Sheriff Assisted Lock Out
When the owner of a property has followed the legal requirements for eviction and has obtained a court ordered eviction of the occupant of a property the Sheriff of the county directs and witnesses the eviction.

The securing may include decking, screening, water removal, chemical treatment, gate/fence padlocking. If no regulatory guidelines are applicable for the loan type, the HUD guidelines are normally followed.

Signing Agent

Signing Agents are notaries public who specialize in the process of obtaining and notarizing the signatures on loan documents.  Lenders rely on a Signing Agent to complete the signing portion of the transaction and assist borrowers with proper execution of the documents.

A Signing Agent may answer “what” (give a definition) but not “why” (regarding terms and conditions.) Signing Agents can “identify” (point out key features and secure proper signatures), but do NOT “explain.” Borrowers are referred back to the document originator for “why” or explanations other than definitions.

The signing agent makes sure each signer is physically present, is identified appropriately, that all documents are signed and initialed, and that each signature that requires notarization is properly notarized and that all documents are returned to the form originator.
