It’s time to talk about RON again. You know what we’re talking about – Remote Online Notarization. This type of digital closing has been the talk of real professionals for years but was really thrust into the spotlight during the pandemic as the entire industry evolved to make closing safer for all involved.
Many states authorized RON on a permanent or temporary basis during this time, and RON closings are now more popular than ever. However, the BBS Notary team knows some clients may still have questions about RON, so we hope this blog helps. Here are five reasons offering RON can be a win for you – and your customers.
Helps prevents fraud using technology – both new and old
Fraud is an important topic in real estate, and a RON transaction adds an extra layer of security for you and your customers. New technological methods for ID verification and securing digital documents make RON transactions safer than traditional methods. Video and audio recording, technology that’s easy for everyone to use, adds an extra layer of protection from any claims arising from the closing process.
More accurate transactions
Digital documents require users to fill in the mandatory fields so you can be sure that every section is signed. Fewer chances for human error because of less manual entry equals a win for you.
Faster customer service
Gone are the days of waiting for signatures or shipping physical documents. Customers want their closing done now, and RON makes that possible.
Better customer experience
Customer service is all about offering options and providing speed, flexibility and convenience. Having a RON option for your customers and partners checks all those boxes regarding closing time and location, and you’ll look great.
Less paper, shipping and storage fees – and it saves trees
With the closing 100% online, you save money on printing, shipping and storing physical paper. Less paper AND less driving mean more trees and a cleaner environment overall. Who doesn’t want easier, safer transactions that save the world simultaneously?
