FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: SELLER PACKAGES

What is a seller package in a real estate closing?

A seller package is the set of documents the property owner signs to transfer ownership, confirm required disclosures, and satisfy title, escrow, legal, tax, and recording needs.

What documents are usually included in a seller package?

Common documents include a deed, seller/owner affidavit, settlement statement or closing disclosure, tax-related certifications, payoff/disbursement authorizations, and transaction-specific addenda.

Who Prepares the Seller Package?

Most seller packages are prepared by a title company or escrow team. In attorney-led transactions, a law firm may prepare the package. In private sales, an individual may provide prepared documents.

Can a seller package be signed remotely online?

In many cases, yes—if permitted by law and accepted by the receiving party (title underwriter, lender, recorder, or attorney). AZ Roving Notary supports RON on approved platforms when accepted.

What should I look for in a notary for a seller package?

Look for professionalism, real estate signing familiarity, clear communication, secure document handling, and credentialing such as an NNA Notary Signing Agent credential when preferred by the hiring party.

What platforms do you use for your remote online notarizations?

For our seller packages we use a pre-approved platform if required. Otherwise, depending on the circumstances (number of signers, number of documents, location of signers, technical expertise of signers) we use one of three platforms:
Secured Signing - most secure and includes a Deep Fake Fraud Analysis.
Pactima - technologically the easiest platform for our signers.
NotaryCam - specific to some national title companies
