CaliNotary - I would tend to agree with you in some respects. However, it is not necessarily true that the "notary fee is already built into the loan". It may or may not.
I did not give my point of view as an "absolute". I offered it as my opinion, based on my experience.
And there are other factors involved, such as how saturated the notary's area is, how far a drive [in my experience - holiday traffic is much heavier, at least in my area - therefore - more time on the road and more gas (in California it is approx 2.40 in my area)] and who her client is. Generally speaking - lenders, title and escrow companies value the extra effort put forth by the notary. There are a few signing services that I do work for on a regular basis that also value the extra effort.
But there are many who do not.
That's why I offered my input as just my opinion based on my experience. And, by all means I hope my first post did not sound like I was suggesting she charge a LOT more for the holiday. I figured others will have good input as well - as you did. Have a great Thanksgiving!
