Recently I received a phone call from Field Choice for a Chase refinance loan in my area.
They offered $75, edocs and faxbacks, I countered with $125. It got it because the LO requested only I would be acceptable for the signing/closing.
There were 16 pages of instructions on how to perform my job.
There were 18 notarizations.
While I usually negotiate for more than $125, this is the most I am able to negotiate with Field Choice. Chase allocates $150. Guess Field Choice needs to make "something" on the deal. For those of you who don't know, Field Choice is TRGs in-house scheduling and signing service. TRG makes money on their escrow and title fees. I once worked for TRG directly, but then they saw the profit center innovating their own SS some years ago.
Every transaction is different.
I concur with your comments, Paul. we all have to negotiate what is possible for our specific territory, scope of work, day/hour of signing, size of package, etc., not just agree to $30 to $90 across the board. This is only largely possible by working direct with the people who make the loan process possible.
