Signing Central

I have spent the morning looking over the companies listed at Signing Central and one thing really gripes me....

The tools we have with regards to bringing information to our peers are terrific! Utilized correctly this COULD become a superior asset IF ya'll would use it! I see a thread where 9 people are complaining about a specific company YET NOT ONE COMMENT ABOUT THAT COMPANY IN SIGNING CENTRAL. C'mom, if you can post about the company (good or bad) you certainly can take a minute and a half to enter some comments that could prevent another SA from falling into that bottomless pit.

I Agree...

...as I just had an experience with a company this morning which prompted me to look up their rating on NotRot & they're currently rated 4.5 stars (the company brags they're the only 5 star rated company on NotRot, which may have been true with only a few respondents). I took the time to go into the rating system & left my own evaluation.

Re: I Agree...

Within the past few weeks I have seen questions regarding companies paying or not or whether they are reliable to wprk with. It would be nice if everyone posted their experience with these companies to help out fellow NSA's and (hopefully) reduce some of the same questions that are asked over and over and over again. Maybe NOTROT could put a disclaimer on top "Before asking do a SEARCH" . Maybe new visitors will get the hint to search first.

Re: I respectfully disagree Zee....

The statement at the top does not state to do a search before asking a question, it states before posting to read rules & quidelines which is where it states to use the search button. Im not dissin' Harrys website, just pointing out that it does not state to use the search button on this page.

Re: I respectfully disagree Zee.... BUT here is the quote...

"Important Notice
If you are going to ask a question, please consider consulting the Search feature before doing so. Many questions have been asked and answered repeatedly on this forum by expert notaries: Should I buy a laser printer? • What are e-docs? • What is a signing agent? • How much should I charge? • How do I get started? Answers to questions like these are just a few clicks away!"

that is on top of the form when you hit new message... so was I wrong? If so I respectively apologize...........

Re: I respectfully disagree Zee.... BUT here is the quote...

You are correct, it is there. I am so sorry! It doesnt show up though on the home discussion page which is what I thought you were referring to, or when you are replying to a post, only on a new posting.
Do you forgive me Zee sniff, sniff

Re: I Agree...

I took Sue's Comment at heart and tried to add a Company but the system did not accept it. It gave me a message to follow the rules in yellow on bottom of the page and there were no rules, yellow or otherwise.

Re: I Agree...

There is a little box to the left of the light yellow section that you need to checkmark before it will be accepted.

go to signing central and either enter a new company OR good/bad comments about some of the best/worst....we would have a good/poor list to reckon with!

Re: I Agree...

I agree as well, and your post convinced me to take a few minutes to add comments about companies I have worked for. I was actually suprised how many comments were already there!

You're right, we can all make this a great tool!

Link box

We should all try to use the link box too when posting about a particular company if it is listed with Signing Central. Super easy.
