Difference between a mortgage and a mortgage note?

[Megan Ahern]

I have a title company asking for the sellers first 3 pages of the mortgage and the first 3 pages of the mortgage note. So my question is what is the difference between a mortgage and a mortgage note? Are they sometimes called different things? And what would they actually look like? I'm trying to help the seller (over the phone) identify whats what in his big stack of papers that he got when he did the refi. Thanks for all your help in advance.
