I do a lot of work direct with First American commercial offices. So far, no snapdocs or rumblings of snapdocs. I am still being paid on funding. The same office has a new home residential side and they are using snapdocs as well as their usual independent in-house notaries. I'll have to as their usual notaries if they are having to go through snapdocs or if it is just for the orders they are unable to accommodate.
When Old Republic switched to snapdocs, they lowered the notary fee to pay the snapdoc fees. They are charging the borrower $175 but paying the notary $150. I sure hope this isn't the way FA goes. They can still assign their signings to any notary they want as long as it is through the snapdocs platform, from what I understand. I don't do a lot of work with OR and the one office I do occasionally work with has a work around and I don't have to go through snapdocs .
I am keeping a close eye on webcam in CA. If things go that way, I am prepared to invest assuming it makes sense to do so.
I agree, If I was a signing service I would be preparing my exit strategy.
