I have not completed a single closing this month. Here are some of the reasons.
1) A particular SS contracted me to act as signing agent on 2 separate occasions. However, when the borrowers saw the HUD figures, each cancelled because that was not what they wanted to do. Their third call, I was unavailable.
2) A new company contacted me to travel 35 miles one way offering my 20 mile rate. I requested a little more for time and distance. They will not pay more, so I agree to the lesser fee. Send my standard "no matter what, if I complete signing I get full pay within 30 days" acknowledgement, and they cannot agree to that, so they cancel me.
3) LOTS of anywhere from $30 for a 75 mile trip to $75 for high-page-lender-docs requests. I am unwilling to compromise on those.
I anticipate getting last minute calls over the holiday because I will be available most of the time. Perhaps they'll meet my fees then.
My monthly income is still good because of many GNW requests that pay upon delivery of my services. And I expect several of those calls this weekend too. |
