A real estate agent who is also a notary will earn a commission if a purchase contract closes. Regarding notarizing signatures on that contract, the agent-notary should:
-
A
Notarize because the commission comes from the broker, not the signer
-
B
Notarize if the buyers agree in writing
-
C
Decline because the commission is a financial interest in the transaction
-
D
Notarize and reduce the commission by the notary fee
