Has anyone here gone through a phone interview with Solidifi? I have a phone interview with them on Tuesday! Is this company worth it?
From what Iâve read on forumsâŠanswer is area/competition-dependent. Just know that they were f/k/a Linear Title Co.
I have completed well over 30 closings for Solidifi and never had to do a phone interview.
They contact me when they need me in my area to make sure that I am available. Then I get the closing.
I never heard of Solidifi doing any type of interview.
Not fair! I will ask why. They better be worth it! Plus I will have to set my fee high for putting me through the wringer!
My experience with them is the same as bmcnotaryrepublic. My guessâŠthey already have more than needed, so theyâre now doing interviews prior to adding someone; possibly even looking for someone cheaper. If you get an answer as to âwhy interviewâ, please let us know. There is one very large co. (not Solidifi) who will periodically call to flatter you with how much they like your work and want to âlet you know how to get more volumeââŠreally easyâŠjust be the cheapest, but if you fall for that, they call everyone else with the ânewest low fee to beat for more volumeâ.
I saw in a different forum that you are a new notary, just getting started, so perhaps thatâs why they are interviewing you to see just want all you know about this industry. You must have at least 2 years of experience plus ++++ signings under your belt to be âwell qualifiedâ as a signing agent. You have a lot of professional experience and it is quite impressive (I do as well) but when it comes to this business, NONE of that matters. I am going to keep it â100â with you and not that you asked me, but I donât think you want a carrot dangled in your face. You are too professional for that. Signing companies are in the business of making as much money as they can off of us, the signing agent. Donât be fooled. And becoming âFidelity Certifiedâ is nothing special for you, unless you are working directly with Fidelity and getting paid directly from Fidelity and not some signing company. Even someone as professional and experienced as you will have a very, very, very, very hard time working directly with Fidelity without someone on the inside paving the way. Welcome to the Notary Signing Agent world
Just got done with the interview:). Iâm in:)
Hello, I just concluded a phone call with Solidfi as I have also submitted credentials to become an NSA for the company. I inquired as to why there are interviews as I have not experienced this with other companies with which I contract. The gentleman I spoke to stated, âWe have Tier-1 lenders that are requiring us to have interviews on file.â
I am interviewing with them on Monday.
Yep, he told me the same. Good luck! Hopefully theyâll
send some good deals!
I wonder if they pulled away from Snapdocs. Thats the platform they were using.
I wonder, too. Iâve done Solidifi through Snapdocs.
If you donât mind me asking, what did the interviewer ask on the interview?
Honestly, the interviewer was very nice and professional. He asked the normal NSA job related questions and a couple questions like what kind of scanner and printer I have. Iâm not sure if they ask everybody different questions based on their experiences but I got in with them immediately. They gave me three loans immediately. I completed one loan and gave back 2 immediately! I got paid for the one Iâve completed within seven days and then I dropped them immediately because of the slow docs. I asked them to remove my name off their list! Who knows you may have better experience than I do.
Not my most favorite: Only use text App. Fee offered always too low, but do negotiate. Always want full scanbackârarely waive it. Late docs pretty normal, early never. A dozen or more notarizations. 150+ pages. Pay fast, but if you use Direct Deposit, youâre never advised itâs coming. FWIW: I applied and was turned down because I didnât want to use the App because cells are very unreliable in my rural area. Then they started calling or e-mailing me anywayâŠand itâs always a hassle because I donât use the App.which they use to micromanage you.
Receiving slow docs is not the fault of the Title Company or the Signing Company. It is the fault of the Lenderâs not having any regard for the notaries in the field with back to back closings and need all there documents the day before the closing. They are in there comfortable air conditioned offices processing there loans and getting them to the Title Company or Signing company 2 hrs. before time too close. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO US IN THE FIELD!!! It works great for notaries who only close 1 or 2 loans closings a day, but if you are closing one every 1 1/2 hours you need your documents the night before. Title Companies and Signing Companies are afraid to tell them to please get documents to the sooner so the Notaries can schedule there appointments and keep on time without out waiting on documents. Good luck on seeing that change.
Unfortunately, they couldnât even get the docs in within two hour! I got mine 30 minutes before my scheduled closing time even though Iâve accepted the signing 4 days before the closing date! I even spent 3 days begging and reminding them that I have a few closings and would like to have their docs ready for printing the night before or by a certain time in the morning before I leave for other closings. Horrible, never again. No thank you.
They want us to call the customer to confirm on time, sure no problem!
They want us to arrive to the closing location on time, sure no problem!
They want us to execute closing perfectly on time without an error, and report completion, sure no problem!
They want us to mail docs back with receipt at UPS or FedEx on time, sure no problem!
All we are asking for is to please have docs ready for printing on time! Big problem.......
Perhaps they have turned over a new leafâŠI was never impressed with their Snapdocsâ fees.
Hence Iâve never worked for them after they changed from Linear Title to Solidifi. Their recent ratings in 2018 werenât so favorable.
None the less, Iâm willing to give them a second chance, if docs arrive timely. Iâm over 13th hour assignments and last minute docs from any vendor.
Just did one this week for them. More Notarizations then others require So a lot more time. That was the only issue I had
How did you get your phone interview? Did they reach out to you first for the phone interview or did you have to call 1-800-663-2209?
