OMG, I've the exact same experiences! Even after I carefully instruct them during the confo call to meet me INSIDE in the lobby or at a specific location INSIDE, like at the Starbuck tables INSIDE Safeway or wherever. Do NOT go sit at a random table in the library, I will never find you, I tell them. Meet me INSIDE the entrance, blah blah blah....... they still sit in their car in the parking lot. One time I had to do exactly what you did to contact the borrower to get her out of the car! Once inside she said she saw me go in 30 minutes before but "I didn't look like a notary." Not sure what a notary looks like, but I certainly wasn't her idea of one.
This just goes on and on. Arranged to meet a woman at Panera's last week in the mall where she was getting her hair done (delaying the signing a half hour btw, but, hey, what's more important than getting your hair done?) Anyway, guess she finished earlier than expected because as soon as I arrived at the time she requested, I called to tell her I was there ... but she had gone to her truck in the mall parking lot, expecting me to pick her out among all the people who looked like she needed a refi.
Anyway, might have been interesting for you "to walk up to every strange man in a pickup." Dangerous, but interesting! |
