First time for everything

Just got a call today to do a signing 71 miles one way. She said "It ONLY 71 miles one way". My response....Too far. She said ok thanks and hung up. Now Im thinking I shouldve thrown out a fee to see if they would have accepted it...say $450-500 lol

"only" 71 miles . . . unbelievable. Should have asked if they'd put you up in a 4-star hotel for the night - room service and all! How many miles to Williamsburg from here? Definitely have to make a day of it (:

LOL.....oh my gosh.....now that is crazy! Either you are their best signing agent ever and they want to give you all the business in your state or they are the worst title company/signing company ever and all the notaries 1-70 miles away turned them down.

Must be the night for it..I got a call tonight to go 3 hrs away one way for Thursday. I told them thanks but no thanks..Then they asked what would it cost? I told them it didnt matter..I have other clients that I have closings for too..He said he understood and thanks anyways..

Wow they can't find anybody that would do it closer to the signing location??

<<<Wow they can't find anybody that would do it closer to the signing location??>>>

Either one of two reasons: (1) The saturated pool of notaries to stiff has run dry, so now they have to cast a wider net; (2) The lowball notaries are all busy <working at a loss> and professionals can no longer be begged into accepting a signing for $70.
