Completed an assignment in April, been looking/awaiting payment since May. Was able to contact someone last week. She couldn’t answer the question so I called back two days later and a guy answered to say the sellers deal fell through so they didn’t make any money. So…what does that have to do with me? I completed the assignment. I did my part. I was offered $50 to “make it right.” Ugggghhhh, the signing was for $75. Has anyone experienced this?
Usually there is language about payment if the sale falls through. Being that you did what YOU were supposed to do, I would following normal invoicing and collection actions. Its not your fault they didn’t make money, but you provided a service as an agreed fee and should receive that FULL FEE. Just be sure to read the instrutions if you still have them (I save them in a folder for this very reason) to lean on. Good luck and let us know if you get paid.
Hopefully this was in your state - I would check the recorder’s office and see if the deed YOU notarized was recorded…that’s your “got’cha” to the company and your demand for full payment, plus late fees.
When I started, my mentor told me in deals that fail to fund payment is often waived. Same if a signer cancels in 3 days. Fortunately, it hasn’t happened in six years. But I was told it is usual.
