I see in my signing order account a refi, 1st only, edoc. It does not say how many pages and is for tomorrow for $100. Can someone please tell me how many pages this may be and if the price is normal for central Texas? This would be my 1st assignment and there are no details for me to make a decision, like fax back or anything….
Seems you won’t know enough about that file until/unless you respond and get the actual instructions and/or docs. It’s my understanding that if you’re signing a refi with cash out, you’ll need to sign in the office of a titile company or attorney’s office. To do that, you may need to rent some space in their offices. If that’s the case, is $100 enough to cover that rent plus all your other expenses plus a profit?
Accept the offer if you want and then you may need to turn it back once you know more about it. OR, simply counter now for whatever fee works for you.

I thought it was only TX HELOCs that had to be signed in TC or atty office? Also, yeah, you never get ALL the info required to determine if it’s profitable or a loser. IOW: the problem with platforms.

Perhaps both Arichter and I are incorrect?? According to Home Equity Loan Requirements, it’s for a “home equity LOAN” that they require it be signed at TC or attorney or banker’s office.
Sure wish a knowledgeable Texas notary would chime in …

I’m In Texas. If scans are needed ask for more money usually $10-$25 more depends on the company. If you get the assignment directly from a title company you should ask for the highest amount they pay well.
HELOC assignments I will make $175-$300. Take into account you pay an office fee and print fee (you will need to give the signers a copy of the executed docs). I would like to connect if you have any questions.

For a refi edoc, it’s usually 100–150 pages in my experience, so $100 feels a bit low unless it’s super local and no scanbacks. I’d message them and ask for page count before accepting, saves surprises.
I would love to connect with you, are you anywhere near Austin? My email for contracts and info is hservplus@gmail.com
Standard page count is between 130 and 150.
Hi there! I just did a cash out- refi closing and it had to take place at either a title company or an attorney’s office. The reason why is because of the cash out portion of this refi. The borrowers are taken out a loan against the equity in their house similar to a HELOC. That is why in Texas a cash out - refi must be done in the above mentioned offices.
I had my first Cash out - refi closing yesterday (I’ve done multiple HELOCS and REFIs, but never this type of combination). I had to make arrangements at a title company to get it done and I was paid $230, of which $30 went for the room rental. The reason why this particular closing must be done at either an attorney’s office or a title company is for the Cash out portion of this refi closing. Similar to a HELOC, Texas states that these types of closings must take place in the above mentioned offices.
My package included 207 pages x 2!
I would love to connect with you also, merryessajohnese1@gmail.com thanks in advance
Refis are usually pretty thick docs, so $100 isn’t great unless it’s super simple - personally I’d message them first and get all the missing details before committing.
A signing service rarely takes into account the number of pages when pricing a job. They categorize it by signing type (refi, purchase, seller, heloc, etc). They have a perceived notion of how complex these packages are, and sometimes can be totally wrong about it.
