O
urs is a small team, just the three of us, and we are highly compatible. For instance, I am married to the Notary! I retired from teaching (as the head of the IT Department in a middle school) when Elizabeth became a Notary. I didn’t want to sit around and do nothing. I told her, “For the past 6 years, I have been teaching all the skills needed to run this office.” She took me up on it. I am the office manager, IT administrator, conveyancer, receptionist, and general factotum of our office. I do mostly things my wife can’t do (like formatting this response so The Scrivener can read it) and she does things I mostly can’t do, like interacting with and interviewing clients, networking with Realtors and local lawyers, and reviewing my work for errors I miss (not many, but a necessary function). We also have an excellent part-time employee. This delightful woman brings much to our office. Jo-Ann’s main function is to be a runner to financial institutions and legal offices and to complete bank reports and what we call “closing packages” for our clients. We all have our roles and enjoy working together. We have a good reputation in our community and have “the best clients,” at least according to one of our competitors. s
