Well, all's I have to say is if we are all working for less than $150.00 we shouldn't be working then, including myself, because according to all the CA NSA's they are rolling in the dough! Apparently there are companies who pay that and more on a regular basis. Who knew?? I never seen them. Ananotary averaged $164.00 per closing last month, so I guess we are all doing something wrong here in the rest of the USA or she is something special. I can only speak for Florida, and lived both central and south FL, and no way are they paying more than $100.00 consistently, title co. or SS. Marketing has nothing to do with it, it's the law of supply and demand. You must be in demand, because here there are thousands of us who do exactly the same thing. By stating you averaged $164.00 a month per closing implies a false hope to all the new ones joining thinking that is the norm. Is it for CA? No wonder there is a constant influx of newbies thinking that is what they will be making....perhaps they are out there.
I never worked with Snap docs, nor do I work for less than $100.00 for a loan package. Requesting more in this area anyway is a flat "no" and they call the next one who gladly will. That is the reality I believe for most of us. Yes, we all work until midnight, yes, we are all on time...all the same things you do that you think you are special and deserve a higher pay, but letting you know, anyone who has been in this business awhile does everything you do and is expected and part of the service. Sure, we can charge more when we work after dark, extra big packages, scanning the whole thing back...but I am stating the normal package for a normal closing time.
Everyday on this forum you hear about the $65-75-85 loan packages. I do not accept them, but that is the trend and the reality of what's being offered. I draw my line at $100.00 minimum...If I'd say $150.00 I'd be laughed right off the phone, and hear the crickets chirping. I'd be the death of myself, no one else.
