Is anyone receiving steady loan signing/closing work right now? I know things aren’t incredibly busy in my area (Maryland). Just curious if things are busy in other places. Thanks ---

Nope… imagine it’s pretty slow everywhere. Slowest, nobody has volume market I’ve ever seen in 25 years. Arkansas is down 90% for all types. Think I’ve had 2 refis this year. Most of what’s come in is seller pkgs…and not a lot of those. ---

As I understand in Maryland to close Real Estate transactions one has to be an attorney or a loan originator. If this is the case it puts you in a unique situation that most of the rest of us don’t have. It goes back to the supply/demand curve where scarcity leads to higher fees and more work for those with the right credentials. **Correction** : need to be a TPL, Title Producer License, " Professional license required: The Maryland Insurance Administration issued [Bulletin 16-34](https://insurance.maryland.gov/Insurer/Documents/bulletins/16-34-reissuance-bulletin-03-08-Notaries-Who-Participate-in-Real-Estate-Closings-or-Settlements.pdf) clarifying that persons conducting a real estate closing must hold a title insurance producer license. Under the Insurance Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland [10-101(m)](https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/laws/StatuteText?article=gin§ion=10-101&enactments=true), a title insurance producer independent contractor who is under the supervision of a licensed and bonded title insurance producer may also perform real estate closings. Thanks to LindaH-FL for pointing out this error. ---

@RiverpointeTax my understanding - not a loan originator - need TPL to close loans in MD ---

Happy to hear that. Is all of your work loan closings and if so is it direct with title companies or with signing companies? ---
