Lower Price Are You Kidding?
Why greed? Business has picked up so how do you justify lowering your price? I was told this is a seller's package so we are only paying $65.00. My response was my price is my price unless you know of a gas station, or a paper and toner manufactor, or a electric company, etc. which will lower my price because of your seller package. GEE!

Re: Seller signings
So right, Linda! I had one recently with an 81 yo signer that took two hours! He was doing pretty well for his age, but he had to read everything and since he'd bought and sold a good many houses in his day, he was reading things into the documents that weren't there.
I clearly wasn't incompetent, imo, but he did get confused about a few things. And, yes, we ended up making several calls. Fortunately, my fee was a good bit higher than what was mentioned above, but not nearly high enough for the time it took. (BTW, I had one seller package this week that was just over 50 pages.)
BTW, it occurs to me that the time at the table is sometimes significantly less than the rest of the total time involved in completing a signing, when you consider travel, doc prep (if you do it in advance), drop off, all the phone calls, record keeping, etc.

And "We" have a "Base" Fee.
If it makes them feel better, have them add more pages to the seller package. When I first moved to Florida, I had a front lawn the size of a postage stamp. I hired a lawn service and found out they did not care that you could cut the lawn with a scissors. I had to pay their base fee. I should have bought a house with a bigger lawn if I wanted to get a better deal on lawn cutting I guess. Hopefully the point is obvious.
