When I first got my real estate license in 1992, I was full of dreams and determination. Over the last three decades, I've navigated the evolving landscape of real estate—building relationships, closing deals, building/developing, investing, and witnessing countless pivotal moments in people's lives. Dallas is my hometown, and I've served families in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston metroplexes, helping them find home, and/or investments. And through it all, there have been constants: the professionals who believed in me, the resilience required to stay relevant, and the quiet joy of knowing I'd built something meaningful.

But life has a way of reshaping our plans.

The turning point came when I stood at my own crossroads. My 22 year marriage ended, and I faced a reality that hit harder than any market downturn: I was going to rebuild, not just my career, but my entire life, as a single mom.

The fear was real.

The doubt lingered.

But so did something else—a determination manifested from thirty years ago, when I was that wide-eyed real estate broker just starting out in the 1990's.

During my most vulnerable moment, I found unexpected clarity. In my years as both a real estate broker and mortgage broker, I'd watched the lending process evolve. Clients needed efficiency. Lenders needed flexibility. Borrowers needed accessibility. And repeatedly, I saw the same bottleneck: qualified, professional notaries who could meet clients where they were—at their homes, their offices, late in the evening when everything else was closed—keeping deals from languishing on desks, waiting for an appointment that didn't fit anyone's schedule.

I realized something powerful: the lawyers who had guided me through complex transactions, who'd protected my clients' interests, who'd stood beside me during the hardest moments of my career—they understood that sometimes the most important contributions aren't the flashiest ones. They're the foundational ones. They're the backbone that keeps everything moving forward.

Becoming a notary wasn't just a business expansion for me. It was a statement. A statement that I could expand... diversify. That I could evolve. That even as my personal life transformed, my professional commitment to serving others with integrity remained unwavering.

As a single mom diversifying my income streams, I saw mobile notary services as more than opportunity—it was freedom. The ability to work around my family's schedule/needs while remaining indispensable to the industry that's sustained me (including the lawyers who helped facilitate much of my transition: Personal Injury, Divorce, Estate, and Probate attorneys). These specific attorneys are my WHY behind the Deposition Upon Written Questions (DWQs) services...

I understand what it means to be there at the critical moments when documents matter most... to help a wide range of attorneys, title companies, lenders, and everyday people navigate the formal, often confusing terrain of legal documentation.

And then there's the future I'm building toward. Estate planning. The protection of legacies. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your affairs are in order, your loved ones will be cared for, your wishes will be honored. These services matter profoundly—perhaps even more so now, having lived through my own personal reorganization. I've learned that life's impermanence makes planning not just wise, but essential.

Every mortgage I've originated, every property I've sold, every family I've guided through the most significant financial decision of their lives—they've all led me here. To a place where my three decades of expertise in real estate and lending converge with my commitment to being a single parent, an independent businesswoman, and a trusted professional.

Starting my notary business wasn't about adding another credential to my growing list. It was about integration. It was about recognizing that my experiences—the triumphs and the trials—had equipped me uniquely to serve a genuine need in my community.

The lawyers who've helped me understand that every signature matters, every seal carries weight, and every document is someone's future. That's what I'm honoring every time I notarize a document. That's what drives me forward.

I've learned that resilience isn't about bouncing back unchanged. It's about bouncing forward, stronger and more purposeful than before. And this business—this beautiful intersection of my passion for real estate and the law, my commitment to my clients, and my determination to thrive— that's my bounce forward.

That's my why.

Truly,

Maribel Lopez Hill
