new to business

Hello, I am new to the notary signing business. I am located in Florida, I have done about 5-6 signings. I worked with Notary-Pro and nationwide document. They were pretty good; however, I wanted to know if this will be part-time or full-time. I would really like to receive more calls opposed to about 2 calls a month. Another thing the fee I have been getting is $50.00 and $75.00 for refiance piggy back loans, is this a good rate? Thirdly, to receive edocs what type of printer do you need? laser? and is dial up okay?

The fees you quoted are OK for a new signing agent! When you have more experience you can raise those fees (piggy backs are 1/2 the first loan).

As to being part time or full time, depends on the volume of calls you get.
Florida, like California, is saturated with signing agents, so it is not going to be easy to get established soon. Where are you located in Florida?

You need a laser printer (preferably an HP 1300 and up - because of the PCL drivers which are proprietry to HP), and dial up will be really too slow downloading e-mail docs. Most companies require you have DSL or cable.
