How long have any of you been with SnapDocs and how often do you get work from them? Not just a text notification, but actual Signings. I have received several text notifications about signings in the last two weeks since signing up with them, but never get assigned to any. Signingorders.com has been great at sending notifications and assigning work.
I have been on the Snapdocs platform & Signing Order/NotaryResume since July 2023. I get offers all the time; most are when I am not available.
- Have a Friend or Family member look at your profile description and give you feedback.
- Also, ask ChatGPT to assist you in finetuning your profile description to match the tone that you are looking for. (Professional, Friendly, etc.) You can ask it to rewrite it in a āProfessional and Friendly toneā
Something else to consider is if you are in a large population area, with lots of other notaries, your āAssignment Rateā may be reduced.
Both SnapDocs (SD) and SigningOrders (SO) are platforms. Think of them as bulletin boards. Hiring entities (i.e. signing services, title/escrow companies, etc.) post their job openings with them. SD/SO send out blast offers (usually for disgustly low fees) to all notaries within a given āxā radius of the job. Whichever notary accepts the quickest, gets the assignment.
IME several years ago, there was at least 2 companies that phoned me directly and when I accepted, they would send the confirmation, the docs and the pay through SD. I donāt believe that happens anymore. One of those companies is an SS that uses SD for the entire process now. The other is a TC that goes through another platform now.
To anwer OPās initial question: Iāve been registered with both SD and SO for several years. However, I seldom work through them as the hiring companies usually donāt accept my counter fee offer. Thatās okay. I prefer to work smarter, not harder.
I donāt think QUICK cuts it. CHEAP is all theyāre looking for. The offered fee on many of the blasts I get would not even cover the actual cost of the gas to go that far away. Seems to me that even with the ones in my area, the offered fee merely covers actual expenses, leaving very little for your time. (less than minimum wage)
I can count on one hand how many jobs Iāve had with each platform. The only reason I stay is to see which formerly good-paying co. has joined the how-dumb-are-you lowball blasts that these platforms provide.
@takenotenotaryservices Concur percent with the above assessment as it mirrors reality in my direct experience.
Iāve never believed in accepting Low-Ball Signing Orders [SOs] that generate negative revenue (lose money when providing the professional service).
Some of the Fees that are proffered in recent months donāt even reimburse the Professional Signing Agent [PSA] for their actual out-of-pocket expenses.
.
Signed in 2021. I get a lot of offers but fees are down. I get probably ten or more a month. But there are days where I donāt get a text at all.
I signed up years ago. The offers that I recieve are typically low ball.
Iām on both platforms and typically get about four a week on Snapdocs and 4 a month on SO. Since Big Title rarely uses Snapdocs anymore, the jobs are fewer and further between. There are a number of companies on the SO platform that I have been working with since 2017. Even with that number of years of experience with them, they rarely will accept my counter-offer.
Same here. I receive numerous lowball offers that donāt cover the cost of gas or my time. But I have kept them on my app. I recently completed 1 RON order for $85 and that was the first Snap docs I have received in a long time. I agree that writing a good professional sounding profile is important. Using chatgpt for guidance is a good idea.
Snap docs doesnāt set the fees. Itās the title company that does that so if youāre getting low fee offers, all you have to do is tap on the order and put in the fee that you request and sometimes you get it and sometimes you donāt..
I like snapdocs website because it is so easy to use. Most the companies websites you have to search for all the questions and answers they need you to fill out. But I hate that I have to wait an extra 10 days to get paid. I keep wondering why the Title company doesnāt pay the notary right out of the money they disperse at the closing. It is a charge for the person they are working for and it would eliminate taking 45 days to get paid. Mortgage Connect took 8 months to pay me on two assignments. I canāt afford to have to wait so long.
When I say wait an extra 10 days that makes it 45 days to get paid. Why does it take Snapdocs so long to pay the notary when they already have the money from the notary company? That is my only complaint with snapdocs.
Snapdocs is a platform not a signing company other signing companies pass their orders through snapdogs.
You need to go sign up with the signing companies and the title companies.
I know work huh ā¦
Build your business.
Many title company notary sign up links take you to signingorder.com or other platforms. Others like First American Title only register notaries by invitation. The best advertising of service is to do error free work and deliver good customer service. Word gets around about good notaries just like word gets around about bad 3rd parties to work for.
I received my NSA certification in January 2025. Iāve joined several platforms and do receive notifications every week, but few have resulted in assignments. As a newer Notary(since June 2024), I will counter if itās super low-ball, but on occasion have agreed to a fee that is probably lower than what a very experienced Notary would accept.
From many of the comments here,it seems like the only way to really make any $, is to get direct relationships. I have a few direct with attorneys
for trust and LWT work. Those pay very fairly.
Donāt let anyone tell you what your appropriate fee is. Itās your fee. When your experience is limited, getting hired direct can also be a challenge. If youāre going full time at the job - itās not easy. Being brand new is not easy. I never found this forum the first year I worked. So I set my own reality and had a good mentor.
I, too, do not accept the lower fees for signings. Iāll wait until they pay a reasonable fee before accepting an order.
I do better with snapdocs than signingorder
Just want to clarify a few things. SnapDocs, SigningOrder and NotaryResume are NOT signing services. They are PLATFORMS used by any Signing Service (SS wannabe) willing to pay to āfind a notaryā. These PLATFORMS make it easy for Signing Services to do the things they must do to keep Title and Lenderās business. Lender chooses TitleāTitle seeks out Lenders. In reality, the PLATFORMS are yet another layer of middleman between Title & Notary. i.e. Lender/Title to SS to Platform to Notary. SS has to have Title business and some Title Co have cut them out by using the Platforms themselves.
There used to be people at a Title company who would schedule notaries and keep track of who they wanted to use. Those full time people arenāt there anymore near as I can tell. When I started signing up at Title website I noticed most use signingorder for notary sign ups. There are a small number of schedulers who call me for certain companies. But otherwise itās a competitive time constrained thing these days.
