I think it's a personal decision and all in the math. Do you get enough closings now to make it worth your while to make a living off of the traditional way? If yes, divide that probably in half and that will be your new reality, and add your start-up expense the cost of your seal use. Will they pay the same? Nope, or they wouldn't be doing it. Lets say the price offered is 50% less for example and for easy math, you need twice the offers coming in now to make a living...I don't know about anyone else, I am not turning away that much business and 3-4 closings a day steady is busy for me. I don't have 8, or 12, or 16 coming in to turn down, so for me, not seeing a profit margin enough to pay my expenses.
Will that increase because we can notarize for anyplace at anytime? Maybe. Or maybe just for your state?
If you are lucky and turning more closings down than taking and can expand staying home, it might be worthwhile. |
