...sending this response to requests for services. When you are constantly dealing with low-ballers who have no concept what "business relationship" means, it can be an effective way of forcing their hand.

"Greenville is more than an hour from me. I am available to close this loan at 2:00 tomorrow, but my fee would be $XXX, assuming printing 2 copies of a doc package of 120 pages or less. Other Terms & Conditions apply. See attached.
This rate quote is good for 30 minutes. After that, my fee is $XXX + $20.
Thank you,
Notary"
