How Notary Reviews Started

About Notary Reviews image

TAKE ACTION

  • Hi, my name is Carrie Rivera, the creator and owner of this website. In Novmber 2010 the original Notary Reviews dot com website was created in an effort to quickly respond to several fake notary public reviews which were posted on two, now defunct websites: Notary Bad Reviews and Bad Notary. These websites were created by a couple of signing service owners who were apparently very upset with the negative reviews their companies received on other similar platforms.


  • When I first started investigating, I noticed that there were only three signing service companies listed as "members" on each of the the bad sites. One of my fellow notaries advised that I was on one of those bad notary websites, and sure enough my name was listed. Among many feelings, I found the negative reviews sort of shocking because I had not worked for either of these signing services. I then began to feel sick and violated because not only was this the first time I received any negative review, but I was just getting my feet wet again in this field, and anything posted negatively, would gravely impact on whether I'd receive ANY work. I got royally pissed off because these companies had the audacity to create these bogus websites thinking there would be no repercussions. Boy were they freaken surporsed when this website was created and blasted them all! The only thing I could think of was to create a simple website to refute those fake negative reviews...and thus Notary Reviews...The Good, Bad & Ugly! was born.


  • Turned out one of the other NSA's listed with a fake bad review, contacted an attorney and started gathering names for a potential class action lawsuit. Once that word got out, it was on like Donkey Kong! One of the bad sites instantly came down with only one more still up. With the help and persistance of ALOT, and I mean ALOT of NSA's who had bombarded the webhost provider with emails demanding that site be immediately removed, it was within a few hours! 


The original Notary Reviews website was eventually taken down since we had accomplished what we set out to do. 

However, the site was revamped with NSA's in mind, and it is what it is today.


If you're a working Notary Signing Agent and want MORE direct work, if you do your homework, and utilize our resources, you will become successful!

GROW IT

  • In 2017, I created the Notary Reviews...The Good, Bad & Ugly! open Facebook group (still around) to see if the need for what was started years prior, was still there...luckily there was. The Facebook group started to build members very quickly and we needed a way to keep the those bad signing service owners and their minions out of the group, so as to protect members from getting potentially blacklisted from obtaining work. The Facebook groups simple questions didn't guarantee who the member said they were and a result, we did have one privacy incident with one former member.


  • This was a wake up call for us, because privacy for our members was and still is a HUGE MAJOR concern. Therefore it was decided to only allow Notary Reviews members to join the FB group. Now, there are so many similar FB notary groups that do absolutely nothing to protect their group members


  • What's even more disturbing, is that there are so many NSA and Notary FB groups owned and managed by signing service owners, which is not necessarily a horrific issue, but it can be if their members posts, for example, like asking simple Notary 101 questions, may get them blacklisted from obtaining work.

BUILD IT

  • A year later in 2018, we re-created the Notary Reviews website into what it is today. The reason to revamp the website, was mainly due to the many ongoing Facebook groups security and privacy issues (some still ongoing). Our goal remained the same as it did back in 2010, which is to keep NSA members reputation safe from more bad and ugly signing service companies, who continue seek to harm NSA's reputation out of vindictive pettiness for one reason or another.

 

  • We initially created our signing service list by using an Excel spreadsheet however, since the list began dramatically increasing due to the additional data we added for each company expanded, we had to find other software to hold such a large list of information and we now use Airtable which has been great so far, but we are continually searching for better and more efficient ways to get this information out to our members.


  • Our original goals and purpose are still the same today. We  continue providing our members with up-to-date information which has made our site the #1 Notary Siging Agent Resource distingushing Notary Reviews from those old outdated "signing service lists" that are still online.

Coach Me Laura Review

"I have had the pleasure of working with Carrie through her participation in TNT calls and her Notary Reviews website. I see it providing incredible value as well as protecting new notaries from Signing services or Title Companies who do not treat their NSA's with the respect they deserve or not providing payment when the job has been completed. 


I encourage every notary I coach to sign up for this membership as a reliable source to choose companies to work with. It will save NSA's heartache later and they will find her tips helpful as well."
