I have an appointment with a motivated seller this Friday.

He said, "I answer my phone and show up on time for my appointments. 

Most banks have notaries on staff.Once the signatures are complete, you can overnight the documents back to them (they usually provide a return label).The other way I've seen this happen is the closing company will hire a notary to make an appointment with you.  

Your the best judge.. within 5 days she'll either be gone or within 6 days you'll file on the upcoming Monday.. loss of processing for basically a week is what your asking..and court costs.. if you can avoid that and she acutally leaves.. your ahead a lot of timePersonally my gamble would be to meet her Sunday set the appointment up and get the keys. 

You go to a large realtor office in your area, dress well, make an appointment with the office manager in advance.  

Hey @Chris Reid,How I became a professional fiduciary, I began working ten years ago for a firm where we do court appointed services; guardianship, probates and trusts.  

Will do what they say they will doIf you think you should be getting more appointments/contracts, I would really revise your marketing, how you're talking to sellers on the phone and how you interact with them on appointments. 

Had a guy finish a boat race in Baja (big $$ sponsors, couldn't bail on them), rush to consulate where he had an appointment, sign loan docs, back on boat, sail back to the US, agent waiting at dock w/ his keys...

In some markets there is a scheduling fee, that is charged to hold an appointment after one has been made, but it should only be about $50  But that should be between you and the inspector and have nothing to do with the Realtor! 

I am about to schedule a appointment with my real estate attorney, its by phone and he is in another state, but should be familiar with the laws here in Texas.
