An NSA is a certified Loan Signing Agent that knows how to navigate, explain in a general sense the document meaning, and locate all signatures, initials, and information sections that must be complete to be in compliance with RESPA laws for Real Estate transactions in both The United States of America and the state in which they reside and have an active appointment as a Notary Public. As a Notary Loan Signing Agent, the role is critical in the Real Estate sales cycle. Many times the NSA is the first and last person seen in the finance and purchase or sale of a property. As a result, it is critical for the Lending Institutions and Banks to have a strong NSA vetting and management program.
