Coast 2 Coast, is a global signing service
Who has encountered this company? And what can one expect?
They recently sent out an e-mail about a very small pkg. for $35, so this is most likely one of âthoseâ. Donât remember details & have deleted the e-mail. C2C pays in 30 BUSINESS days, but, in reality, itâs usually a week or more later than thatâŠor somewhere around 65 to 75 days. Also seems you always have to ask when youâll be paid.
Iâve done a few jobs for Coast 2 Coast in the past, but they removed me from their list when I called out one of their employees for being rude. Funny thing is, Coast 2 Coast have been sending me offers left and right, but for the appalling $30 offers, which I always refuse.
As in the words of Thanos from Avengers: Endgame, " You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to meâŠ"
C2C is ok for beginners but once youâve had a few signings just drop them.
I have also been removed from their service for standing up for my commission. I have also been short paid for a job where they said I printed the docs before confirming the order, therefore I was ineligible for payment. This was a job that was two trips for over 100mi and the trip and print fee they paid me was $40.
I am happy not to be in their system since the are always the lowest offers and they are notorious for throwing the notary under the bus to the client.

Donât do signing for them. They exploit new notaries, start with FieldChoice in Newport Beach to get experience under your belt.

I will never understand why people are taking loan signing so low! I have 4 today itâs Sunday on my way to My 2nd closing and just checking this site because itâs interesting:).
I asked for $50 more each on top of my regular rate which isnât low for working on Sunday and title company approved without hesitation. 
.
Iâve completed many regular re-fi jobs with C2C and have no complaints and Iâve refused a lot of C2C jobs that were the $30. loan modification jobs. The say âitâs only 30 to 40 pagesâ and that may be BUT Iâve found that 30 to 40 pages take just as much time as 130 pages over all.

Yes. Thank you all for the responses. I have yet to take a Signing as I value my time too much to start undercutting myself right from the start. I Got into this by moving outside of the private-sector because it seemed pretty lucrative. I did check out Signing Agent Basics on YouTube here is the link (at the request of another NSA here on this forum): https://youtu.be/MsyeV_fsJwk
I fail to see how $35 can cover anything besides getting out of the office and into the car. As part of the notary codeâwhich is not lawâwe are not supposed to rally together to fix priceâ22 CFR 22 Notary Public Fees has already made this guideline for âUSâ.
However, even though we are âtechnicallyâ in a state of âsoftâMarshall-Lawâ âwhich means a suspension of the US Constitutionâwe still can exercise our inalienable-right to contract and thus work with The CFR â code of federal regulationsâ prescribed âSCHEDULE OF FEESâ for notarial acts (which are manyâand are specific to a notaryâs capacities).
Those are fees for consular services - not notary public services. Many of the items outlined to be done are not allowed to be done by a state-commissioned notary public - like certifying copies of vital statistic documents (birth death, marriage certs etc)
And we are not under Martial Law (yet) and the Constitution has not been suspendedâŠbut this turns political so Iâll say no more.

I receive a lot of orders from C2C for Loan Modifications. I am given a window of 7 days to book and keep. The pay is low, $30 but the appointment is less than 25 minutes and only two sets of 15-17 pages.
If you are satisfied with doing $30 per signing Iâm happy for you. Definitely do what makes you happy. I will consider myself a real blessing because I am actually struggling to accept lowest $150 loan signings. And busy seven days a week. 5 to 7 loan signings a day Mon-Friday and 4-5 signings on weekends. Plus I get paid more for working on weekends.
Remember, these arenât full loans - theyâre small modifications - in and out in minutes (unless youâre in CA where the journaling takes up more time than the signing doesâŠlol).
I would not do them for $30 here either - very rural so travel time/mileage is an issue. The only way I would even consider this fee is (a) Iâm going right by the signerâs location and no scanbacks - itâs get it signed and drop off; and (b) signers already have paperwork - I would not include printing two sets for this fee.
My opinion only.

I am aware of how many pages:). Again I will consider myself a real blessing:) 
Bancserv called me to do single document signing that has about four pages, 6 minutes from my house for $75! I said no and asked for $100. They were not happy with me. I thought theyâll never call me again but immediate got $200 refi:). They know that I donât bother them for questions, and always gave them perfect and zero error loan packages. These recent weeks, they are sending out a bunch of their âblastâ off deals which I canât participate because they are only flat fee $100 per. No thanks. Too low.

Notaries are a dime a dozen. Clients are their lifeblood. Itâs no wonder that theyâll always side with the client. Yes, as soon as you get into a dispute with C2C about anything, theyâll drop you from their list and youâll have to grovel to get back on it. Like you said, theyâre ok for newbies just getting their feet wet, but once you get some experience behind you, itâs time to move on from C2C.

VIP, what city are you working from?
Iâm in the Denver Metro area. I think most notaries here are super busy and may be booked every day. There are so many refis here. I think some title or signing companies canât even get some of their loans assigned to notaries! But I could be wrong! All I know is that I am very busy. Iâm booked 7 days a week 5-8 signings a day now! I had to give up this Sunday signings so I can spend time with my family. And I will not work on Sunday again. Need one day off! Plus I play in a USTA tennis league so at least I have to take a few hours off once a week to play before I run off to do closings! Yep, crazy busy here.

Just an observationâŠthis business is a numbers game. The higher population & income areas, the more jobs available. Also the reverse can be trueâŠthe higher the population, the more NSAs/competition available. The trick is to find your niche.
