After 22+ years of loan signing, this business continues to deteriorate - see messages below re: scanbacks, hassles involving assignments, chiselers gnawing away at your notary fees (Timios at $80 and don't respond with any other fee as we will ignore it), scanbacks with no additional fees, more and more ridiculous redundant pages - 200 page loans (plus another copy for the borrower) that Quicken manages to get done with 85)...., I don't have to tell you - just preaching to the choir.
In any event, no one wants to pay you what you're worth, and the newbies (sorry newbies) are eating up the super low-ball fees, because they don't know any better, and these "signing companies" are wanting more and more of your fee that title pays (hence low newbie pay). Capitalism at its finest.
We test closed on 12/1/2020 and it was quite pleasant. Some withdrawal, but with the huge savings in gas, paper, travel, insurance, fees, advertising, car repairs, stationery, and all the other ancillary expenses, (AND, all the time I got back spent traveling and signing) I'm quite happy.
Anyway, good luck out there, stay safe, wear your masks and social distance (always fun to do at a signing).
