One thing I stress to signers (real estate transactions) is the Signing Agent can be selected by them.
Although a company may have "approved" agents, ultimately you have a Notary Commission and serve the public.
As for your PBM in using your commission, you decide. Likely, being new you need all the practice notarizing signatures you can get. OTOH, being new (and cash strapped) you need . . . Cash! Think of it as getting paid Now or Later. Once you begin to advertise for GNW you'll want plenty of WOM referrals.
It's okay to be generous. It's not okay to be "taken to the cleaners."
(Acronyms: Personal business model; on the other hand; General Notary Work and word of mouth. Seriously it probably takes longer to explain why you won't do a complimentary notarization than to stamp and just be done with it!) |
