Meet the Owner
“I love knowing that I get to be a small part of someone’s journey. Every signing matters.”
– Julie Carnes
Julie Carnes, Founder of SOS Notary
With more than 25 years of experience in the mortgage and real estate industry, Julie Carnes created SOS Notary with one goal in mind: to provide accurate, dependable, and stress-free signing services for families and professionals throughout South Carolina.
Julie’s career began long before she became a notary. As a Mortgage Broker and Mortgage Loan Officer, she spent decades walking clients through some of the most important financial decisions of their lives. Her family has deep roots in the mortgage industry, giving her a unique advantage, she understands the process, the paperwork, and the emotions that come with every transaction.
Today, Julie brings that same expertise and care to the notary world.
She believes every signing tells a story, and she loves being part of that moment, whether it’s a first home purchase, a refinance, or documents that help a family take the next step forward. Her approach is warm, professional, detail-oriented, and always centered around creating a smooth experience for her clients.
As a woman-owned business, SOS Notary is built on integrity, precision, and a genuine passion for helping people. Julie is proud to serve Columbia and the surrounding areas with mobile notary services that are reliable, flexible, and always delivered with exceptional care.
