I have been reading a lot of posts here the past few weeks about how notaries throughout the country are going weeks and weeks without any work because they won't accept any assignments for less than $xxx. To accept a closing for $90.00 is like working for peanut shells according to one notary, and other notaries suggest implementing Plans B, C, and D. My question is this . . . how do you pay your bills if you are not taking any closings? This must not be your full time job. You must have supplemental income of some sort . . . social security, a pension, a spouse with income.
I don't like the reduction in fees, I certainly don't want to work for peanut shells, I don't have a Plan B, C, or D, and I don't have any supplemental income coming in so I continue to give everything I have to my Plan A which is being a full-time licensed real estate closer. I pride myself on error-free closings, competitive pricing, great customer service, and I am constantly marketing and networking. Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of only accepting $xxx closings when the occasional $xx closings can be just as profitable.
