I agree with you whole heartedly! I hate reading the postings talking about not educating the competition, the notary market being saturated and complaining about the people who are willing to take $40 for a closing.
I believe one of the reasons a person chooses to take a $40 closing is to get the experience. I can't fault them for that. I strive to be the best at everything I do. I haven't ever taken a $40 signing because I have the confidence in myself and present myself in a way to show I am a professional and warrant the higher fee.
SS's know what they're paying for and care little for their reputation and more about making a fast buck; so they are solicit the inexperienced.
By sharing information AND KNOWLEDGE and stroking a newbie's ego you're helping yourself. A newbie is going to feel more confident and less willing to accept those $40 signings. There's always more than one side to a story and more than one way to run a business.
I hope people open their eyes and ears and realize this and stop bashing others. |
