Old time EOM

Swamped. Its like the tc's and lenders got caught off guard. The enginge isn't running at full throttle or something. All kinds of last minute requests, some of which had to be turned down due to already existing appointments. And the ones I did take, have no documents. One borrower told me that her paperwork is not coming in until Thursday and they will take it to their bank for the notarizations.
Like I said. A good old fashioned EOM

Turned down two because of a prior for the same time; then that one canceled.

Just talked to someone at FASS. She said they are really scrambling and feels sorry for all us notaries. They are working overtime on doc's. She's talked to a lot of us today all wondering where their doc's are.

I'm sitting here waiting for docs also. Has been real slow this month. Heard today our only title company for 50 miles in any direction may close.

I have been busy all month, had one for today cancelled by bo. I did get a call at 5:00 for a 5:00.. I was confused..I was thinking did I miss something? Scheduler had a very thick accent, then we figured out she wanted me for a signing as other notary did not show..I turned it down..it was for Pennsylvania, I can only notarize in Ohio! I am certain I will get calls tomorrow winter storm coming in! lol..I love this business! Hope everyone is busy!

Same here. I was surprised nothing all day, except for 1 out of my area and 1 canceled. Then called for 2 but told they are running about 3 hrs behind on docs, turned them down so I could go out for my son's bday rather than sit & spin. Now, its 9pm & just got a call for a potential closing at 11pm tonight. I accepted it but it is still with the processor so we'll see what happens. Otherwise, month fairly good except I took the 1st week of for vacation.

Did 5 today- starting at 2pm back-to-back until 7pm. No issues got docs yesterday (Sunday) for 2 of them...1 package got redrawn- and they paid me an additional print fee. Had to turn down 2 other calls for today- too busy!!!! Still have 4 more on the books until Friday. Turned out to be a good month!!!

Last two weeks were good. Only one so far this week.

My commercial loan signing got cancelled and will hopefully get rescheduled this Friday.

Today was a good day

Wish I could of taken full advantage of it, had 2 loans that were pushed till Tuesday because docs were so late the BO said no deal tonight.

Did 4 loans and had to turn down 4 because of Child care issues.

I think what we may be seeing is the result of so many layoffs and cutbacks across the board. The recent spike in business is now overwhelming the staff that's left. I just hope it continues!
