True or false?
The buyer chooses the notary, and the notary works exclusively in the interest of their client, the buyer.

Answer: False. The notary acts as a public officer and must be impartial. They represent all parties in the transaction, whether the buyer, the seller, or even the mortgagee. They must give the required advice to each party at the right time and place.
