I am so sorry to hear this, sincerely. Don't beat yourself up on this, I believe it is their end game to eliminate most Signing Agents and go with their own team in-house in a central location closing all their loans themselves nationwide as employees.
They had the money to back Ron, promote Ron, and only makes sense that in the end as more states pass this and are accepting Ron that they do away with the last trailing factor, which is the mobile NSA paying them by closing rather than by the hour in-house. This is just my take on what is happening here as they phase out the rollout to the last chapter. It's my belief they used mobile notaries to work out the kinks (guinea pigs), and now that they worked out the issues on large scale are phasing the pay-by-closing notary out of the equation, making it cost-effective pay by the hour in a holding pen located somewhere in cheap state USA. This is just speculation on my part, as seeing more and more in-house Rons than ever before at my local title companies. It doesn't make sense from a business point of view to keep us around if the end game is to save money for their year-end bonuses and promotions. Cramming in as many closings as possible at $$ an hour from one location, all set up, all the bells and whistles provided doing back-to-back-to-back closings for example is better than paying a notary $65.00 for each one. Let's face it, we have to move on. This downtime is a perfect time they can really roll this out when slow, and this downtime is when we really need to think about our next chapter. |
