What do you have listed for YOUR fees? I have experience with seller signings, New Build buyer signings(D.R. Horton homes), Loan Mods, and VA Loans, so there are still plenty I have not come across yet. I don’t want to under price my fees… **Loan Signing:** **Full Purchase:** **Reverse Mtg.:** **Extra for EDOCS:** **Loan Application:** **Cash Deal:** ---

Doesn’t matter to SO what you’ve posted as ‘your fees’. We ALL get the same way too low offers. ---

I agree! My fees are higher than many in the area I know, but yikes I still see them come through $40 for a Refi w/scans. I’m further out in a county and my radius is larger. I keep it higher so I don’t have to accomodate my budget for a closing 50 miles away versus 5. Lately most appointments are out of my coverage area, but I do get the expedited appointment approved usually. ---

NOPE. Just figure it out on your own what it cost YOU to do the signing and then decide what to charge on your own. **Everyone must decide their own prices.** We cannot collude and set prices – that is called PRICE FIXING and is prohibited by the Federal Trade Commission. > **[Price Fixing](https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/guide-antitrust-laws/dealings-competitors/price-fixing)** > > Price fixing is an agreement (written, verbal, or inferred from conduct) among competitors to raise, lower, maintain, or stabilize prices or price levels. ---

Don’t worry, I don’t plan on price fixing, especially since I am asking on a national forum and I don’t know any local notaries… ---

Yes, you are posting your pricing question which will be read by thousands on a public forum – that is very much my point. Please read the FTC link I shared with you. ---

I stressed over this when I first created a profile with them too. Don’t. Nobody looks at your choice of fees. You could put $500 in every spot, or $2 in every spot, and it would make no difference. ---

the signing companies seem to do just that shop for the cheapest fee. who protects us to be able to charge a fair fee we can survive on, or one that’s fair for the signing at hand. ---

A reasonable question, Francis. If you are a member of a notary association such as National Notary Association [www.NationalNotary.org](http://www.NationalNotary.org), you could contact them to request advocacy. Other than that, each independent contractor is on his/her own. ---
