Most would probably say 'run', but I prefer 'depends'... Most of the time, the best answer is probably to run, but once in a rare while those types of things come from someone who has a contract and/or a good relationship with a local title company or two with mostly local work. So my approach has been to talk to the scheduler or owner (preferably) and ask lots of questions. [In my experience, you have a better chance if the person you're talking to is an owner/operator themselves and not a scheduler (with a salary to be paid).]
The last time I accepted one of those exceptions was from another notary with a title co relationship. She not only sounded professional and knowledgeable, but she offered a rate I was fine with and said she pays right away - not waiting until she gets paid. Magic words, IMO, and she was true to her word. The vast majority of the time, I don't accept. |
