Same signing from two different SS's?

Has anyone had the same signing "offer" come from two SS's?

How do you tell SS#1 that SS#2 has offered you more for what appears to be the same signing?

Has this happened to any NR's and is this common? What would you do?

It's not at all uncommon. Just graciously tell the first SS you need to cancel due to your schedule, but first, do make sure you have the second one in hand.

It happens all the time that SS cancel us for cheaper notaries; no reason you can't cancel an SS for a better-paying one, especially for the same assignment.

There is also the possiblity that it is 2 different loans...take them both, make sure not the same. Also, what if one is Jr. and the other Sr.? 2 different properties?

If all one and the same, beg off on the one you think is not to your best advantage.

Maybe not

I've had 2 SS, 2 TC, 2 Lenders, same day, time, B. He intended to 'look over' both loans and go with the best--and he did. Just be sure you'll get paid for a no sign. Oh, and they each knew about the other.

Re: Maybe not

I'm almost 100% that it was the same job. The cheaper SS emailed with a reply from my "price quoted" that the job had been cancelled.

I so badly wanted to tell them that the other SS landed the job because they paid the notary a fair fee.
