and to become successful. It gave me all of the information I needed and I didn’t feel that I got ripped off for the fee. It was worth every penny. Thank you for taking the time to design a course that is both crucial and beneficial. Talk to you soon.”

Hi Carol, Thank YOU so much for helping me out with the last notary info request! We have had a very positive experience with every one of the notaries we have received from your company and we really appreciate you sending us more excellent notaries to add to our database. We hope to work with you and your graduates again soon! Thanks again, Jenny, Universal Document www.udxdirect.com
10: Becoming a Notary Public is easy. Running an Independent Loan Signing business takes more knowledge. Carol Ray offers you the information and support necessary to operate professionally and maximize profits. Save yourself the embarrassment and damage control of going into the field unprepared. Take the Notary2Pro course. I would be a bargain at any price. Ira Horn ~ Email: ira@YourSigner.com
11: “Carol, is very energetic and very knowledgeable. She is also a very good loan closer and has decided to share her experience with other potential closers. The schooling that she and her husband started is an excellent resource for new nationwide notaries and has a very good reputation in the industry. I would highly recommend hiring a student from this school because you can be guaranteed this person will be a pro in a short time. Frank Amari, President, Speedy Closing & Title Services, Inc.
12: “If you are looking for a Detailed and thorough Loan signing Course, Notary2Pro is the course to take. I took several Notary/Loan Signing courses and did not get anything out of them.The Notary2Pro course is specifically designed to create a comfort-ability about conducting a Loan Signing. Since Carol Ray is a Loan Signer herself, she keeps her students abreast on the latest changes in our Industry. Notary2Pro's mentoring program was totally worth the money because it is designed to provide Loan Signing students with personal guidance. You can always email or call with questions. If Notary2Pro can not answer your question, they will research it to provide you with the correct information. I never met someone so dedicated to educating people.” February 5, 2011 ~ Andrea Parise ~ parise.andrea@hotmail.com
13: This is from a personal recommendation from one title company to another: Carol Ray is one of the best signers I’ve ever used. I’ve been doing this for over 13 years and can rely on Carol for the last minute signings and the signings that require an extra ability to sooth the customers that might be upset with how long the process has taken with the lender. She has more experience than many of the signers I’ve used in the past all put together. She also stops and calls if there are any issues she cannot explain, which is rare because she’s probably seen it all. **Matt Olsen, Escrow Officer and Branch Manager, US Title Agency, Scottsdale, Arizona.
