Check this out!
I had a closing somewhere in the mid of June with a title company where I had to travel 40 miles oneway. Anyways I got to the closing and the borrower refused to sign b/c of increased monthly payment. I asked my contact @ the title company for my trip fee and i was told to send in an invoice. Month and a half passed and no check. So I callled the title company to find out whats going on. Guess what? I am told that it is the company's policy that if the loan doesn't close they don't pay their closers. I am still polite and told her that I was told to send in an invoice. She kept on insisting on the company's policy. Then I gave her my piece of mind. I said first of all I am not your employee so this policy doesn't appli on me. 2ndly I don't operate a welfare organization where I'll use my gas, toner, electricity, etc. and don't get paid. Lastly if this is the company's policy it should be in writing and I want you to email that to me. On this she put me on hold and after a few seconds told me to fax the invoice and this will be the only time I will get paid. I got a check within a week 
Moral: Negotiate the terms and confirm it in writing before the closing!
