$40.00 includes edocs

Pacific Document Signings called with that ridiculous offer. I actually started laughing. Then according to what I read they are slow payers. After reading that I won't do it if they meet my price. I have found that if they are cheap and meet then meet your price getting paid is an uphill battle.

What kind of quality do they think that they can get for that?

It's not a reason to laugh.

>> I actually started laughing. <<

A $40 fee to do a real estate transaction -- with or without edocs is nothing to laugh about.

It's actually a reason to cry.

Because it is sad that companies place such a low value on the services of a notary signing agent.

But what's sadder is that, there are signing agents who place such a low value on what they are worth, and will accept $40.

Good luck.

That's a ridiculous offer, and it is what was initially offered to me. I said, politely, that I couldn't handle that, but I would do it for, and gave my normal fee. They accepted, and it turned out to be a modification of a HELOC; 17 pages, of which I had to print 2 more copies of the agreement and 2 extra RTCs for a total of 30 pages. Took about 15 minutes. I also accepted one in August for 5 times their offer. However, it was a first & second. That one took 45 days to pay, which is not up to my standards, but things are slow. I would work for them again. I'll be working on getting their payment paster though.

Thanks for the post. This just re-inforces why I will not take any work from signing services. Low prices, They fail to tell you there is a second then claim you accepted the signing I could go on and on. Then it is like someone stabbed you and is turning the blade in you while they smile, THEY PAY VERY SLOW...... I DO NOT SEE HOW THIS IS ACCEPTABLE TO ANYONE.

I COULD PUMP GAS FOR A LIVING AND KEEP MY DIGNITY. I DO NOT ACCEPT SIGNING SERVICES OF ANY KIND.....

I don't see how you can paint all signing services with the same brush. There are some title companies that'll screw you over and take forever to pay you too. I have signing services that pay like clockwork in 2 or 3 weeks.
