I’ve been getting a few signings thru various signing companies thru Snapdocs. I am finding that the lack of information about the loan package makes it impossible for me to know if the fee they are offering is enough. I am assuming that the title companies know how many pages and how many notarizations are needed before they send out the order to the signing companies, so not sure why they can’t include that information. It’s like asking a painter to paint your house for $200, but not telling them the size it is or what needs to be painted. The last time I accepted one, it turned out to be a refi with 150 pgs with scan backs and had 15 notarizations plus 45 additional signatures! I have never seen that many notarizations/sigs in any other package I’ve done before. Most of my signings take under 45 min, and this one took 1.5 hrs!! If they would just include #pages and #notarizations, it would make it easier to schedule signings as well as figure out fees. I can’t think of any other service industry where you would offer someone a fee without giving them any info about the job. Does anyone know why they don’t give out all the info? (Other than the obvious where they don’t want to in order to be able to low ball). TIA!
In this biz, the ‘obvious answer’ is usually the correct one. SnapDocs is 110% pro-hiring party, so if they were to insist upon accurate info, they’d lose their clientele. I ‘think’ that # of pages is ‘optional info’ that they can enter, but why would they when not stating it catches more fish.
Thx! I assumed as much, just makes it difficult to schedule other things after since you really have no clue how long it will take without any if that info. also hard to figure if amount is worth it. Guess it’s a chance thing.
Tj I’ve been doing this for over 12 years the first thing I ask is what’s the zip code and put in my maps to see about where located then the price. If they have docs already they can tell you how many pages don’t be afraid to ask questions
I’m just chiming in on your post and I feel you. This biz where newbies who keep accepting the low offers are definitely making it worse for notaries and these companies need to be put out of business. There is way too many sharks out there trying to make a profit out of title companies and notaries.
