It's definitely a busy month...
I've been getting all kinds of odd calls today. Just now I got one for Ridgecrest... which is, at best, 1 hour and 45 minute drive from me. Then I got a call for one Lake Isabella... which is well over 2 hours each way.
Now, that's not terribly unusual for out here in the desert... 1-2 hour drives are pretty common, but I find it funny because I know there are plenty of closer NSAs.
Of course, when I quote them my fees, they give the standard, "I'll call you back" bit... fine by me folks I'm not spending 4 hours on the road for a single assignment to get paid milk money.

You said "I know there are plenty of closer NSAs. " They are just calling the BEST ONE first is all.

Well, of COURSE they are. 
But I find it pretty funny that they're calling so far away. No doubt they'll find somebody in my area to do it on the cheap. It's not terribly difficult driving... mostly wide open desert and hills... it's just distance and time.
I'll happily take the trip, though, as long as I'm compensated for it. Not surprisingly...nobody's called me back.

Last night at 7 p.m. asking me if I could "fit one in" when I told them I was booked. I said that depends on the price you're paying,.......silence then, Okay thank you for your time. I was only going to charge $5,000.00 dollars. LOL

I'm waiting for the day they have a jet-pack available for notaries. LOL
My mind often thinks of the Jetsons. It would be fantastic to be able to just lift off & by-pass all the traffic. LOL

I had quite a few yesterday and got a call to fit one more in. I said it would have to be at 10 pm..Agreed to my fee. I got home at 11:30 exhausted but happy! Today a bit slower..Got a call for a last min. today but I could not do this due to time. Wed starting to get booked up again..yeah!
So far this EOM I have been fortunate enough to have had all the the docs I needed on time or earlier!! That has been nice..Thank you to all that have called!

Jetpack that prints out docs on the fly, too.....
I did as many in the past 2 days as I did all of last month. My last one last night was a re-fi and borrowers had a brand new (1 week old) baby girl they were adopting. Sigh.... <3
