Is any one else slow? The calls I am getting won't pay my fee. Last month was one of my slowest ever.

Talk about slow - last month I did three closings and this month none yet. Sure glad I don't depend on this business for my main source of income!

Slow this week. Past few months have been real busy for me. This is my main source of income so I hope this week picks up better. Except I only have today, thursday and early friday to do anything. Leaving Friday hopefully 3p to 4p to go to Cumberland Lake for the weekend. And my B-day is Friday so you met I plan on celebrating. Almost a half a century old. Oh does that sound old. Getting depressed thinking about it. Well hope y'alls 4th is a safe and happy one. Take care and be safe.

thnks KATHY and Kellie

thanks for the Happy Birthdays. I really do like them. I really enjoy all the calls I get that day wishing me a HB. I still have this one friend from high school that after graduating some 27+ years ago he still calls me on my BD to say Happy Birthday. That still means alot. Good friends are for keeps. Hope y'all have a safe and happy 4th.

Re: posting time schedule for everyone to see

I see this quite often so this post isn't targeted at any one person -- you link your personal info to your message -- address, phone numbers, etc. Then you post that you are not going to be home and how long you are going to be gone -- even give a time that you will be leaving your house. Why not just leave the front door wide open with a WELCOME sign or a key under the door mat?

Re: posting time schedule for everyone to see

Never really thought of that but, have a dog, 2 kids that are still at home and their friends will be here so I am pretty safe about that except the parties I am sure they will have. There 21 and older so no problem of underage drinking if that should come up. My real concern is they clean up. They are good kids but still kids. I trust there will be no drugs or such just drinking. Thanks for the reply.

I live in a resort area and get lots of out of state

vacationers that I meet up with at campgrounds or hotels. So, although people are on vacation this time of year, many of them are here and want to take care of business.

I have been very busy. Set a record for myself in June. July is starting out with a bang (no pun intended) too. Have 4 today. Hope the rest of the month is like this also.

I'm on Monica's side haha Been pretty slow here in FL.. Only thing I've had are walk-in's which pretty much pay for my gas to school. I'm hoping things pick up soon.

Re: Super slow here in PA

Nothing yesterday and the one offer I had for today was a $50 deal. I check the phone every so often to make sure it's not on vibrate or turned off!

Hi Kellieco
Yes, the market has slowed, but I'm still getting a few jobs.
I have had some and sure you have that do not want to pay a decent fee. It is not worth taking my car out for them. I know some notaries in this area have to be working for less, but believe me they are loosing $$ - they must have a rich sugar daddy at home and do this to keep busy!
Just keep putting your name out there with as many places as possible.
Good Luck!

I must have gotten 8 calls last month that wouldn't pay my fee. It must be getting tight for every one. I live in a rural area and it just wouldn't pay me to drive for the fees they are willing to pay. Oh well I will keep hoping for a brighter July. Happy 4th of July
