I agree. That is too far for $75.00. I work with several local Title companies. I am the one telling them how much the fee will be. One of the companies actually charge the borrower extra for my fee alone. I once charged them $300 for a closing 100 miles (1 1/2 hours drive) one way. They had no problem because they didn't want to travel that far and they were not losing money anyway. You should look in your local phone book for title companies and solicite your services. Go to these companies and give them your card. Even though these companies have their own employees as Notaries, they get busy and if they have more than one closing at the same time they would be grateful to have you take care of it for you. Just remember don't charge to little, but don't charge too much either. I charge $75 for local signings in my county (usually within 20 miles). I charge $100 and up to $175 for other counties within 50 miles. I base everything on my time not mileage and I average $50 per hour. Don't sell yourself short! Good luck!!! |
