I am a new notary still trying to get my feet off the ground. I just recently moved to Tampa, FL about a month ago and am slowly, but surely building my network down here.
I noticed for a while now I’ve been receiving emails from Timios, Inc. for loan signings even before I moved. However, I did not give them that email, so I thought it was spam since I get a ton of those.
I began to reach out to them via phone about a week ago and left several voicemails. Plus, I recently emailed two of their emails and still heard nothing back, but still get their emails to my old address.
Does or has anyone here worked with them before? Every time I call, I get an automated voice machine that says to leave a voicemail for I think “Michael Crowder.”
Has anyone else had this issue? I wonder now if they even still have a notary/vender department at this point because I’ve read good reviews on them before, but get nothing back.
Also, does anyone have any good ideas on how to get my notary business off the ground? I’ve read a thread on here and another website where it talks about title companies and I’ve signed up/reached out to whoever I could. I have forwarded them my new location as well. My goal is to get like 3 jobs a day or at least 1 every other day for now. Plus, I listed several counties that I’d travel to and that I am willing to travel up to 100 miles.
Does anyone here have any advice or ideas on how to get started and receive signings in central Florida? I know I’m in a good area, so now I’m just waiting to get started.
If you have any title companies to suggest, too or anything else that you think can help me, I’m open to all suggestions.
Yes, indeed. I am contracted with them and worked with them in the past. I’m trying to figure out how to get more jobs with them or any company for that matter.
Yes, I already filled out an application with them.
I’m trying to understand why I can never get a call or email back after I’ve reached out to them multiple times. They keep sending me jobs to my old location, but I can never get a hold of anybody. I need them to update it because their site won’t let me on my end, unless someone here knows how to do it.?
Does anyone here have any other form of contact for them? I’m beginning to think I have been calling the wrong number all along even though it’s listed on their website as well as their application form.
Ive recently had a bad experience with Timios, they were paying me $125 for a refinance and they sent me 4 files to print. Printed and did scanbacks as required. Later they reached out to me that i didn’t print 1 file. I told them i had printed the 4 file and had X amount of pages. They told me I was missing 1 file totalling 5 files. I said no, I have total of 4 files and that 5th one wasnt there. I was told the 5th file wasn’t there before it was assigned me. I print out every order for my records and it only shows 4. Now they reduced my fee to $62.50. I dont want to let this go. Its ridiculous. I did what was asked of me and they are tryi g to penalize me.
I’ve been doing real estate signings for 4.5 years and occasionally I’ll do one for Timios. Their jobs always seem to have hair on 'em and I often have difficulty collecting my well-earned fee - but - I always get it. Y’all are warned, they can be a bit of a challenge. Phone 'em up right away if you don’t get paid as agreed. They’ll pay.
When I started I did a ton of work for Timios. But they offer a flat $90 and do not accept counter offers. I could get a small bump for printing because the lenders they handle are regularly up to 200 pages a package. It was great training. But $90 for 200 pages is a fee I can’t sustain any longer. I’m still signed up with them but I only take their jobs offered via snapdocs because an offer from that platform allows a counter offer. First year I worked I’d do 10-15 a month for Timios. As I’ve gained experience there are other platforms paying me more for good volume as well. Crowder is very responsive I did like working with Timios.
