If you are paying the fees then you are the one to determine where it is spent. If you have a friend who is a signing agent then you should be able to use her assuming you are the one paying for the service. As an aside, if you aree useing an agent/Realtor then they should be the one to explain the purpose of each document, then the only thing you need is to notarize the deed of trust, etc. You shouldn't have to pay a big signing fee on your own purchase. That's my 2cents worth. |
