I stopped working for them several years ago. They are nothing but scam artists!! She seems to lie about how large the package is and then unwilling to negotiate. Done with them! Another SS to cross off my list!!
Boycott Coast 2 Coast low ball rates. If we stick together as a group, they will get the message.
LasVegasNSA,
I agree with you. Why are you guys accepting such low pay? Thatâs crazy. How can you ever get paid more if you work for so little. It is not in your best interest.
I canât answer the question, honestly. I see this all too often, even now, three years later there are still new notaryâs who are accepting signings for pennies. I received a request today for a signing in Mesquite (about an hour and a half drive, one way) for $45!!! This averages out to about $12.85!!! And I havenât calculated the printing costs or the gas to get there and back!!! Like, WHOOOOOOOOA!!!
I have chided where is Norma Rae when we need her. The newbies just see $$. As long as they take those lowball offers, they will exist. I just divorced myself from Coast2coast and Sunshine Signing for that very reason! What a great feeling not receiving those insulting assignments!
I ask how many pages, then if it is more before I print I ask them for more money. Sometimes they pay more, and if not I let them reassign it.
Hello,
Iâm a newbie and I havenât had to many low ball offers. Most are $75 and up. Now that we are following CDC guidelines and dealing with COVID-19 the issue for me isnât the fee but the terms of payment. I do not see myself waiting a Net 30, 45, or 60 days and beyond to get $75. Iâm not sure what condition the economy is going to be in within that time-frame. Everyone should think about this when they are accepting jobs at the rate they want but will you receive the payment? NET 15 is my max. Iâve had a few companies comply but for the most part I havenât been doing as may signings and Iâm okay with that.
Just so you know - $75 is a âlowballâ offer - you should be getting $100 or more for each loan signing - extended travel? extra; scanbacks? extra; same-day drop required? extra; outside standard business hours? extra
If youâre settling for $75, youâre selling yourself short - revisit your business plan and expenses and start demanding what youâre worth.
As for time to pay - back when I did them net 30 was a good guidelines; anything over that, without knowing in advance, was a no no and a late fee was charged; 60 days? (or in the case of some of these companies lately, 45 âbusiness daysâ) - no way. AgainâŠprotect yourself - donât be taken advantage of like that.
Agree with LindaH. Please donât lower the bar⊠Even $100 is less than what they used to pay.
I wonât do a signing for under 90, and it has to be real close to me. Farther out I up the fee. Works for me so far. If I donât get the signing I was offered I know another notary did it for less, which hurts all us Notary Publics.
