Certified Notary Signing Agent for Real Estate Documents

 Columbia SC Traveling Notary provides mobile loan-signing and real-estate document notarization throughout Columbia and surrounding communities. As a Certified Notary Signing Agent, Cole Barefoot can print document packages, verify signer identification, witness signatures, perform authorized notarial acts, provide scanbacks and return documents according to the hiring attorney, title company, lender or signing service’s instructions.

For South Carolina real-estate transactions, services are provided only as authorized by and under the supervision of a South Carolina-licensed attorney. For signings involving property located outside South Carolina, all services remain limited to notarization, document execution and document-handling instructions supplied by the hiring party.

South Carolina requires attorney supervision of real-estate and mortgage-loan closings. Columbia SC Traveling Notary does not act as the closing attorney, provide legal advice, explain loan terms, select documents or independently conduct a South Carolina real-estate closing.

When retained or authorized by the supervising South Carolina attorney, we may assist with document execution, notarization, scanbacks and document return according to that attorney’s instructions.

• The supervising attorney controls the South Carolina closing and provides the signing instructions. 
• We verify identification, witness signatures and perform authorized notarial acts as directed. 
• Questions about the transaction or meaning of documents are referred to the supervising attorney. 

South Carolina’s Supreme Court has repeatedly held that real-estate and mortgage-loan closings must occur under attorney supervision.

 When retained or authorized by the supervising South Carolina attorney, we can travel to the signer and assist with document execution according to the attorney’s instructions. 

• Traveling to the signer’s home, workplace, hospital or care facility

• Witnessing signatures and performing authorized notarial acts

We follow the supervising attorney’s instructions and do not answer legal questions or interpret the documents. Questions concerning the transaction, loan terms or legal effect of a document are immediately referred to the attorney.
