As always, Fixed Rate’s priority is keeping our customers, staff and partners safe as well as being thoughtful and flexible to everyone’s needs. We remain open, fully operational and continue to serve our clients in the safest ways possible. As a reminder, we are pleased to offer the following closing options shown below. Should you choose to close safely in one of our office locations, please note that only Signers to the transaction are permitted to attend closing.
Option 1 | No Contact Closing
We are still able to perform entirely electronic and hybrid clsoings utilizing Remote Online Notarization (RON) and e-signing technologies.
Option 2 | Hybrid Closing
This approach is a combination of video conferencing between Notary Public and Signer(s) along with ink signing of paper documents. If a Lender is involved the Lender must be capable of utilizing e-signing technology and allow the use of e-notarization.
Minimal Contact Closings
To adhere to the CDC guidelines and maximize social distancing, this method will reduce the need for technology, extended time frames for document delivery, and special approvals by all parties involved. Enjoy one of your Minimal Contact Closing options as described below:
Option 3 | Curbside Closing
We are offering Curbside Closings, which entails the Signer(s) completing documents that require notarization from their vehicle with the Notary Public present.
Option 4 | Porch Closing
If a Notary Public has been scheduled to conduct the closing at the Signer’s house, the Signer’(s) may request that the Notary Public conduct the closing on the porch or outside the home within six feet of each other.
Option 5 | Traditional Closing In Office
We are still offering office closings by appointment only. Safety is our top priority and we ask that you and our team follow the safety precaution requests when conducting a Traditional closing in office. Please note that only Signer(s) to the transaction are permitted to attend closing.
Please let your closing team know in advance which closing option you prefer, so our team may plan accordingly and prepare you for any special considerations.
