Just because a person isn't full-time doesn't necessarily mean they are not serious. And it is not just some part-timers that are taking the low ball fees. I sign part time and I have a set fee and stick to it. I am in it for income, not to chase around and not make anything. There are signing agents in my area who call themselves "full-time" who take the $50, $60, $70, etc. calls that I turn down. Someone is doing them and I can promise it's not me.
As for not having the expenses that a "full time" signing agent has, I have to pay the same expenses as anyone else - printers, paper, toners, phone, etc.
