EOM Rant

Jeez! I got my email docs @ 9:30 for a 10:30 appt. I am printing away and get a call that the HUD and other paapers will arrive seperately. I said I had to have them by 9:45 or I'd never make it by 10:30 to the borrower's home. (and everything is synchronized today, I can't be late for anything or I will mess up my other appts.) At 10 they call me and tell me the location has been changed to a place that is an hour and a half away! I told them they had better start looking for another notary.
Now, I can sit back and wait for the edocs for the 12:00 appt! lol

I know exactly what you mean! I know it's frustrating. That happened to me last night. Docs for a 5:30 appointment arrived at 5:20pm. So I would not be late for a 7pm appointmnet and had those docs, I contacted both borrowers to make sure I could come early to the 7pm one and late for 5:30 one. I just flipped flopped them. They were both ok and so was the SS and title company. It's just a headache when you don't have your docs on time. Now today, I have 4 and I don't have any of the docs. This is going to a long, long day! But I love it and wouldn't have it any other way!

I'm glad it all worked out for you! I had 5 appts. scheduled for today and my last one (7:30) was just cancelled. Now I'm down to 3! Hopefully, they will come through b/c I have 0 for tomorrow!

Oh isn't this just a wonderful business? I had one bo (who lived 10 min away) call me and tell me he wanted to sign at his work.. 1 1/2 hours away. I called the title co & told them they needed to find another SA. Seems the bo did tell his lo he wanted to sign at his work.. lo never told title co.
I think sometimes title co's and ss's don't understand we do this full-time (most of us), and we try to do as many closings as we can. I had one lo scream at me because I was running late to HIS closing... I told him "you're not my only closing... is this your ONLY loan for the day?" He backtracked mighty fast.

LOL, yes, but it is early in the day! How many will you get for last minute signings!

At this point, I don't want any last minute signings! I'd rather be broke! lol My TV stoppped working last night, too, so I can't even relax and watch a show while waiting for the next set of docs to (maybe) arrive!

You're right. I received a call while at my last appointment today. Of course I let it go to voice mail. When I checked voice mail 10 minutes later, SS wanted to know if I could do a closing TONIGHT (It was already 6:30 when they called), probably would not have received the document until 8:00 - 8:30 and then more than likely got to borrower's home after 9pm. I called them back and thank goodness I got their answering machine and was able to leave message. Funny thing is: I would have taken the closing! I try to put myself in the borrower's shoes. I'm sure the docs were date sensitive and had to be signed tonight. I figured they must have gotten someone else to do it because they didn't call me back. Awwwww...I was looking forward to it to!

must be a PA thing this week. I believe I've had more cancellations/reschedules/time changes this week than I've had in the past month !!
