Incompetent schedulers
Just got the craziest call from a well-known lowball SS - transcript below. Apparently they are now trying to save $ on their staff as well. However, I believe in treating everyone politely - every once in a while even the lowballers are desparate and will meet my terms. (Note that the no-payers also get the polite treatment but the response is "I'm sorry, I can't work with you due to your payment history."
Them: Can you do a signing in [city] tonight at 6:30 pm? [Note it's already 5 pm]
Me: Is it e-docs?
Them: No, its [name of title company]
Me: But is it e-docs?
Them: No, it says documents shipped to signing agent.
Me: OK, but since you haven't hired me yet, I don't see how you are going to ship them to me in the next hour and a half.
Them: (confused muttering)
Me: Why don't you call me back when you know more about the job?
[End of call. A couple minutes later....]
Them: Them: Can you do a signing in [city] tonight at 6:30 pm?
Me: Is it e-docs?
Them: No, the borrowers have the documents.
Me: Is it a refinance?
Them: It's a [name of title company].
Me: But is it a refinance or what kind of signing is it?
Them: [Confused muttering, then lengthy silence.]
Me: Hello?
New voice [original person apparently gave up]: It's a HELOC, just a small package
Me: OK, my fee will be $XX
New voice: Even though it's a small package?
Me: Yes, that is my minimum fee to go anywhere
New voice: OK, I'll have to get that approved....
