David Watts Notary Public

Needed to get lots document notarized this year and yelped notary services. Mr. Watts had the most star and I knew why.

The receptionists were very organized and very helpful as well. The receptionists greeted with me as soon as I came in the door. Mr. Watts is really experienced and checked all the details.

In and out in 5 minutes with all the document I needed!

. I haven't worked with David yet. But he was quick to answer my questions and reply to my emails, which made the process easier and less stress .I highly recommend đavid for anyone in need of a reliable and efficient Notary. Thank you, đavid!"

David responded promptly to my request and was most helpful. Highly appreciated the quick response and recommend his services.

This is probably the best notary public you will ever meet.

David worked extensively with me and my father and my realtor in going through all the reams and reams of legal paperwork involved in purchasing my condo (keep in mind that my dad lives in Montreal, David is here in Vancouver and I was based in Seattle when all this was taking place). David was super prompt in replying to us, and he spoke and communicated in a language we understood, often saying that he believes "simple is best", and to keep things as basic (and thus as reasonably priced) as humanly possible. We SO appreciated that!

Our trust in David is so absolute. He has been incredible with my dad and me in (my dad is near 90, btw) and, later, we returned for him to draft up my husband's will and powers of attorney documents. (I'd have liked him to have drafted up mine but he referred me to Westcoast Wills as my situation was more complex than my husband's. I appreciated the referral - Westcoast was wonderful. See my review! But I so like and trust David, I would've preferred him to have drafted my docs as well). My husband's documents were completed promptly and are exactly what we wanted.

We returned to have some documents notarized, and Jeremy at this firm did the notarization. Jeremy was so nice and very thorough.

The first time I used their service was back in Jan 2011, when I purchased my home in Delta, BC. At the time I had just moved to Canada from the US. David and his team coordinated between myself, the seller and my bank, and made the conveyance process very simple and easy.

Over the years I moved back to the US and sold my house in May 2018 and I used David Watts' services again. Liana and Clinton were a pleasure to work with and I communicated over the email with them. Since I am a non-resident, they helped with the additional steps by coordinating between the buyer and also the CRA.

I highly recommend David Watts' services.

Excellent service!

I was very happy with the service at David Watts' that I returned only a few days after to get a couple of documents notarized.

The staff is very friendly and explained to me everything beforehand on the phone. No surprises, great pricing and very professional.

Thank you David

I am super impressed by David!! Our first point of communication was via my email inquiry, which he replied very promptly (while I was still deciding on which notary to visit based on Yelp reviews) to. Not only was he the only notary to reply on the same day as my inquiry, but he was easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions.

When I finally met him at his office, I found him to be extremely pleasant and kind, which instantly put me at ease. He also tried to understand why I required his services (instead of just blindly notarizing my documents) and actually spent time reviewing my documents, made some manual changes, and gave me some very useful legal advice that ended up saving me money (because he said I didn't need my other copies certified by him). I am so truly impressed, and will definitely be bringing my business here whenever I need a notary in the future, as he is an honest and very helpful notary.

One thing's for sure with David Watts - the hype is real! Thank you for being such a breeze to work with.

One thing for Yelpers - his office doesn't accept credit cards - only debit (and maybe cash?) so come prepared.

Quick responses, efficient service and reasonable prices. I selected this notary office after sending out a query via Yelp. David Watts's office was one of the first to reply and offered the best price. I made an appointment, went in, got my documents certified and that was that. No nonsense. Sometimes that's all you need.

There was poor communication which led to a misunderstanding.

The price I was quoted on the phone was the incorrect price. There was about a 15 minute wait with no apology for being behind (1:30 appointment - there was another person that went ahead of me at 1:31 and I waited until 1:45).

I overheard a comment about my large document they were printing - and that David wanted to charge me 50 cents per copy (I had let them know on the phone that the law firm in AB would email it to them and they did not let me know about the price of the copy - they were about to charge me an additional $52 for printing @ 50 cents per page). What annoyed me is that David went on about the cost of toner, the cost of a copier, the cost of paper - I don't need to hear that - I get that they have overhead costs. It's a business.

I am giving it 3 stars A-OK - because David was willing to charge me the price that his receptionist quoted over the phone, although he was blaming me for hearing wrong or for asking for the wrong service when he wasn't even on the phone call.

He also told me to just courier the document myself instead which was fine.

A notary public isn't something that is predominately on one's radar. It's not one of those things that you think in passing, "Oh hey, a notary! I should make mental note of that so when that ONE time every two years that I actually NEED a notary, I'll know where to go!" So a few weeks ago when I was in need a notary, I had absolutely no bearing on where to begin.

Enter the Yelpisphere. David had excellent reviews so I thought, why not give it a whirl? Getting anything notarized definitely falls into the category of "things that make you feel like an adult" and therefore, notaries have always seemed like a mysterious, shrouded world that would undoubtably be complicated and time consuming.

Not at all the case. I phoned the office and easily snagged an appointment the next day. Did my research and had all my documents in order and was in and out in a mere 15 minutes. Their team is efficient, pleasant & professional and their prices (from snooping other locations around town), totally fair.

It was such a painless process that the next time adulthood strikes and i'm in need of a notary - David Watts will definitely be my go to.

After a long, drawn out, bumpy road to a real estate purchase paved with mortgage brokers and financial planners who continued to drop the ball on us, spending an hour with David was like a dream.

To start, Brandy and Natasha-- who are part of David's team-- were awesome. They were on the ball, their phone calls efficient, their emails were timely, and their patience, unwavering.

On this visit, the stakes and the documents were much higher: refinancing, purchasing, property transfer taxes, and on, and on, and on. But David was patient, knowledgeable and thorough. At the end of it all, we finally understood what we were signing, and walked away a lawyer referral for a matter other than wills and real estate AND with some sage landlord advice straight from David himself.
