NotaryCam’s Rick Triola Recognized as 2020 HousingWire Vanguard

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that its founder and CEO Rick Triola has been named a 2020 Vanguard by housing finance trade publication HousingWire as part of its sixth annual HW Vanguard Awards(TM) program. Triola, who was also named a Vanguard in 2018, was recognized for his work advancing Remote Online Notarization (RON) technology, providing lenders with a digital closing solution that proved crucial to keeping mortgage pipelines flowing during the pandemic.

HousingWire's 2020 Vanguards have led their respective companies to spectacular success, as evidenced by expanding products, services, and profits. These 50 winners were carefully selected by HousingWire's selection committee, chosen for their vital contributions to their companies and the dynamic way they are changing the industry.

"One of the highest achievements in the housing industry, the Vanguard award honors the top executives - and they certainly earned it," said HousingWire Magazine Editor Kelsey Ramírez. "In the program's most competitive year yet, 50 winners rose to the top, boasting their outstanding achievements in innovation and leadership. With these leaders at the helm, the future of housing is bright"

As adoption of RON technology continues to increase in the real estate sector, NotaryCam remains the only platform that scales in every jurisdiction to accommodate when, how and where homebuyers want to close, providing a competitive advantage to mortgage lenders and their settlement agents. The platform also allows multiple parties to join the signing ceremony in person or from anywhere in the World and is supported by a robust, nationwide network of trained eNotaries available 24/7/365 to ensure a seamless, error-free remote online closing ceremony.

"RON adoption has increased significantly over the past few years, with exponential growth in the 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic," said Triola. "Thankfully, homebuyers, lenders and settlement agents were able to rely on NotaryCam's industry-leading customer service and easy-to-use technology to complete their closing ceremonies safely and securely, resulting in a 10x- increase in monthly closings completed on the NotaryCam platform since January. These feats were made possible by the hard-working NotaryCam team, with whom I share this award."

In early 2020, 23 states had passed RON legislation, including Florida - a state that Triola predicted would be an ideal proving ground for RON due to its high concentration of international/remote buyers and sellers, vacation/second homes and senior population. Thanks to his early anticipation of demand leading up to Florida's Jan. 1 RON start date, NotaryCam was able to increase its month-over-month RON transactions in Florida by 100% during Q1 2020 without issue, a trend that has continued throughout 2020.

This would prove to be excellent training for Triola and his team as nearly all states without RON legislation passed temporary measures allowing for RON at the start of the pandemic, and currently, 48 states and Washington D.C. authorize remote e-notarization either through an existing law, or emergency action. These emergency actions were able to be put in place so quickly due to the recommended uniform language Triola helped draft alongside the Uniform Law Commission (ULC). Furthermore, NotaryCam developed its Concierge Service to accommodate remote ink signings (RIN), which many states chose to authorize in lieu of RON in their emergency orders As a result of Triola's leadership and dedication, NotaryCam was able assist real estate professionals in executing digital closings amidst social distancing concerns while increasing the firm's revenue over 100% in the first two quarters of 2020.

NotaryCam CEO Rick Triola Receives 2020 October Research Innovation Award for Driving Title Industry RON Adoption

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, announced that its founder and CEO Rick Triola has received the 2020 October Research Award for Innovation for his innovations in and driving adoption of remote online notarization (RON) in the lending and title/settlement services industries.

Now in its ninth year, the October Research awards program honors leaders in the title, underwriting, lending and settlement services industries for their accomplishments in the areas of leadership, innovation and philanthropy. Triola was presented with this year's Award for Innovation in a virtual ceremony at the 16th annual National Settlement Services Summit (NS3).

As October Research publication The Title Report noted in its Sept. 2, 2020, coverage of this year's winners:

Triola founded eSigning solutions provider Settleware in 1999 and NotaryCam in 2012. Using this technology, he completed the first mortgage remote online closing in 2014. Since then, he's advocated at every level across the country to advancing the legalization of the technology.

In a time where eClosings and digital mortgage adoption is skyrocketing, Triola intentionally designed the NotaryCam platform with the flexibility to accommodate all types of closing ceremonies. That has allowed the technology to adapt to the inconsistent state regulatory requirements around the country.

NotaryCam is adding roughly 15,000 new users to the platform monthly, resulting in more than 350,000 total users on the platform this year, and has executed more than 250,000 transactions to date.

"I am honored and humbled to accept this award on behalf of myself and the entire NotaryCam team," Triola said. "Our team works tirelessly to not only provide the best RON services to our clients, but also to further advances in the industry and help promote RON adoption. Industry-leading technology is only valuable if it is being utilized, and I am proud of our efforts to lead the field in technological innovation, adoption support and customer service."

Triola pioneered RON in the real estate space when he founded NotaryCam back in 2012 and completed the first mortgage remote online closing (ROC) in 2014. Since then, Triola and NotaryCam have set the industry standard for RON/ROC technology, as the only platform on the market that scales to meet document notarization and real estate closing standards for all jurisdictions, including attorney-state closings; provides all-party access to join the online signing ceremony; and complements its technology with a nationwide network of eNotaries well versed in the intricacies of executing RON eClosings and available 24/7 to ensure a seamless, error-free ROC ceremony at the homebuyer's convenience. Additionally, NotaryCam provides a single platform capable of completing hybrid, in-person e-notarization (IPEN) and RON closings, all of which have experienced increased demand in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In recent months, emergency legislation related to COVID-19 has furthered the nationwide adoption and legalization of RON. Prior to this emergency legislation, the real estate and mortgage industries were reluctant to embrace RON technology without explicit legal support at the state level. Thus, Triola has devoted the last seven years to advancing nationwide RON legalization, including worked closely with the Notary Public Administrators (NPA) section of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) and the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) on the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA), which many states have opted to adopt for their own RON legislation.

HousingWire Recognizes NotaryCam’s Katie Maxson as 2020 Insider

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that Katie Maxson, the firm's technology/product quality assurance and compliance Lead, has been named to HousingWire's 2020 Insiders Award list. For five years the Insiders Award has recognized unsung heroes within the mortgage industry.

These 50 winners, per the publication, are the "go-to" team members in their companies and represent a wide range of occupations within the housing industry, from lending and real estate to investments and fintech. The Insiders are the professionals their companies turn to with their most important or challenging projects, and their contributions and hard work lead to superior results.

"The winners of our 2020 Insider Awards demonstrate expertise in areas that are critical to the success of the companies they work for," HousingWire Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler said. "Especially during this year, which has required rapid adaptation in so many areas, these Insiders have been invaluable to the smooth functioning of the entire housing ecosystem."

In just 18 months at NotaryCam, Maxson has quickly proven herself to be an "operational all-star," as her work ethic, innovative thinking and commitment to customer success have garnered attention within the organization. After serving as Notary Manager for just over a year, Maxon was promoted to Technology/Product Quality Assurance and Compliance Lead in February 2020, where her responsibilities included quality assurance testing and signing off on all updates to the NotaryCam platform and providing real-time support escalations for over 70 notaries.

To date, Maxon has provided support on over 500 customer support tickets. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Maxson's initiative, leadership and problem-solving skills were tested as she created a new workflow process that enabled NotaryCam to manage a 300% increase in demand for RON while maintaining a high level of customer service.

"Since the very beginning of her career at NotaryCam, Katie has found ways to increase internal efficiency and to keep NotaryCam working as a well-oiled machine," said NotaryCam founder Rick Triola. "As someone who prefers to work behind the scenes, Katie has quickly and quietly become one of NotaryCam's most valuable assets, and we are honored to share her successes with the industry. Katie continuously facilitates the change and growth necessary as NotaryCam continues to scale without losing sight of our company's 'entrepreneurial, out-of-the-box thinking' and keen focus on delivering the best overall experience for all customers."

NotaryCam CEO Rick Triola Praises ALTA, MBA and NAR for Issuing Model RON Executive Order

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R) Founder and CEO Rick Triola today hailed the efforts of the American Land Title Association (ALTA), Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) and National Association of Realtors (NAR) to provide guidance and standardization for states seeking to temporarily authorize the use of remote online notarization (RON) for real estate closings. To date, all but seven states have some form of RON legislation or executive order in effect.

"NotaryCam has observed first-hand for some time the simplicity, security and convenience RON brings to the real estate closing ceremony, and while we wish the circumstances surrounding this joint effort were quite different, we applaud these trade groups for banding together to provide states with the necessary language to fortify the legal underpinnings of remotely executed notarial acts and provide real estate professionals with a measure of standardization regarding the particulars of these orders," Triola said.

"Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, only 22 states had passed RON legislation, and even fewer had those laws in effect at that time. Thus, the majority of states had to pass temporary executive orders to allow the notarial act to be completed remotely in some form or fashion, many of which only authorized remote ink notarization (RIN) rather than RON," Triola continued. "While RIN provided a necessary stopgap early on, it is not a scalable or sustainable solution, particularly for real estate transactions. With COVID-19 cases continuing to rise and a vaccine still a distant possibility, states would be well advised to extend and expand their current orders to make RON the de facto method of document notarization for the near future."

The MBA has developed a RON Resource Center, which includes the model executive order as well as a sample letter for governors explaining the benefits of RON and an FAQ on the model state executive order.

Remote Online Notarization Taking Hold in Florida, NotaryCam Reports

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, announced it has observed a significant increase in remote online notarization (RON) adoption and utilization for real estate transactions in Florida over the past three months. Since January 1, which is the date Florida's RON law went into effect, the company has experienced a 100% month-over-month increase in RON closings.

"With such a high concentration of property transactions being executed by out-of-state residents, Florida represents a great use case for RON," said NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola. "Our volume of Florida RON closings is doubling almost every other day, and we have signed hundreds of new partners in the past three months. We're thankful that Florida real estate professionals have embraced RON quickly and whole-heartedly to enable their clients' transactions to proceed faster and smoother than ever before."

According to the Florida Realtors(R) association, international buyers accounted for 36,400 of all existing home sales in the state between August 2018 and July 2019, which represents $16 billion in volume. The association also estimates that the vacation/rental-home business accounted for $27.4 billion in sales within the state in 2018. In addition, Florida also has four out of the top 10 cities on the U.S. News & World Report "Best Places to Retire" list for 202), including Fort Myers at No. 1, Sarasota and No. 2, Port St. Lucie at No. 5 and Jacksonville at No. 6.

For Florida-based real estate closing attorney and NotaryCam client Jordan Lulich of Lulich Attorneys and Consultants, the availability of user-friendly technology has made RON a popular option with clients across all demographics.

"We have started offering digital real estate closings to Florida sellers and buyers. I thought this would only be popular among younger clients. However, to my surprise, even older clients have been able to successfully complete the closings through NotaryCam," Lulich said. "The technological support and guidance that is offered is really top notch, and I have only heard positive feedback from the real estate agents and clients that I work with. We continue to push all of our clients to close digitally as it makes the process easier for everyone."

"I have been part of many closings where I've had clients close in other states or areas, but never live," said Robenson Juste, a broker associate at EXP Realty and based in Indian River County, Fla., which includes Vero Beach. "Mr. Lulich was able to do an online closing with the seller. This process with Mr. Lulich was very smooth and effortless. It created a unique digital experience where we all shared the joy together even though we were all in different places, creating one happy seller experience."

"I have had on two different occasions clients who were not able to attend the in-person closings at our office," said Michael Salazar, a Miami-based broker with Luxury Property Realty. "Rather than stress about ensuring the mobile notary would be able to accommodate a mail away closing, we scheduled an online closing through NotaryCam. I was nervous at first because I can be old school in terms of having in-person closings. However, to my surprise, the process was so smooth, and even my elderly clients seemed to enjoy it. Now, whenever we get the chance, I always try to do an online closing because I enjoyed it so much"

Additionally, according to Lulich, the increase in RON activity was especially pronounced during March and into April with in-state buyers and sellers due to concerns and regulations surrounding COVID-19.

"For the past six months, I have been passionately talking about RON closings only to be faced with skepticism and reluctancy," Lulich explained. "However, now clients, customers and vendors are flocking to have their closings completed digitally. RON closings will be extremely useful and more popular in the coming weeks in light of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' stay-at-home order issued on April 1."

On March 18, U.S. Senators Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) introduced Senate Bill 3533, also known as the SECURE Notarization Act, which would legalize RON nationwide. The bill was introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has prompted several states and municipalities to issue "shelter-in-place" or "stay-at-home" orders and individuals to practice social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the disease. In addition, many states have also issued temporary RON provisions to address the challenges of conducting in-person notarization transactions during the pandemic.

"Given the current climate, in-person closings simply are not an option for the foreseeable future," Triola added. "As Florida has demonstrated, the ability to conduct real estate closings remotely is critical to preventing this sector from grinding to a complete halt. NotaryCam applauds all efforts to make RON an option in all 50 states."

NotaryCam CEO Rick Triola Named ‘Tech All-Star’ by Mortgage Bankers Association for Second Time in His Career

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, announced that its founder and CEO Rick Triola is one of the five mortgage technology innovators honored by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) as a 2020 Tech All-Star. In its 19th year, the award "celebrates industry leaders who have made outstanding contributions in mortgage technology."

"This year's Tech All-Star award winners represent the best of the best," said Rick Hill, MBA's Vice President of Technology and Executive Vice President of MISMO. "The mortgage industry in recent years has become a proving ground of innovative technology benefiting the industry and consumers. In an increasingly competitive technology space, these innovators stand out."

Triola is a two-time Tech All-Star award winner, having also earned the honor in 2017 for NotaryCam's eClose360 platform. This year, Triola was recognized for his work in driving industry adoption of remote online notarization (RON) and remote online closings (ROC). Thanks to his educational efforts and grassroots advocacy for RON throughout the country, nearly half of all U.S. states will have a permanent RON law in effect by the end of 2020. Many of these states have simply opted to adopt the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) developed by the Uniform Law Commission - an effort in which Triola was heavily involved.

Due to current events related to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, emergency RON authorizations are being passed in states that did not previously have RON laws on their books, and there is also a bill pending in the U.S. Senate - the Securing and Enabling Commerce Using Remote and Electronic (SECURE) Notarization Act of 2020 - to allow RON nationwide.

"Since founding NotaryCam in 2012, I have striven not only to offer NotaryCam clients the best and most comprehensive RON platform available, but also to stay ahead of the curve on innovation and lead the charge on adoption," stated Triola. "While emergency legislation relating to a pandemic isn't how we wanted those benefits to become known, I hope that NotaryCam can provide a beacon of light right now for states as they issue immediate emergency measures to authorize RON, as well as later on should federal efforts also succeed."

To date, 22 states have passed RON legislation, proving that this is a growing sector. NotaryCam is proud to champion efforts nationwide to expand RON and bring convenience to the closing table."

HousingWire editors highlighted NotaryCam's ability to conduct remote closing ceremonies without restrictions on the type, number or location of participants allowed to join the closing room. NotaryCam has facilitated more than 200,000 RON transactions in all 50 states and 146 countries. Additionally noted was NotaryCam's growth in 2019.

"There will always be doubt and opposition surrounding emerging technologies, but NotaryCam has worked hard to neutralize fears surrounding RON," continued Triola. "RON is steadily becoming an accepted and lauded practice in our field and NotaryCam is proud to have led that charge."

"HousingWire's motto for 2020 is growth through focus. With that lens, the Tech100 program underwent mitosis and emerged as two highly focused awards - Tech100 Real Estate and Tech100 Mortgage. While collaboration between real estate and mortgage professionals has never been higher, the tools and solutions that empower these professionals to excel are often entirely different." said HousingWire CEO, Clayton Collins.

NotaryCam Praises Florida for Continuing Remote Online Notarization Legalization and Advancement

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam® Founder and CEO Rick Triola today applauded the Florida legislature for passing HB 409, which went into effect on January 1, 2020. The bill authorizes online notarizations and specifies requirements and standards for performance of such online notarizations.

Florida represents a great use case for remote online notarization (RON) due to its high vacation, retirement-age and transient populations, as well as the prevalence of international home buyers and investors. Under Florida HB 409, notaries physically located in Florida will be able to perform RONs, regardless of whether the principal or any witnesses are physically located in Florida at the time of the online notarization.

"Florida consistently ranks in the top five nationwide in terms of mortgage origination volume, making it quite a milestone to have a state of this size and importance to the mortgage industry legalize RON," said Triola. "Not only does this change enable out-of-state buyers and sellers to close a real estate transaction without needing to be physically located in the state of Florida, but it also eliminates all the associated and unnecessary friction with mail-away closings, such as transaction delays, overnight delivery charges and missing signatures, initials and/or pages from the final closing package. With 56 of the 66 counties in Florida allowing eRecording, it's now easier than ever to complete a real estate transaction in Florida."

The bill also addresses electronic wills (eWills) and clarifies that eWills can be signed with an electronic signature. NotaryCam completed its first remote electronic will in April 2019 in Nevada with a Nevada attorney, testator, notary and witnesses attending online from different locations and is preparing to roll out similar functionality in Florida.

"By expanding the capabilities of eWills and legalizing RON, Florida has provided its 21 million residents with the capability to efficiently execute two of life's biggest events," Triola continued. "NotaryCam is thrilled to be working closely with Florida trust and estate planning attorneys and real estate professionals to deliver RON and eWill capabilities to their respective clients, and we are equally as enthusiastic to help Florida notaries make the transition to RON."

To date, NotaryCam has paid out more than $3 million in commissions to notaries throughout the U.S. and is seeking hard-working notarial professionals to expand its growing national network.

NotaryCam Approved to Provide eNotary, RON Services for Michigan Notaries

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam®, the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that it has been approved by the Michigan Department of State to provide both eNotary and remote online notarization (RON) services to the more than 113,000 notaries public registered in the state.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson noted in a joint announcement regarding the availability of eNotary/RON and online voter registration, "Both programs represent steps forward for Michigan in using technology to provide modern and convenient services to residents."

As an approved vendor, NotaryCam had to meet certain state requirements, including providing a demonstration of their notarial platforms to department staff that covered specific security features like tamper-evident documents and an audit trail. To date, 13 states, including Michigan, have enacted RON laws, and another nine states are set to do so in 2020.

"The availability of RON nationwide is inevitable, but it is still a cause for celebration when individual states join the movement to modernize the notarial act by legalizing RON," NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola said. "NotaryCam is proud to be among the first vendors approved by the state to provide RON services, and we look forward to helping Michigan notaries continue to deliver the invaluable services they always have, albeit in a more modern and streamlined fashion."

"As an early adopter of RON closings, CSS has been working with Rick Triola and his NotaryCam technology and team for years," said Jerome Jelinek, CEO and General Counsel of Traverse City, Mich.-based Corporate Settlement Solutions (CSS). "NotaryCam closings greatly enhance the customer experience of real estate closings. Its team of notaries are knowledgeable, experienced, professional and always willing to accommodate the needs of customers and CSS team members. To truly serve our customers, industry members need to use NotaryCam remote online closings for all possible closings."

NotaryCam’s Rick Triola Named a 2019 HousingWire Tech Trendsetter

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that its Founder and CEO Rick Triola has been named a 2019 Tech Trendsetter by HousingWire magazine as part of its inaugural HW Tech Trendsetter Awards(TM) program. In the magazine's profile on Triola, the HousingWire editorial staff noted that as the founder of NotaryCam, Triola brought remote online notarization (ROB) and remote online closing (ROC) technology to the industry and has been a driving force in RON/ROC adoption.

The HW Tech Trendsetter Award(TM) recognizes the technology leaders driving innovation in the housing economy. The winners represent executive, product and technology leaders who have played an integral role in bringing innovative solutions to market for housing industry clients at large. Triola's Trendsetter status comes not only from being the first to introduce RON and ROC technology to the housing industry, but also from leading the charge for adoption. As any good technologist knows, without adoption, the most innovative solution is all for naught. Thus, Triola has made it his mission to drive RON/ROC adoption by becoming a grassroots advocate for RON standards and legislation throughout the country.

"HousingWire has always recognized innovation and technological advancements in the housing industry, but none of those advancements happen without people leading the way," HousingWire Managing Editor Ben Lane said. "Technology doesn't simply create itself. People are the driving force behind those innovations. And it's in that spirit that we proudly honor the visionaries helping to push the housing industry into the future."

Triola has devoted the last six years to advancing nationwide RON legalization. Recently, he undertook a grassroots campaign in Texas to educate county recorders about RON. Even though Texas passed its RON bill last year, many recorders - especially those not eRecording - were hesitant to record paper copies of eNotarized real estate documents. Thanks to Triola's efforts and six years of solid county recorder proof points across the U.S., Texas passed Senate Bill 2128 in May, providing recorders with more certainty regarding the recordability of eNotarized documents, with increased support from the state's recording community.

NotaryCam introduced RON to the Industry in early 2013 and pushed hard to set the standards, which have now been widely adopted. First, Triola presented NotaryCam's platform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in January 2013 to garner GSE buy-in. From there, Triola addressed the National Association of Secretaries of State in June 2013 to introduce RON and neutralize opposition from the 49 states that had yet to legalize RON at that time. From there, Triola continued reaching out to all stakeholders, including individual title offices throughout the nation, and as a result, NotaryCam completed the first RON mortgage closing in early 2014 with a top 5 mortgage lender.

"As with so many mortgage-related innovations, widespread adoption is often hamstrung by lack of explicit regulatory approval, but the tide is turning for RON in this regard, especially over the last six years, as 22 states have now enacted or will enact RON legislation by October 1, 2020," Triola said. "Knowing the importance of the extensive eco-system buy-in for RON's success, NotaryCam has doubled down on its commitment to evangelizing RON at all state and private company levels to drive adoption, and I am truly honored that HousingWire has singled out my efforts in this regard by selecting me as one of its inaugural Tech Trendsetter winners."

NotaryCam Applauds Texas for Eliminating Roadblock to Recording Remotely Notarized Real Estate Transactions

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R) Founder and CEO Rick Triola today praised the Texas legislature for passing SB 2128, which will go into effect on September 1. The bill provides recording jurisdictions with additional clarity when conducting paper recordings of electronically executed documents.

This bill addresses several uncertainties previously acknowledged in regard to remote online notarization (RON) in Texas. Under this bill, a notary will be able to certify via an affidavit that a paper copy of a notarized electronic record is a true and correct copy, and county clerks will be required to record the transaction.

"Even though RON has been legal in Texas for nearly a year, nuances in the state's real estate laws legislation have created unforeseen roadblocks to adoption. However, the passage of SB 2128 should remove the final hurdle for RON adoption in Texas," Triola said. "By passing this bill, the Texas legislature has removed doubt that a properly executed RON transaction will be accepted by county recorders statewide, thus paving the way for mortgage lenders and title/settlement professionals to begin executing remotely notarized and closed Texas-based real estate transactions."

According to data from the Property Records Industry Association (PRIA), only 71 (*see note 1) of the 254 counties in Texas current offer eRecording. Thus, with the vast majority of counties lacking the capabilities to eRecord, the Texas legislature correctly recognized the current state of affairs and enacted a solution to allow RON transactions to move forward regardless of a particular jurisdiction's recording procedures.

"On a practical level, SB 2128 expands the definition of a paper document to include electronic records that have been 'papered out,' thus removing any doubt that these documents are eligible to be recorded in the state of Texas," said Celia Flowers, owner of East Texas Title. "After talking to my clerks after the original RON statute went into effect last year, I quickly discovered that many of them did not know about the bill, nor did they understand what RON was. As a result, many of them - especially those that did not eRecord - were not going to accept documents that had been electronically notarized. I think this bill resolves many of the concerns clerks had regarding RON by providing a legally accepted framework for converting electronic document into paper format for recording purposes."

Triola and Flowers, along with the Texas Land Title Association's Director of Government Affairs and Counsel Aaron Day and James Anderson from Championship Title, will be sharing lessons learned from Texas's roll-out of RON at the ALTA ONE conference in Austin.

The session, "Notable: Texas Title Agents are Rocking with RON," will take place on Wednesday, October 23 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. CT. For more information on the session and the conference, visit http://meetings.alta.org/one/.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), creator of remote online notarization (RON), acknowledged leader in online notarization and original provider of patented mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced it is extending its 2018 record growth to another unprecedented performance in 2019.

"With real estate and mortgage transactions at an all-time high, our 2019 growth outlook is rosy mid-year as we work behind the scenes to advance adoption of remote online notarization and remote online closings nationwide," Triola added. "We not only just recently completed our first Florida transaction, but also helped a major provider of title insurance and transaction services complete its first remote notarization in Texas. Across the board we're now closing daily what we previously have done in a year."

NotaryCam and Milo Credit Team Up To Complete International Remote Online Closing Transaction

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that it has partnered with Milo Credit to complete the lender's first remote online closing (ROC) transaction.

"Remote online notarizations and remote online closings are tailor-made for real estate transactions involving international borrowers," said NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola. "For a lender like Milo Credit that specializes in working with international borrowers purchasing properties in the United States, the ability to complete the closing ceremony - including document notarization - remotely provides tremendous value and helps ensure a smooth, error-free closing."

The transaction brought together a client in Venezuela, a lender in Miami, a notary in Virginia and a U.S.-based attorney from Brazil. The clients were able to complete a cash-out refinance on a property they have owned in Miami for some time.

"It was fantastic because we were able to quickly coordinate everyone and get the closing done on a Friday," said Josip Rupena, Founder and CEO of Milo Credit. "Digital closings are the future, and we are looking to pave the way for international consumers that want to buy properties in the U.S. or cash out their home's equity. Through our partnership with NotaryCam, we were able to deliver a better experience, close faster and make our consumer happy with the power of technology."

Milo Credit, a financial technology company that is reimagining the way international consumers access credit in the U.S. and lends three times faster than a bank, views ROC as a way to revolutionize the lending process, decreasing both time and money spent on the transaction.

"It's definitely something that changes the experience completely for the borrower," added Rupena. "Their normal process to close a loan requires them to fly to the U.S. and sign documents, which has a high cost associated with it."

"Alternatively, they can go to a U.S. embassy in their country - if there is one - where no one will explain the documents they're signing," Rupena continued. "This is very scary when you are taking out a sizeable loan, and no one is there to hold your hand and walk you through the closing documents. Additionally, they may be signing documents that are in a foreign language and don't completely understand. To make matters worse, if there's an error, they may have to go back to the embassy and sign these documents all over again."

After seeing the ease with which this transaction was completed, Milo Credit is looking to implement ROCs for all of its loan closings moving forward.

"Remote online closings are something that our consumers need and want right now. We view them as necessary," said Rupena. "Not only does the video recording component make the transaction more secure, but the fact that we're able to engage with the consumer face-to-face provides a better overall experience."

NotaryCam Completes Its First Remote Online Notarization eWill Transaction in Nevada

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that it has executed its first electronic will (eWill) transaction in Nevada using remote online notarization (RON). The transaction was conducted on behalf of a client of Reno-based law firm Laub & Laub.

"For an eWill, the notarial act become even more critical, as it helps ensure that the will holds up in probate," said NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola. "Utilizing RON to authenticate this critical document not only adds an extra layer of assurance, but it also enables Nevada residents to execute the document at their convenience, eliminating the need to take time out of their day to travel to their attorney's office to complete the transaction. NotaryCam is honored to be among the first RON providers to execute an eWill transaction in the state of Nevada."

Nevada has recognized the legality of eWills since 2001, but only since the passage of Nevada's RON bill last year have attorneys within the state had the ability to remotely execute them with their clients. To ensure the wishes laid out in the eWill survive probate, NotaryCam added security measures including video recording of the signing ceremony, tamper-sealing on the document and registering the transaction into blockchain.

"This was the first will I'd ever done with a notary online, and I thought the process was pretty amazing. I could see the two witnesses and the notary all on my screen, and they could see me so there was no question as to whether the appropriate parties were in place," said Nik. C Palmer, Esq., the attorney from Laub & Laub involved in the eWill signing. "The NotaryCam platform made it easy to ask questions and share information right then and there. The entire ceremony took 15 minutes and was quicker than it would have been in our office."

"April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day, which serves as an important reminder for every person over 18 to begin having conversations with their loved ones about their private wishes for medical and end-of-life care," Triola added. "While one typically thinks of a will as a document outlining the dispensation of a person's assets after their death, living wills provide individuals with the opportunity to communicate their healthcare wishes in the event they are unable to do so. By allowing eWills, or any wills for that matter, to be remotely notarized, Nevada has eliminated several barriers that might have otherwise prevented individuals from engaging in advanced care planning."

NotaryCam-DocMagic Integration Delivers Remote Online Notarization, eClosing Capabilities for Mid America Mortgage

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the leader in online notarization solutions, today announced that eMortgage pioneer Mid America Mortgage is now using the firm's integration with DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, to conduct remote online notarizations (RONs) through DocMagic's Total eClose(TM) platform. Mid America will leverage the integration throughout its retail, correspondent and wholesale channels.

"Since 2016, Mid America's strategy has been 'digital first.' As a result, we have been able to condense our application-to-closing time down to just two weeks and our closing ceremony to 30 minutes or less with our digital mortgage product Click n' Close," said Mid America Owner and CEO Jeff Bode. "RON allows us to double down on our closing efficiency while also providing additional convenience to our customers. The addition of NotaryCam's remote notary services through our established eClosing partner DocMagic enables us to extend the value we've experienced to date through our digital mortgage strategy."

To date, NotaryCam has conducted more than 160,000 RON transactions for individuals located in all 50 states and 90 countries. Thanks to RON bills that have been passed by multiple states, Texas included, NotaryCam's team of highly trained and experienced notaries are able to remotely eNotarize mortgage loan documents or other paperwork for individuals across the country using NotaryCam's secure, easy-to-use platform. The system does not restrict the number of participants that can join a RON ceremony, allowing all relevant parties to participate in the transaction.

"Until recently, mortgage closings still required participants to physically congregate in a single location to complete the transaction. Today, RON enables lenders and settlement agents to eliminate the closing table without losing the personal connection of the closing ceremony," said NotaryCam Founder and CEO Rick Triola. "The value of the convenience that RON provides cannot be overstated, and it would behoove mortgage and settlement professionals to incorporate RON into their existing closing process."

Total eClose is DocMagic's comprehensive end-to-end eClosing solution. The integration with NotaryCam, which was first announced in September 2018, allows Mid America Mortgage and Click n' Close to eNotarize documents remotely using NotaryCam's RON service, eliminating the need for home buyers and sellers to physically appear before a notary to wet-sign loan documents.

"We continue to focus on implementing seamless digital closing solutions for our customers," stated Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "Mid America's accelerated processes highlight the benefits DocMagic delivers for both lenders and borrowers. The added efficiency of NotaryCam's RON solution is the logical next step and a key component to achieving 100% paperless eClosing transactions."

NotaryCam Helps East Texas Title Complete Its First Remote Online Closing

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering and market leader in remote online notarization and mortgage eClosing solutions, today announced that East Texas Title has executed its first remote online closing (ROC(TM)) in Texas since the state's remote online notarization law went into effect. The transaction, which was executed using NotaryCam's eClose360(R) eClosing platform, was performed on behalf of a couple currently located in Colorado and selling their property in Longview, Texas.

"We started conducting remote online closings on the seller's side first because that was something we could do immediately without having to wait for the lenders to be ready," said Celia Flowers, owner of East Texas Title. "What was really important to us was to stop mail outs because when you're mailing documents to people, they can get lost. They might not sign in all the right places and then send back incorrectly executed documents, which really holds up the transaction. With remote online notarizations and closings, it's instant, and the documents are signed correctly."

In addition to the sellers, a NotaryCam-trained Texas Signing Agent, the closer from East Texas Title, another representative from East Texas Title and NotaryCam's Director of Notary Operations Henry Smith were also present for the transaction via the platform's live video feed. In accordance with Texas law, all documents were signed and notarized and made accessible to East Texas Title immediately, with the full transaction taking less than one hour.

"Historically, we would have had to ship the documents to sellers in Denver and then wait for them to return the documents before we could complete the closing. By closing remotely with NotaryCam, we were able to complete the seller's side of the process the same day," Flowers added. "The sellers thought it was great because they didn't have to find a notary and could do it all online. The husband had some health issues so it was nice that he was able to be comfortable at home. The wife came in just as we were starting because she didn't have to leave work to go find a notary. For them, the convenience factor was a huge plus."

"The business case for remote online notarizations and closings is as clear today as it was back in 2012 when NotaryCam was founded. Home buyers and sellers are no longer constrained by geography, and the mortgage closing process must follow suit," said NotaryCam Founder Rick Triola. "Without the remote option, this couple was facing hundreds of dollars in extra expenses, not to mention extreme inconvenience, simply to complete the sale of their home. Having completed more than 130,000 remote online notarizations, we speak from experience when we say, 'There is a better way.'"

In July 2018, Texas became the third state to allow its notaries to perform remote online notarizations (RONs) nationwide, which is a critical component to the full ROC transaction. Today, Virginia, Montana, Texas, Nevada, Vermont, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Tennessee and Ohio have all passed some form of RON legislation.

"Remote online closings simply are not possible without remote online notarization, and we applaud these states in their foresight to allow their notaries to conduct these transactions not just within their individual jurisdictions, but worldwide," Triola added. "Given the size of the Texas real estate market, the state's adoption of remote online closings could prove to be a catalyst for more widespread adoption throughout the country."

DocMagic and NotaryCam Integrate to Eliminate Reliance on In-Person Notarizations for Paperless eClosings

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- DocMagic, Inc., the premier provider of fully-compliant loan document preparation, regulatory compliance and comprehensive eMortgage services, and NotaryCam(R), the leader in online notarization solutions, announced an integration that eliminates the need to wet-sign loan documents in the physical presence of a notary by allowing loan documents to be quickly and compliantly eNotarized online.

The integration works inside Total eClose(TM), DocMagic's comprehensive end-to-end eClosing solution. It allows customers to initiate eNotarizations using NotaryCam's remote service with just a few clicks, thus extending the convenience of a fully online eClosing experience through notarization - the final step in loan closing - without any hard stops or papering out.

"More and more states are permitting remote online notarization and as they do, we can expect to see consumer demand and expectation for remote eNotarizations to grow," said Dominic Iannitti, president and CEO of DocMagic. "This integration allows DocMagic customers to meet consumer demand without any delays, which is a big part of our value proposition for all DocMagic products."

The Mortgage Bankers Association has been collaborating with the American Land Title Association (ALTA) to prepare model legislation that would provide a framework for any state to adopt remote online notarization processes.

"Mortgage eClosings have progressed incrementally, and both DocMagic and NotaryCam have been pioneers and champions in the adoption the industry has achieved-so this integration is a natural fit," said Rick Triola, founder and CEO of NotaryCam. "Our companies are very similar in what we deliver: the industry's most flexible and customer-friendly experiences, backed by unfaltering accuracy, data integrity and compliance. We are looking forward to moving the industry forward, together."

Prior to the addition of NotaryCam, DocMagic's Total eClose solution supported eNotarizations by leveraging in-person notaries equipped with electronic notary signing technology, which it will continue to offer in addition to remote online notarizations, where permitted. Both DocMagic and NotaryCam are approved eMortgage technology vendors with the GSEs, having passed an extensive approval process.

NotaryCam Applauds Treasury Recommendations to Remove Barriers to Remote Online Notarization and ‘Fully Digital Mortgage’

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Rick Triola, founder and CEO of the industry's most popular remote online notarization solution, NotaryCam, calls the Department of Treasury's recommendations in its July 31 report to the President: A Financial System That Creates Economic Opportunities: Nonbank Financials, Fintech, and Innovation "a cure to the persistent drags on real estate transactions that have prevented the consumer from experiencing the benefits now possible with digital technologies."

Specifically Triola cites the positive impact of recommendations in the report's section Electronic Closing and Recording (p. 107 - 110), in advancing the industry's adoption of remote online notarization:

Treasury recommends that states yet to authorize electronic and remote online notarization pursue legislation to explicitly permit the application of this technology and the interstate recognition of remotely notarized documents. Treasury recommends that states align laws and regulations to further standardize notarization practices. Treasury further recommends that Congress consider legislation to provide a minimum uniform national standard for electronic and remote online notarizations. Such legislation would facilitate, but not require, this component of a fully digital mortgage process and would provide a greater degree of legal certainty across the country.

"The key phrase here is 'legal certainty,' which, if achieved, knocks down any barriers for a lender or a title company or other industry participant to offer the convenience and security of doing these transactions online," Triola said. "Consumers are asking for this. Consumers are tech savvy and they want the convenience of tech-enabled financial transactions."

"In my opinion, the biggest problem with technology innovation in our industry is that it never gets to the end user because so many barriers to adoption are created. Consumers don't even know the technology exists to allow remote online notarization that they can complete from anywhere, at any time. This option should be available to any consumer who wants it.

"It allows the lenders and the title companies to move forward and to offer this convenience to all stakeholders including the end user. And that's exciting," he said.

Triola also sees promise for the industry's drive to a more fully digital mortgage transaction, citing the following from the report:

"Getting to a full complete electronic real estate mortgage transaction has been an achievable goal for years, but the laws were not on the books that allowed for this to happen," Triola said.

While the Treasury's recommendations are a great and necessary start, encouraging all states to get on board, Triola thinks national legislation will be needed.

"What is needed is to give title underwriters, lenders, and investors comfort that the e-transaction is not going to be challenged by a foreclosure judge or a bankruptcy judge. Those concerns hang out there now because there's no case law to solidify support for the current legislation in Virginia or Montana, for example.

"Obviously," Triola said, "they had extensive conversations with MBA and ALTA to understand the barriers for adoption and they've addressed them, so it's very exciting."

A pioneer of electronic and remote online notarizations, NotaryCam brings individuals and businesses together from anywhere in the world to securely sign and notarize documents in the virtual presence of a licensed notary public. To date, NotaryCam has completed more than 100,000 remote online notarizations. The company holds the industry's highest Net Promoter Score and a customer satisfaction rating of 99.8 percent.
