ISGN

I was just contacted by this company.
I didn't see it listed on the review site of companies so wondering what, if any, experience anyone has had with them.
Thanks

Also Richmond Title is now part of this group.
It is owned by investors out of India.

Yup, aka Richmond Title :-(

Richmond Title USED to be a good company. Now, I wouldn't bother to even return any calls from them.

Low ball offers, late docs, shopping around after they have already booked you and shorting checks are just a few of my own past experience with them within the last year. I stopped accepting any work from them earlier this year when what I mentioned above happened within a 2-3 week period.

I quote them a flat $250 or nothing for a local job trying to get them to lose my number.

Gas and ALL other expenses have gone up for us. Their fees to borrowers have not gone down.

Companies that keep, or even raise, their fees while lowering offers to us are just trying to get more for nothing. I say ,hang'em out to dry and let them die on the vine. After a few of these low ball, bottom feeder companies go out of business or have to start paying a professional fee for a professional job, the rest of them might get the hint, IMO.

You, as a business owner, set your fees. Either you believe you are worth what you charge or you do not. This is not to say that negotiating should be out. But no way, should it be done 100% of the time. Honestly, are we running businesses or yard sales?

Re: Yup, aka Richmond Title :-(

Well put, Moneyman! Richmond used to be a fair-enough company and I worked for them semi-regularly; then they started swirling down the toilet and I stopped taking their jobs. The last time they called, they offered me a fee quite a bit lower than my customary fee with them...so I was glad I had cut ties with them.

In what other business do people work their way DOWN the payscale? Well, I for one, will not do that. My fees must rise as the years go by or else it's not a business worth being in.

There are a lot of "use to be's" out there. Like Kenny

Rogers said, " You got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.

Isgn Fulfillment Services, INC , Melbourne, FL has been one of my best clients. I don't understand the negatives reported here.

This company was posted a week or so ago. I've worked for ISGN/FISERV and now Richmond title for several years. I've never reduced my fee and are their docs late yes sometimes so what else is new. What title company isn't late on occasion. They pay every two weeks and I take all they give me. I don't know the people from Richmond Title as well as Melbourne and RI they are helpful and respectful.

Richmond Title

As with Ilene, I have worked with Richmond Title here in Texas for several years. They have given me such a large volume that I voluntarily, and without prompting from them, dropped my fee a bit in appreciation of the business.

They are notorious for late docs, and they have a few other quirks -- quirks that seem to be multiplying since they have been purchased by offshore investors. But they meet my fee, they renegotiate without complaint when justified, and they pay every two weeks. I'll take whatever they send me.

On top of all that, the people I have worked with were extraordinarily pleasant.
