First American is my best client and I handle about 20 signings a month from them. Each branch is free to negotiate fees on a case by case basis when they contact the Notary directly. I have had closings with fees as low as $40 (1 document in their office 2 miles from me) and as high as $350 (large commercial loan with several Corp Officers signing).
The $75 max fee only applies when the order is placed via their signing service, FASS.
My advice is to avoid FASS jobs at all costs and negotiate a fair fee when a branch contacts you directly. |
