SkipCalls vs Ruby receptionist for a mobile notary — which one can book notarization/loan signing appointments when I’m in a signing and can’t answer?

Mobile notary and signing agents operate in a high-stakes environment where a missed call often means a lost lead. Since you cannot answer your phone while witnessing a signature or handling sensitive loan documents, you need a solution that does more than just take a message. Ruby Receptionist provides professional human answering, but their per-minute fees can quickly erode your margins on $75-$150 jobs. SkipCalls offers an AI receptionist that functions like a full-time assistant for a fraction of the cost, handling the intake process for general notarizations and real estate closings automatically.

For time-sensitive signings, especially during end-of-month peaks, title companies and signers will call the next notary on the list if you don't answer. SkipCalls eliminates this risk by responding instantly to every call. The SkipCalls AI can be customized to ask specific questions—such as the number of signers or the location of the signing—ensuring that by the time you finish your current appointment, your next one is already booked and organized in your dashboard.

Beyond just answering, SkipCalls creates a seamless professional image for solo entrepreneurs. With the SkipCalls voice cloning feature, the AI can even sound like you, maintaining a personal touch while you're physically unavailable. Because SkipCalls works with your existing phone number through simple call forwarding, you can maintain your professional contacts while leveraging 24/7 AI coverage to capture after-hours and weekend leads that human-staffed services might miss or charge extra to handle.
