Pacific Document Signing - Los Angeles, Ca

Has anyone completed any closings for this company? I received a call to do a closing but I have not done any work for them since April, 2005.

They called me 2 weeks ago and they wanted to pay me $XX. I did not accept. I told them my fee is $XXX. Meanwhile, I checked them on signing central. They have mixed reviews. I accepted a signing today for $XXX. I will take a chance because the Bro. are one mile from me.

What does distance have to do with it?

I'm having a hard time understanding what difference it makes how close the borrowers are when judging whether or not a company is a risk. I wouldn't do a closing for SOX if the borrowers came to my house and had the documents with them.

Leon_CO,

I would not do signing for SOX if they give me $XXXXX. I am willing to take risk for some of these signing companies if they have mix reviews C+ or better. Have nice Christmas.

I have done work for Pacific. They have contracted with a lender to do a ton of loan modifications. They pay as agreed but there is some negotiating to do because some of the people there will low ball the job. Others just pay what you have asked for and never even bring it up. I will work for them anytime as long as they meet my pay requirements which, so far, they have done.

Unfortunately we do have mixed reviews due to 2 major reasons.

1) We had accounting problems for 07 and 08 which are no longer a problem. 9 times out of 10 notaries don't get paid with us now b/c the invoices don't make it through our fax machine. We are now very quick about our 3 week turnaround and if you DON'T get paid and call, we'll make sure it gets taken care of.

2) We're OFTEN confused with Pacific Document SERVICES which has very bad reviews. We actually receive invoices for them at times from notaries we never hired. In return, these notaries give US bad reviews thinking we are the other company.

As far as our fees go, they ARE lower than the industry standard at the moment due to the Lender to Title Co. fees that we receive.

Our rating should be MUCH higher than it is on this site.

I know nothing about your company nor the way it works. This is a generic response to your bull $...

If 9 out of 10 people can't get through on your fax machine for more than 2 days, perhaps replacing it should occur to someone or else come into the new age and use e-fax.

As far as your fees being low due to "industry standard" we all know that means you low ball and expect your notaries to also. To all those in "notary world" that fall for this: 1) if you believe them, you get what you deserve; 2) there are still PLENTY of companies out there willing to pay and pay well (meaning $150+) for a full e-doc refi ... find them, convince them why they should hire you, and retain them as a client ... all requiring effort.
