In general, the Notary gets $100 to $200 for printing 2 copies, driving their car thru traffic/weather, getting all documents signed (1/2 hr. to 1 1/2 hrs.), getting the pkg. to FedUps (& whatever else you want to add to 'what we do'). Whereas, the Lender makes many times our fee just in the interest collected on the FIRST of 360 payments. Yet they feel they have to beat us down---for $50 or less? Never has made much sense to me...particularly when 25 years ago, $150 was the base fee paid and the docs were overnighted to us.
