Sharon I wear "two hats", I am a signing agent and I also own a signing service. And as the owner of a signing service and as a signing agent I am with Dennis. $50 fees are absurd. It is OK for newbies, but once they are experienced and have built a reputation they shouldn't be accepting less than $65 a signing.
You say "remember the bottom line and who is really paying for all this". Yes, the borrowers are paying in their closing costs, however whether you charge $50 or $65 a signing, the borrower's fees are not going to be affected, it is just the signing company that is making more if they can get you to do the signing for $50.
It is up to you to set your fees, and if you are happy with $50 signings, then that is fine. But why sell yourself short?
