For Brokers & Agents
A notary referral that won’t come back to bite you.
For real estate brokers and agents across the DFW Metroplex who occasionally need a notary their clients can use — for a power of attorney, a contract addendum, a quit claim deed, or any of the dozen smaller documents that come up around a transaction. Your reputation rides on who you refer. The work is handled accordingly.

Why Agents Refer
Operational reliability, agent-aware.
Agents have all referred a vendor who didn’t pick up the phone, didn’t show up on time, treated the client poorly, or made the simple thing complicated. The client remembers; the agent absorbs the reputational hit. The practice is structured around the opposite assumption: when an agent refers a client, that referral reflects on the agent, and the work needs to honor that trust.
In practice, that means responsive — texts and calls returned within business hours, often faster. Predictable — appointments scheduled when promised, completed when scheduled, with the client treated as a person rather than a stop on a route. Capable — common real estate documents handled cleanly the first time, with the notarial certificate language correct and the journal entry properly recorded.
The goal is to be the notary an agent mentions in passing when another agent asks who they use. Quietly known for the work, easy to refer, and impossible to regret recommending.
Common Client Documents
What usually comes up.
Loan signings happen at the title company; this practice handles the notary work that comes up around the transaction rather than at the closing table itself.
Powers of attorney
Property POAs for traveling spouses, deployed military service members, family members buying out of state, or sellers who can’t make the closing. Coordinated with the title company’s specific requirements when needed.
Contract addendums
Mid-transaction addendums requiring notarized signatures — repair amendments, inspection responses, earnest money disputes, financing change acknowledgments. Quick turnaround when the option period clock is running.
Quit claim & corrective deeds
Quit claim deeds between family members after divorce or estate transactions, corrective deeds cleaning up vesting issues, special warranty deeds, and the variety of deed work that surfaces in the wake of life changes.
Affidavits
Affidavits of identity, gap affidavits, occupancy affidavits, lost note affidavits, and the various sworn statements that come up in the run-up to closing or in title clearance work.
Investor & LLC documents
Property transfer documents for LLC-held real estate, partnership agreements with notarized signatures, 1031 exchange affidavits, and the entity-level paperwork that investor clients need handled quickly.
International transactions
Foreign buyer affidavits (FIRPTA-related), international seller POAs, and apostille handling for documents traveling abroad. Useful for relocating clients and international investors.
How the Referral Works
No mystery, no awkwardness.
Most agents wonder about the mechanics the first time they refer a notary. Here’s how this one works — read once and know how to refer cleanly forever.
Step 1
What to tell your client
Send them the practice phone number and website, and let them know you’ve used the practice before (if you have) or that it’s been recommended (if you haven’t). The client takes it from there. No introduction call required from you, no awkward three-way scheduling.
Step 2
If you want to send context
A quick text or email naming the client and the document type is helpful but not required. Just enough that when they call, the situation is already familiar — “the Hendersons, traveling-spouse POA for Friday’s closing” lets the conversation skip the throat-clearing.
Step 3
Who pays
The client pays directly, at the appointment or shortly after. The agent isn’t billed and isn’t on the hook for the fee. Pricing quoted to the client upfront, in writing, with no surprises. If a brokerage prefers to handle the fee on the client’s behalf, that arrangement is straightforward to set up.
No referral fees, no kickbacks, no RESPA-adjacent arrangements. Texas notary practice doesn’t allow them, and the practice doesn’t offer them.
When Things Don’t Go Smoothly
The agent hears about it first.
Sometimes things go sideways — the client doesn’t show, the document has the wrong notarial certificate, the title company finds an issue at closing. When that happens, the agent who made the referral hears about it directly rather than discovering it through the client’s frustration. Quick communication from the practice means the agent can resolve the situation before it grows.
Most appointments go fine. The ones that don’t are handled with the same priority as the ones that do — because the goal isn’t perfection on every appointment. The goal is for the agent’s referral to work out the agent’s way every time, including when something unexpected comes up.
