I just wanted to say that I have had good experiences working with Nationwide Signing Services. They are a local company here in AZ, I have completed quite a few signings for them and they always pay on time. It does take 30 days to get paid the first time but after that on the 1st and 15th of each month I receive an e-check. Don’t freak out if you get one of those. My bank didn’t know what the heck it was at first, now they are fine with it. I have had several other companies pay that way now, and I think it’s the wave of the future if you don’t have direct deposit. But Nationwide is good about helping if there is a problem at the signing, there is no micromanaging and their online closing out process is easy.

I have worked with them and they have always been professional, friendly and pay a reasonable fee. They are not low ballers.

My original post is three years old. I can’t say what working for them is like recently. They stopped calling me about a year ago when I started to get pickier about the jobs, only taking ones that were close to me, or close to their drop location because we were also required to drive extra distances to deliver docs as well as doing the signing, all for $85 for refi and $50 for a seller.
I couldn’t justify the extra cost for the fee. That is just for local notaries though, not people out of state. They pay higher fees for out of state signings.

Unfortunately, this company has gone downhill like many others which are poorly managed. And make sure you document the events concerning your closing with them. They will blame the notary for their mistakes or lack of coordination. In order to look good with the clients. I suggest that before you accept any offers do research the company and their history. And especially if they are not paying you for services rendered in a timely manner. Many of these companies go from one platform to the another once they built a bad reputation due to unethical practices. So beware, look into the companies history before taking an assignment. This will save you from getting involved with unnecessary drama and even from having these companies stigmatizing your profile. Make sure you mitigate any unwarranted and potential negative comments which may affect your profile and public image. And remember these companies share your personal information with each other. Now we all make mistakes and so do they. The problem that I have is many title companies and lenders are not willing to accept that they indeed made a mistake and will point towards the notary. So you become the fall guy. Now, I recently had a situation where a title company sent me an email stating that I missed the initials on the Uniform Residential Application and several signatures as well. The title company didn’t even look over the documents and didn’t proofread or review the scans. However they where quick in sending an email to the company which hired me for the closing. I went back and reviewed the scans and then pointed out to the title company that they were incorrect and I had no errors. I pointed out each discrepancy one by one. Well the title company didn’t even apologize and then the company which hired me wanted to enter the so-called errors on the remark section of my profile. I presented my mitigation circumstances and as a remedy. I instructed them to delete the inaccurate information. And they did. Do I care if they don’t call me back for an assignment? Of course not. Why would you want to do any work with them? So once again please look into the companies before taking an assignment. I’m retired after serving my country and the federal government for over 35 years. However, I do realize that many of you which participate in this platform are doing this work full time. It’s hard. Once again take your time and do your research before taking any assignments. You will benefit greatly doing so.

@algalafa Absolutely an accurate statement!
It has happened repeatedly over the years & is an immoral, shameful, and abhorrent demonstration of a complete & total lack of ethics.
.
As I often express on the Notary Cafe forum:
ALWAYS perform your OWN due diligence PRIOR TO providing professional services to a client that is NEW to your business.
SPECIAL NOTE: Accessing the database to locate information about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . . 
Just FYI They were going to assign me for a signing and emailed me about a witness needing to be provided. When I asked for additional compensation for a witness, the assignment was “no longer available”. Interesting.

Stay away from them. I had them tell me that I had a FedEx nearby and that I failed the drop the package in timely manner. Then their representative went on a rant which I stopped. I asked her where did you get your information and you are the manager? Hmm. really. My response was the nearest FedEx is in Georgetown which is 12 miles away and on Saturdays their last pick up is 1pm. And she was finished reviewing the documents after 1:30pm or so. Go figure and it appears that she didn’t know what time zone I was at. This is the inconsistency and incompetence that many of these companies display. And of course they will make the notary their scapegoat. Don’t allow it. And if they take you off their list you are probably better off. Why work with drama queens who are irrational in their behavior. My take. Don’t get involved with these types of companies who only create trouble. And many of them are struggling and so are the lenders and title companies due to a weak housing market. I take it that they are under pressure however they need to tone it down a bit too. Follow the reviews and let the reviews make their own grave. One company told me it’s your word against mine. My response was no it’s not it’s on you too. I checked your reviews. Take care and have a great day.

Concur! Great response for the ending. I have had a signing agency speak to me very sarcastically after I asked for payment when they were “ghosting” me. They definitely monitor these forums because he mentioned the post I made about payment delays. It is unprofessional and I do not why they go into business and speak down on the mobile notaries that are just trying to complete the task timely & accurately. Thank God for these informative forums! We can vet and do our own “ghosting” no one deserves that type of treatment.
