Ive said this many times: In tough times, the LSA's that hate this work and just don't like people will finally call "Uncle" and quit; those that never really got their business off the ground will give up (maybe they were not suited for the job, didn't market enough, got sidetracked with something else, ran out of money, didn't do the proper research, didn't anticipate the comittment required, moved, had a baby, etc). And I hate to say it, but it's true: There are many folks with good intentions that become a Notary Public, take classes, buy books, purchase expensive equipment and even write their business plan but never, ever, ever complete one single notarization let alone pursue a business as a Loan Signing Agent. This business is just not for everyone.
As you know, Renee, I am vocal about the, "it's none of my business" lines - don't analyze, just notarize. When I've gotten my panties in a wad about issues that I am not swearing to or have no solid facts/knowledge of (such as if they are married or not), I'm stepping onto a slippery slope that is not within my role as a Notary Public. Yes, Loan Signing Agents are much more than just than a Notary but as long as I'm not personally participating in any fraudulent acts, I get out as quickly as possible without comprimising courtesy and professionalism. |
