Happy Autumn 2011 miscellany

I can't wait for cooler weather! It's been in the 90s. Were even hearing about showers in north county. However, with the threat of thunder/lightning, we could have some brush fires...

More on $60 for notary fees, there were only three documents, two signatures requiring notarization. In CA it is the law that title/escrow charge for notary fees. I didn't feel any explanation was due this borish man. He was so unsavory, I didn't feel like qualifying my position there. He was too volatile.

Speaking of volatile men, yesterday we had a man show up at our title office, ranting and raving, he was in his 70s, 8 ladies rushed to find out how we could diffuse his anger and disruption. Finally we discovered that he wasn't even in the right title office.

It was kind of fun to watch him pull his tail between his legs and leave the building. NO APOLOGIES, we were just happy to be rid of him.

4.09% interest rates for 30 year fixed the lowest since 1951. Shore up! It's going to be a wild ride the rest of the year! HAPPY END OF MONTH...heading out now for a rock an roll day!

"I didn't feel like qualifying my position there. He was too volatile."

I would have followed the same steps for the same reasons. It is simply not his business to discuss my fee. I'm in no position to argue so would have remained mute until his anger tirade was over. Then I might ask if he's done and ready to sign or just take the assumptive and put the paper in front of him with my explanation and point where to sign.

I totally dislike that type of situation. Thankfully, they are rare.

I would never behave or react in any way that would reflect poorly on me and the company I represent. Just because a client has bad manners, doesn't mean I have to follow his lead.

I'd rather be the good will ambassador!
