It may simply be a question of full disclosure to the borrower. I've seen this from one particular ss I haven't worked for often (can't remember which one), but that's about it. As I recall, it wasn't an unreasonable fee split (as these things go sometimes) so I didn't worry about it.
However, when dealing directly with a title co, it's likely that we're being paid what's on the CD (if disclosed), so there's no big deal there, either. It may just be the practice of a particular title co (or companies). [And FWIW, I would certainly include notarydi/CA as an 'experienced professional' notary... ] |
