| how much time does it take to print docs and call the borrower to confirm, 5-10 minutes total? I guess maybe I am just more efficient or have a faster printer. For me, I said I think it is a little low - but I like to work. I wish I could charge what I charged 3-4 or more yrs ago, but if I do, I stay home. Supply and demand I guess. In 2002, 2003, 2004 etc I got $200 for a single edoc refi within 20 miles - now no one pays that. So I adjust to stay in demand. Some of my RM signers are physically slower but I just make sure we stay on task -- explain docs? NO WAY! That is not my job. I have the knowledge and experience to do so - have been a realtor in several states and a LO, but it is not the job of the notary and causes more trouble than it is worth. Most of my RM, I was the SA for the RESPA, so I am in and out in no time. I mean, to each their own. I agreed the fee was low - said I would take it if it were close by, and in turn would likely continue to get more and more business from the SS or TC. I don't drop docs - that's a huge waste of my time. FedEx and UPS come to my house everyday for pick ups. I don't do fax backs - but no one asks me to anymore. If you don't need the work then don't take the appointment. |
