Low ball offers and negotiations

I’m doing this business for 6 years and it was pretty interesting, at first. The pay was not out of this world but OK. Then, interest rates went down and work was plentiful. Then, COVID hits and you know the rest. These platforms are easy for the customers to use & I’m sure they’re costly. The notary, who is the backbone of the business activity is now squeezed by just about everyone, with the constant threat of being blackballed by the platforms. Loan signings and modifications has become a real BS business and I now hate it. I cannot even get excited about helping the signers, who really need the assistance. I’ve received $25 offers to drive 37 miles & I get so angry. I’ve turned down 99% of my offers for the last 9 months because I refuse to work at payment so low, I feel like I’m subsidizing the title companies. And yes, there is zero loyalty.
