N3 tried a low ball

N3 tried to get me to do a 7 page loan modification, then travel for 13 miles to get the docs signed, no notarization, for $20.00.

Because of all the bad stuff on SC about them, told them I don't doc printing for less than $25. She said she'll get back to me. I hope that no one on this site, works for them at that kind of fee.

I'll do a loan mod (1 signature with notarization and in my immediate area) for $50. No less. If tc or ss wants me to go further, additional travel fees apply. Just my policy.

Ridiculous. My minimum fee for general notary work is $25. I wouldn't take a loan mod for less than $50.

Wow. $20 is low. EXTREMELY low. The IRS mileage rates are $.55/mile, that said 26 miles round trip would cost you, the traveling notary, $14.30. Plus cost of ink and paper, even if only 7 pages (don't forget that a bo copy is reqd), and the cost of wear and tear on your printer. You are looking at about $3 as your worth to them.

Yeah, I think my answer would be uhhh, No.

Good point!

At that distance, I'd guess it would take at least an hour for most folks. Before you even count the ink, paper, printer wear and tear, you're under minimum wage. (And don't forget wear and tear on your car.) Our time should be worth considerably more than that!

The only thing I would do for $20 is notarize two signatures -- IF they come meet me at my "remote office" (a local coffee shop around the corner). In other words, they do the driving.
