Need Real Estate Documents Notarized?


Real estate has a remarkable ability to produce paperwork. Just when you think you've signed everything, someone finds another document. Whether you're buying, selling, refinancing, transferring property, or handling documents for property you own from another state, you may eventually hear: “We need this notarized.” That's where Markly: Online and Mobile Notary Service can help.


What Real Estate Documents May Need Notarization?


Depending on the transaction, notarization may be requested or required for documents such as:

  • Deeds

  • Mortgages

  • Affidavits

  • Powers of attorney

  • Seller documents

  • Certain closing documents

  • Property-related declarations or certifications


Not every document in a real estate transaction requires notarization, and the requirements vary according to the document and transaction. Your title company, lender, attorney, or closing agent should tell you which documents need notarization and how they need to be executed. The notary's job is to perform the requested notarial act—not to decide which documents your transaction requires.


Can a Mobile Notary Come to My Home for Real Estate Documents?


Absolutely. If you have paper documents or simply prefer an in-person signing, a mobile notary comes to you. Markly provides mobile notary service throughout Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Bunnell, Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, St. Augustine, and surrounding Northeast Florida communities.


Depending on location and availability, your appointment can take place at your home, office, title company, real estate office, or another mutually convenient location.

That's particularly helpful when a transaction has a deadline and driving around town searching for an available notary isn't how you'd planned to spend your afternoon.


I'm Selling Florida Property but I'm Out of State. Now What?


This is where Remote Online Notarization (RON) can be especially useful. Florida allows properly commissioned and registered online notaries to perform eligible notarizations using approved audio-video technology and electronic documents. The Florida online notary must be physically located in Florida when performing the notarization.

The signer, however, does not necessarily have to be.


So imagine you own property in Palm Coast but you're spending the summer in North Carolina when your closing documents arrive. You may not need to hunt down a local notary, print a large package, sign it, scan it, and send it back. If your documents and closing instructions allow RON, you may be able to meet with Markly online instead.


Can Every Real Estate Closing Be Done Through RON?


No—and this is worth knowing before you schedule. Florida law permits remote online notarization for many transactions, but that doesn't automatically mean your particular lender, title company, underwriter, recording jurisdiction, or receiving party will accept the transaction electronically (not legal advice). Ask whoever provided your documents whether RON is acceptable. If the answer is yes, Markly can determine whether we can perform the requested online notarization. If the answer is no and you're local, a mobile appointment may be the better option.


What About Seller-Side Closing Documents?


Seller packages are particularly well suited to convenient notary service because sellers aren't always physically located near the property they're selling. A seller may have already moved. The property may be a vacation home. An owner may spend only part of the year in Florida. Or perhaps you're simply sitting in Flagler Beach looking at the stack of closing documents and thinking: Surely I don't have to drive somewhere for this.

You may not. Depending on the closing instructions, Markly can provide mobile seller-side signing service locally or Remote Online Notarization for eligible electronic transactions.


What Should I Have Ready?


Before your appointment, make sure you have the complete document package and appropriate identification. Don't remove pages because they “don't look important,” and don't make changes to the documents unless instructed by the party handling your transaction.


For a closing package, follow the title company or lender's instructions carefully.

If witnesses are required, determine that before the appointment so everyone who needs to participate can be available. And if something in the document doesn't look right? Stop and contact your title company, lender, closing agent, or attorney. Your notary can notarize the document. Your notary should not rewrite your real estate transaction at the kitchen table.


Local Property. Local Notary.


There's something nice about working with someone who actually knows the area.
