insults

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this forum for constructive criticism, suggestions and friendly notorial help? I have only been on this board for a short time, but I can't understand why all the hostility and insults keep occurring. What are these statements saying about our profession? I truly lover what I am doing and I know that everyone else does, so why does notaryrotary continue to let this continue? Free speech?? I just feel that this is not doing anyone any justice. I thought we were here to help one another, not degrade, accuse and insult each other.

Just my thought.

A "Certain Gentleman" Replys!

As much as it goes against my grain (actually one of my St Louis cardinal rules) to respond to anyone (anonymous #1 or #2!) who won't identify themselves on a public message board, I'll forge ahead under the impression you're uninformed on certain issues in this industry & require some educating. After three plus years in the signing industry along with my 20 year history of self-employment in the insurance industry, it's my concerted opinion if there's anyone out there who believes they're making an honest living by accepting $50.00 for a re-finance loan signing & driving up to 20 miles one way from their office...they're only deluding themselves. That's "constructive" criticism in my book because it's the honest truth as I see it & know it. Furthermore one of the reasons I absolutely despise & avoid $50.00 signing companies came home to roost with me during this "thread" a couple of weeks ago. While doing my best to educate those who may not be aware of what $50.00 companies are actually doing to them, I was interrupted by a phone call from an individual who claimed they represented on these so-called companies & threatened me with "a letter from their attorney" if I didn't cease & desist my criticisms. There's a lot of things I'll tolerate in this world, but threats like this isn't one of them. I'll do my level best to keep this issue alive simply because of the threat if nothing else. That one phone call showed me the level to which some companies will stoop for the almighty dollar.

Now before you go off agreeing with the $50.00 signing company rep that I should be silenced...you'd better remember that what goes around, comes around. If I'm taken off this board for spelling out my opinion in a strong fashion, who knows where that'll stop? You could very well be next. The business world isn't all peaches & cream. I don't call people names & I don't use foul language. Just because my opinions differ from yours is no reason to scream "foul". If you express your beliefs in an articulate manner & without hiding behind a false facade, you'll receive a much better reception from me.

Dennis is a gentleman and an honest businessman.

Let's take advantage of his many years of business experience and learn from him. We are lucky he posts on this board.

Not everyone will agree with Dennis all the time but forums are places for open discussions. I took his statement about Fox and Anonymous getting married to be a joke. I was surprised other people got so serious! Dennis was just trying to make a point.

I happen to agree with Dennis. The signing services are crying their woes to us. But behind our backs they are laughing all the way to the bank.

I will add that the better payers also treat notaries better. Checks actually showup. And they arrive before 45 days. Scheduling and question calls are handled quickly and politely.

Sure, I can get a quantity of $50 SS work and be driving all over my counties like a chicken with my head cut off. 3 assignments a day = $150. That's 15 assignments a week at $50 for $3000 a month. And the chicken is finally truly dead at the end of the month.

But if I get two quality jobs daily that each pay $125, I get $250 a day. 10 assignments a week at $125 for $5000 a month. Of course, I would get no assignments on some days and 3-4 on other days.

Dead chicken at $3,000 or happy clucker at $5,000. Even this chick can do the math.

The only thing I am saying is that there is alot of new notaries who don't "understand" the so called humor. They are trying hard to start their new notary business honestly and professionally. When off the collar comments and accusations are thrown at them, what are they supposed to feel about their fellow notaries. They are trying to get their foot in the door, like we all have at one time or another. If we just try to do our profession some justice and help others without sarcasm and negativity, be it in jest or not, we will all be alot better. I truly appreciate all the comments made about the companies who don't pay, or pay when hounded. It helps out alot. This is a terriffic help to both seasoned and unseasoned notaries. Let's just keep it professional and helpful, not hurtful.

if you're asking me, now I will be negative. I am not about to come on a public message board and give away my hard earned client list. I began signings in 1997 and have worked long and hard to build my reputation and client list. Work hard, work smart, do your job correctly, don't undersell yourself and you will find these companies or they will find you. I have had 3 new companies find me this past month - a processer at a title company I did a lot of work for went on maternity leave, when she returned, she went to a new company and contacted me and I now get their work; another I picked up because they were looking for someone to do purchases in my area and they asked a sister company that I already worked for to give them a reference in my area; the third I got because a processer at a title company I did a lot of work for went out on her own as a loan signer as the title company's workload has slowed down - she hooked up with a brand new title company and she told him to contact me for coverage in my area. if you do a good job, they will find you. once you've been at this for a while, if you're smart, you will find them.

Probably not, so relax a bit, and know, no one is going to take your money from these companies, if you are a good worker. They are only looking for a beginning.

I know how to do my job inside and out. they give me an order and I complete it with seldom a question from me. how much work each of my clients has I have no idea although I do know that I am called first by most of my clients and I have some that will get the appts. rescheduled when I am not available so that I can fill their order. there are lists and lists available all over the internet of companies that hire notaries. market yourself to them, do a good job and as I said, the good paying companies will come to you.

I don't really need any more work -- have enough to handle right now. Just was wanting to know if you turn down all those $50.00 closing companies how you could possibly make money/living without them? To me, they are my bread and butter. Those over $100.00 paying companies are very few -- at least in the New Jersey area. Most companies that pay more are also companies that call you once because their in a bind to find someone right away and offer that much to get you to do their signing. I've been in this business a long time not to have a multitude of clients, but unlike you and Dennis -- I NEVER TURN DOWN A $50.00 signing -- especially if it's right around the corner.

I'll take plenty of the right kind

In all due respect, Dennis, I see no need to denigrate someone for trying to make a living. I do plenty of $100 to $175 signings (More than 20 last week alone) , but am not too proud to accept $50 signings from establshed clients. They are mostly HELOCS, very easy, 15 minutes or less, and I can fit them into my schedule between more lucrative signings. I agree, that it it not worth it to jump into your car and drive 20 miles each way for a re-fi. But you can certainly do them profitably on a round trip with other signings.
Most of the ss paying $50 are only being paid $100 and sometimes less. They have overhead, employees, rent, telephone , etc.
I find it profitable to incorporate $50 -$60 signings into my other work. HELOCS are frequently open dated , so you can usually be flexible in schedualing. My daddy told me that "you rarely lose money by making money"
I can usually incorporate 10 -15 $50 signings into my week. At the end of the month, it adds up to a nice piece of change.
I agree that $40 is ridiculous for a re-fi (usually Ditech) with a bunch of fax backs, and will not do them. They can be good, however , for newbys who want to build up experience and need a bit of handholding until they learn the ropes. I would never criticize anyone for doing whatever they can to support their family , especially in these troubled economic times, with college grads forced to get jobs asking "do you want fries with that order?"

The "Right" Kind...

...is the operative word here, Bob. There's one company I work with that almost exclusively deals in HELOC's & you're right, they only take 15-20 minutes. However I'm still receiving $65.00 for those! The point I'm trying to make is that a VETERAN in this business should NOT be taking $50.00 signings on a routine basis. I never made reference to "newbies" although I even disagree with you there. In my 3+ years in this business I've accepted TWO $50.00 signings. You set your standards & you stick by them. I could literally care less what the SS's are making on their end as that isn't what concerns me & it shouldn't concern you. With regards to your daddy's statement, he did qualify that with "rarely". In my opinion you're losing money on $50.00 signings involving anything other than a 15 minute HELOC. We all need to make $50.00 signings as "rare" as we possibly can by turning them down. Otherwise we ALL will be pushing McDonald's fries at some point in time. JMHO & I appreciate the feedback, Bob.

Agree to disagree

We are never going to convince each other as we determine profitablity diferently. That is the beauty of owning your own business, you decide how to run it.
My point of not denigrating someone for being willing or required to charge less then others in order to support their faimily or maintain a desired lifestyle still stands.
That is also an advantage of owning your own business. You decide what work to take and how much to charge. If one does not feel that it is profitable for them to charge less than a certain amount, then don't. Someone else in different circumstances might find that amount profitable.
I do plenty of $65 + helocs and some pay $100 or more (Lord bless them)
I think that I can make money working $50 heloc signings in with my others. You, obviously do not, which is your priviledge. In all due respect, do not knock me or others for exercising the the same priviledge. I do not know your individual circumstances and you do not know mine. As independent business owners, we can all do what suits own individual needs best.

I'd be curious as to how many people feel the same way Dennis does. The majority appears to feel that the signing companies are for the most part a great way to earn money whether you are a seasoned or unseasoned notary. Granted, there are a few companies that do want to take advantage of notaries or just not pay at all. That's what's so great about these boards. Keeping the notary community abreast of what's happening "out there" -Helping Each Other. We can continue to banter back and forth on Dennis' opinions until the cows come home, but for what??? Each has his own living to make in the way that fits their lifestyle and it seems like we are just "beating a dead horse". What difference does it make anyway?? Give up Dennis, you've made your point. You're not going to change anyone's minds. Now move on to more important things like making a living.

Are we successful because we are true to our call? Good stewarts over that which we've been privileged to tend over? Leaders are determined by the task performed, not titles or labels.

I believe that if you can look at yourself in the mirror, honestly, and say, "I've done my best, and I've given it my all", then you are successful! When you engage in business, and you stay the course and remain vigilant, diligent, dedicated and devoted to the accomplishment of the task at hand, then you are a success.

As signing agents all of us have been in some absolutely fabulous homes; perfectly decorated, opulent furniture, etc, etc. If the truth were borne out, a lot of these borrowers are hocked to the hilt, credit cards maxed out, no savings, & if they missed their next paycheck would have to declare bankruptcy. Appearances CAN be deceiving is my point & is no guarantee that person is a successful manager of their money or their personal life. Success can be defined in many ways & I believe I succeed in the signing business precisely because I turn down $50 signings. You obviously don't & we have a parting of the ways on that issue. Only time will tell who's "right" in the long run.

I wear "two hats", I am a signing agent and I also own a signing service.
And as the owner of a signing service and as a signing agent I am with Dennis. $50 fees are absurd. It is OK for newbies, but once they are experienced and have built a reputation they shouldn't be accepting less than $65 a signing.

You say "remember the bottom line and who is really paying for all this".
Yes, the borrowers are paying in their closing costs, however whether you charge $50 or $65 a signing, the borrower's fees are not going to be affected, it is just the signing company that is making more if they can get you to do the signing for $50.

It is up to you to set your fees, and if you are happy with $50 signings, then that is fine. But why sell yourself short?

I want to see what you feel are the list of expenses that are to doing a signing. Not all of us have the ease of going next door to do a signing. Most of my signings are over 40 miles and I do not have the population base as you might. I negotiate my fees but in most cases I have to take what they give me, becuase in the best months I only get about 12 calls. It would be great to get the fees you feel we should get but in most cases if we are just starting out or in my case there are not that many signings you are at their mercy.

You're NOT at Their Mercy!

That's the thrust of my comments in this whole discourse. You just simply say "NO"! You tell them what your fees are & stick to them. As far as a list of expenses, they're endless with some not so easy to discern & I'm only going to focus on one...TIME. The amount of time you invest in a particular signing from start to finish.

There's the time you spend in the initial phone call from the signing company. There's the time involved in placing that information into your database. There's the time you spend on the phone making the phone call(s) to the borrowers to verify the appointment. There's time invested in receiving the e-mailed or faxed confirmation from the SS. There's the time you spend receiving the overnight document package (I won't address the issue of e-mail docs in this missive) & separate it out. There's the time you spend reviewing any specific directions the SS may give you. There's the time you spend making a phone call to the borrower on the day of the signing to make sure they're there & ready for the appointment. There's the time you spend driving to the appointment. There's the time you spend performing the actual signing. There's the time you spend coming back from the signing. There's the time you spend preparing the doc package to be sent back along with any invoicing you may have to do as well. There's the time you spend driving the package to a drop off point. There's the time you spend driving back from the drop off point. Last but not least there's the time you WASTE chasing down your money from some of these companies one or two months down the road.

I'm quite sure there are a few more listings under the category of "time" if I put my mind to it. None of this takes into account the other costs of doing business such as computers, printers, auto, insurance, telephone, advertising, etc, etc. Even though there's a very minimal initial "investment" cost to become a signing agent, you soon realize there's much more to invest in if you want to stay current in this industry.

As I said previously in this thread, I've only taken two $50.00 signings in my entire career. They were both back when I'd just started & were "lesson learners" for me. I hope you learn your lessons early on as well & graduate to higher fees.

JMHO!

I'm gradually easing back into it, but I don't have much of a clientele built up at this point in time. When the signing industry balloon pops, I want to have another income stream to fall back on & build up. I don't HAVE to sell insurance by the way...to deflect your feeble attempt to discredit my signing work. Our family does just fine from an income perspective & NO, my wife doesn't work outside the home either. I make decisions & make money just like you do. The difference is I don't do $50.00 signings & you do.

Re: I've Been in the Signing Business Full Time...

holy cow you should right a book and sell it, for all the time and length of responses you give in every topic. Maybe title it "How I made a living by not excepting $50 signings".

I Apologize for Not Responding in Some Fashion!

Sue answered your question to me so well, I felt there was no need to provide you with a response. I still don't!
