Trends Every New Notary and Loan Signing Agent Should Know

As a new notary or loan signing agent, staying informed about economic trends can be a game-changer for your business. Recently, there have been notable changes in mortgage rates and employment rates, which can directly impact your work. Understanding these trends will help you navigate the market and seize opportunities effectively. At ANF Signings, we’re here to break down these trends and provide actionable insights to help you succeed.


Mortgage Rates: Opportunities for Growth

Mortgage rates have recently dropped below 6%, the lowest they’ve been in over a year. This decline presents a significant opportunity for notaries and loan signing agents. Lower mortgage rates often lead to increased home buying and refinancing activities. For you, this means a potential rise in the number of loan documents that need to be notarized.


Unemployment Trends: Adapting to Changes

The unemployment rate has been rising recently, which could affect various sectors, including real estate. When unemployment goes up, it can slow down economic activity, including housing market transactions (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2024). For new notaries and loan signing agents, this might mean fewer immediate opportunities in real estate.


To adapt, diversify your services beyond real estate transactions. Offer notary services for legal documents, such as wills and power of attorney, to ensure you have a steady flow of work regardless of market fluctuations. Building relationships with a variety of clients can help stabilize your income even when specific markets slow down.


Election Year Trends: Looking Ahead

Historical data shows that mortgage rates often drop during election years as a measure to stimulate economic activity (National Association of Realtors, 2024). If this trend continues, we could see even more opportunities in the real estate market. Staying informed about these trends will help you anticipate changes and adjust your services accordingly.


Mentorship and Training: Essential for Your Success

At ANF Signings, we offer mentorship and training specifically designed to help new notaries and loan signing agents thrive. Our Monthly 1:1 Notary Business Training Sessions and Monthly 1:1 Notary Business Training and Task Management packages provide personalized support to help you build and manage your business effectively.


Investing in training can be a crucial step in ensuring you’re prepared for any economic changes. Our programs will help you stay ahead of the curve, refine your skills, and expand your service offerings.


Understanding and adapting to economic trends is essential for new notaries and loan signing agents. By staying informed about mortgage rates, unemployment trends, and election year impacts, you can better navigate the market and seize opportunities. At ANF Signings, we’re here to support your journey with our training and mentorship programs.
