Just get a notary license for your state, get signed up on a notary directory like 123Notary.com, get bonded, a background check through American Association of Notaries ( I say suggest them because many of the signing companies request specific places to get a background check and A.A.N. are the most mentioned), get a fast printer that can print legal sized paper (preferably a 2 drawer printer) and scanner, and an Errors & Omissions Policy (E & O) and get ready to go to work.

Hello AllThis is sort of a Question and FYI...We got a demand letter to stop using the following phrase on/in ANY content:"we buy houses" (within quotes)within the next 7 days or face legal action from the folks over at webuyhouses(dot)comThis seems to be a common everyday phrase for those of us that are in real estate investment... sort of like the old attempt at putting a trademark on requiring people to pay royalty/fees every time you told and/or sang happy birthday to someone.If this is a valid claim... it will cause a LOT of rewrite and changes:- Content- Website Domain- Website Directory Structure- Business Cards/Documents/Flyers... etc.We have a Real Estate Attorney that we are going to bounce this off of; however, I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone has any past experience and/or feedback/suggestions - or for those that are new, so they don't have to redesign stuff.Just sort of thought it petty... maybe the folks that are buying the franchises, for leads, aren't getting any bites... complaining... and this is their way to try and corner something.:: shrug ::We are already working on alternate phrases, which may actually work out better...Thoughts/Suggestions?
