That is a horrible customer service experience. A title companies role is to close loans and disburses funds. It a huge inconvenience for a person to find their own notary who is equipped and insured to handle real estate documents. So then what do you do afterward? Are you being a notary or a Signing agent? Are they sending them a label and they make sure it's returned? You will not like the idea when you arrive and the customer has their package all opened up and not in order, pre-signed, using the wrong ink color, a whole bunch of things can go wrong here...
Your reasoning is that the title company doesn't like the SS's cut, and think the notary should get it all. That couldn't be further from the truth on the SS behalf. It's probably because they don't have enough credit to go through a SS and pay them on time, or you. This way they push it to their client and make them pay, find you, negotiate a fee and probably the Fed-ex label as well. Cash money for you which is nice, but is not the norm, and they are not doing it for the reason you think. jmo
