Finish Line

I work for them and here's what I have learned: they pay me whether the loan closes or not. They call me all the time BECAUSE I only charge $50 so I make more than I would if I charged $75. And that's just the beginning. Most signings don't take more than an hour, other do, but on average most take around 55 minutes. I work full time, and I don't charge my boss for my commute: if I did, he'd fire me. Also, if I told my boss "Oh today, I want XX per hour because this work is harder than usual," again, I would be fired. Plush: I do not have to worry about one paycheck from FINISH LINE. They all help me get my money on time. Not only that, I am rewarded by them with perks: I get gift cards, food coupons, all a show of good will. They take the risk and I get paid. It's a great wage for most of us who work as a notary part time, and even full time - you betcha - Lexus - no problemo. Hard work, yep. But Finish Line does the heavy lifting. NY BABZ

Yes, you will love them, and you will make money too. Call 916-735-1288 ask for Barbara.

What I find to be very suspicious is that Barbara is from NY and Bitella is also from NY. Bitella's profile was updated today and $50.00 for a signing is a waste of my time especially when the SS just makes phone calls to the notary that does the "work". I need to become a ss.

Well there's your problem, you've got the mentality of an employee, not of an entrepenuer. Go ahead and knock yourself out on the $50 signings, leave the real paying jobs for the professionals.

Re: Cali - Beverly

When I go to "linear" mode on the board, I always do a quick scan to see who's posting...when I see the 'Calinotary' moniker...I read those first. Never fails - when I read his "shoot from the hips" posts I think....now, that's what I REALLY wanted to say. And I'm always guaranteed a smile at the veiled (or not so veiled) sarcasm.

He tells it like it is!!

Awwww you guys

It's nice to know I'm appreciated. I think I sprained something in my face by almost cracking a smile!

Perks?? Are you serious? I'd much rather choose my own food and gifts with my well earned and deserved $100 base fee - I've never, ever accepted anything less. "Goodwill" is paying signing agents in a timely manner.
