I have shifted my business from the majority being loan closings to general notary work. This has allowed me to maintain a steady income and allows me to pick and choose what companies I will work with. I still do loan closings every week, just not as many...and NO, I have not lowered my fees. I also tend to avoid companies that want to hold your hand, and always dump last minute #@*&^% on you. I do not work with any companies, that require regular faxbacks, in fact, I have only done a few faxbacks in recent years. I think maybe that is a east coast thing, where they have to accomodate the time difference or loose time. Being a notary in California is still a a viable career for me. |
