Hello,
I have received four job offers sent to my phone. The rates were too low for the time, considering a four-hour round-trip drive. I asked for 175, but the last price they gave was 235.00. When I went to accept it, another person had taken it.
I have that happen all four times. My question how do you negotiate the price and still get the job?
There is no magic equation. They probably offered 235 because someone countered with that and that’s who they were going to go with. But no one can say for sure.
@rmevans5 As an Independent Contractor, the scenario is Bidding on potential Signing Order(s) [SOs].
Unfortunately, there are no guarantees.
Some Business Owners/Independent Contractors opt to NOT receive potential Signing Order(s) [SOs] from Signing Services [SSs] that proffer Low-Ball Fees.
Their perspective is that the interruption is not worth the time to counter and then not receive the SO anyway . . .
Others have the perspective to counter the proffered Low-Ball Fee with the hope of receiving the SO at a fair rate.

As a business owner, each person must decide what will work within their Schedule of Fees that they’ve created.
If you haven’t yet created a Schedule of Fees, please reference this direct Notary Cafe url for a pertinent thread on that topic:
