I do not put my fee's on my profile, I negotiate when the scheduler calls. As for the amount you should charge, This will have to be up to you. The best advise I can give you is to search for "Fees" and look at the posts and peoples websites for information. I would not advise you to quit your day job as market is bad, right now. You need to sign up with as many companies as you can. Several websites have lists of companies, Signing Central is a wonderful place to start.

First, learn the basics of signing. You must be very

fmailiar with the notary laws of your state and also with the
loan dox that you will be presenting to the bwr for signature.
Make sure that you have the proper hardware and software to
perform your job efficiently, quickly and at a reasonable expense.
I find that most of the jobs that I am doing now are e-mail.
When you get a call get as much info as you can
Where will you be meeting the bwr, what time, how will you
be receiving dox, when will you get them, how big is the loan pkg,
is it one loan or two?????
Try to get the person calling you to quote the first price. Ask how much can
you pay? gives you a better starting point than if you make the first offer.
As was stated , this is not a great time to get into this business.
The best days are behind us, at least for a while.
Good luck.
Research this board using the search button. There is a wealth of info here but
you need to learn what is wheat and what is chaff.
