Remote Electronic Notarization (REN) is now permanently authorized in North Carolina — meaning your firm’s clients can complete notarized closing documents over a secure, live audio-video connection instead of sitting at a closing table. Attorneys still supervise the closing; REN simply removes the travel and scheduling headaches while adding security and a clean audit trail.
REN is a legally recognized way to notarize documents remotely. The attorney/notary is in NC; the signer can be elsewhere. Sessions happen on a state-approved platform that:
A traveling buyer or out-of-state seller doesn’t derail the transaction. Your firm keeps deals moving.
Buyers and sellers close from home, office, or halfway across the country — no last-minute flights.
Each REN closing is recorded and journaled, creating a defensible audit trail if something is questioned.
Agents want to work with firms that are ahead of the curve. Position your brokerage as secure, modern, and client-first.
Your firm and agents handle sensitive information every day — client IDs, contracts, proof-of-funds letters, lockbox codes. Hackers know this, and brokerage email accounts are a top target in wire fraud scams. A single breach can mean lost commissions, lost clients, and reputational damage across the entire office.
That’s why we created a comprehensive Brokerage Cyber & REN Readiness Program.
Who it’s for: Brokerages that need to understand their vulnerabilities before rolling out REN closings.
Deliverable: A risk scorecard + practical roadmap to REN readiness.
Who it’s for: Brokerages ready to standardize minimum cyber protections across every office and agent.
Deliverable: A baseline cybersecurity framework every agent follows, reducing firm-wide exposure.
Who it’s for: Brokerages that want continuous protection and assurance that standards stay in place.
Deliverables:
A living compliance framework that keeps your brokerage aligned with REN and cybersecurity best practices. You’ll receive:
An annual audit report documenting your compliance posture.
Training records showing staff/agent participation.
An updated incident response playbook for leadership and agents.
