Agree - and with JanCa. Nothing unknown or untrue about what was written:
1. [Close at the Title or Escrow office usually those closings don't charge for notarizations] They don't have to; just slap the large atty fee on the CD
2. [Demand that your documentation package is sent to you and and you find your own notary]. Sound advice overall. Get the option to have a "signing agent" if you feel you need one. No way I'm having my PI in hands of a stranger.
3. [The most expensive form of notarization is having the notary come to your home to notarize]. Duh!! Wonder why?
4. [The escrow/title company will use a SIGNING SERVICE which will charge an addtl $100-$200 to find a notary]. That's what happens when the contractor you hire uses outside vendors. Everyone should look for DIRECT services. You find out the hard way how it hurts your budget when your service provider starts subbing out stuff.
IMO, it's hard to resist the urge to "go over" transaction details, appear as a finance "expert,"or be otherwise involved more than we should. A lesser role might make them appreciate what they are getting - and what they lose in terms of a knowledgeable asset/ally notary partner. Want to hire a low ball notary, charge consumers for a supposed "convenience" which costs everyone more in money/time? Well, you get what you ask for (sign here & done)! |
