01 / In person
Mobile notary
A notary travels to the signing location—such as a home, office or closing venue—so documents can be signed in person where it makes sense for the participants.
Blackwell Title, Inc. / Glenview, Illinois
Clarity.Confidence.Every Closing.
A considered approach to title coordination and closing operations for the people moving real estate across greater Chicago.
01 / The approach
A closing should feel organized long before closing day.
For attorneys, lenders, Realtors, investors, buyers and sellers, the difference is often in the coordination: knowing what is needed, who owns the next step and when an update is due.
Establish the transaction
Start with the property, parties, transaction type and professional contacts so the work has a clear point of reference.
Coordinate the details
Track documentation, questions and outstanding items across the parties involved, with confidential information handled carefully.
Prepare for the closing
Keep the sequence visible as a transaction moves toward signing, with timely communication about what remains to be resolved.
Follow through
Maintain an orderly record of next steps so participants know where matters stand after the closing appointment.
02 / Intended service areas
Built around the transaction, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Notary services / Greater Chicago
A signing approach that fits the transaction.
Whether the parties are meeting at a physical location or connecting remotely, the right signing arrangement starts with the documents, participants and requirements involved.
02 / Online
Remote online notarization
RON brings the signer and notary together over secure audio-video for a remote signing process, with the document and participant requirements reviewed as part of coordination.
Availability and scope of mobile notary and RON services are subject to confirmation of applicable authorizations and Illinois requirements.
Who we work with / Greater Chicago
The right coordination for every role.
Every participant sees a different part of a transaction. Blackwell Title, Inc. brings those needs into focus when discussing signing arrangements and closing coordination.
Attorneys
Coordinate document flow and signing logistics with the transaction team, including seller presign appointments when a seller needs to sign ahead of closing.
Real estate agents & Realtors
Keep buyers and sellers informed about signing arrangements while mobile or remote notary needs are reviewed alongside the closing timeline.
Lenders
Align signing coordination with lender document requirements, participant availability and the anticipated closing sequence.
Investors
For residential and commercial transactions, organize the parties, documents and signing needs around the structure of the acquisition or sale.
Buyers & sellers
Understand what to expect at signing and discuss whether an in-person, mobile or remote arrangement fits the documents and participants involved.

Any proposed scope or fee would depend on the transaction and confirmation of applicable regulatory authorizations. An inquiry does not establish a service engagement.
Who should make the initial inquiry?
Attorneys, lenders, Realtors, investors, buyers and sellers can all get in touch. If other professionals are already involved, include their roles so the conversation starts with the right context.
What information helps you understand a transaction?
The property location, purchase or refinance status, anticipated timing and a brief description of the parties involved are a useful starting point. Please do not send sensitive financial documents through the inquiry form.
