5 replies | Advanced Notary Services, Vicky Longobardi, 714-345-1754 | By Yoli/CA on 6/20/25 8:30am
Received a text yesterday for: "to sign loan docs tomorrow at 10 am in Folsom." In my response, I inquired if docs are ready now, any special instructions, scans, Spanish. Her response: "Yes and just fed ex after No scans" My response: "Yes, can do. Fee is $150." Complete silence after that. Nothing.
Guess Vicky got busy with her other recruiting business. Good to see people diversifying when business is slow. In this case, same skillset (recruiting), different industry. Hopefully, one doesn't interfere too badly with the other.

9 replies | Counter Offers | By Yoli/CA on 6/18/25 10:20am
I received NUMEROUS blast text offers from various companies (signing services and title companies, both) yesterday. Many were for extremely low-ball fees; some were for outside my service area with no time allowed for printing and driving. For those in the latter department, I just ignored/deleted. For the low-ballers, most I ignored, some I countered. It was a slow day for me and sometimes I'm up to play their game. 
There was a sellers package that came in for $65 with a sign time of 11am at a location approximately 40-60 minutes' drive from me. I countered at $200. That same offer kept coming in with additional $5 incremental increases. I kept countering at $200. When it came in at $90, I countered at $225. Voila! Shortly thereafter, I received a phone call and an email awarding me the signing at $200. HOWEVER ... the 11am signing time had already passed. I was to contact signers and schedule to allow for full scan backs (47-page package) and to make final Fedex pickup for the day. Next thing I know, signers call me and we scheduled for 2:00pm, which allowed plenty of time for everything. Got 'er done and everyone was happy!
Counter offering works sometimes.

13 replies | Unlimited Ink Notary | By Jerry Kryska on 6/12/25 8:17pm
Has anybody worked with this agency? The reason I ask is that the requirements such as: white-glove Notary, NotaryStars.com, Notary2Pro graduates, Notary Academy seems to me to be discriminatory since all us have taken training and have certifications from various accredited companies and have notary licenses issued from our states after taking exam.

4 replies | Wordiness/labor increases for SD, too, effective 6/11 | By Lee/AR on 6/12/25 7:29am
Prior to downloading docs, you will have to click 'I understand' for each item on instructional list. And, do likewise on each checklist item before you are allowed to status a signing.
More time (is money) makework for declining fees. Guess they figure we've all got lots of time to squander in a slow market.

5 replies | Am I the only one annoyed by SO's wordy offer blasts? | By Lee/AR on 6/11/25 8:15pm
What, where, when, scan or not....followed by seemingly endless instructions (if this, that, state-specific, LOs #, etc., etc.) before you can see the lowball fee???? I don't think all these (mostly not applicable) instructions about a signing are necessary UNTIL the Notary gets the assignment. Is it just unnecessary NOISE. an attempt to confuse? or a good place to hide a 'gotcha'? I dunno, but sure would like it short & sweet with the NEEDED info.

0 replies | Out of the blue, May have saved the day. | By Cheryl Elliott on 6/7/25 8:53am
Last week I had a hard money loan of around $550k on a $2 mil property in Santa Barbara. I sent in scan backs the next morning since it was 11:30p when I finally got home. We w¾
Yesterday, I was sitting at my computer getting ready to pay some bills before my trip to Sacramento on Monday. When I clicked on to sign on, the scan backs were still up on my screen. Suddenly on the Note I realized the PAY TO ADDRESS was not correct. It had an LA street address, but a Santa Barbara city after it.
I called the loan broker to let her know that the first page of the note needed to be corrected so that the borrower doesn't send her monthly payment to that address and the payment would kick back.
It was bizarre. That addressvjust jumped off the page at me. Weird I thought, can't be right.
Loan broker thanked me profusely. I guess that's what we get paid the big bucks for. Loan funds on Monday.

4 replies | First American Title - Santa Barbara County | By Teresa/FL on 6/6/25 8:43am
I had a seller signing this morning for a property located in CA.
The docs were sent to the sellers via FedEx and only the Grant Deed required notarization. The TC also included a form for the notary to fill out requesting contact and commission information. If the notarization was being performed out of the state of CA, it requested the use of a state specific certificate for the state where the signing occurs. They stressed the need to fully complete the certificate in order to avoid any issues with the county recorder.
Now for the twist, this statement was printed at the bottom of the form:
"I give the following authorization to First American Title:
Authorization to make minor changes corrections to the complete notary acknowledgement or jurat (if permitted under notary law for the state in which the notary is commissioned)"
Has anyone else seen this statement before? How did you handle it?
I did sign the form but added a statement of my own:
"NOT Authorized under Florida law. My signature acknowledges only that the information provided above is valid"

9 replies | staples paper sale | By anotaryinva on 6/2/25 3:26pm
Hammermill letter case for $44.99 delivered. if you sign up for text alerts get a $15 off a $60 purchase. As far as the text alerts (I hate them) I wait until I get delivery and then reply Stop and you can sign up again next time you need a coupon. I had reward points from buying a computer ($10 for every $100 spent) so my final cost was $32 for two cases plus I used United shopping app to get miles and my INK business card which gives 5% back. Best I can do these days! I remember WAY back when paper was $37 a case with a $25 Visa card rebate.
