@sanderazee Yes, absolutely accurate for some regions, but it’s also true that there are some remote locations wherein the Professional Signing Agent [PSA] can successfully negotiate a reasonable Fee for the professional services to be provided.
This can be quite frustrating regarding the disparity of vendor management from region-to-region. Unfortunately, it’s completely contingent upon the PSA saturation in your region and the Fees your competition is willing to accept . . .

As I often express it’s all about location, Location, LOCATION (just as in other Real Estate transactions).
===>>> Over the years I’ve noticed that occasionally PSAs will relocate from their home base region to a different region/state that is booming with Signing Orders [SOs]. Of course, most don’t have that type of luxury choice available.
As business owners, we each must make appropriate decisions regarding ensuring the stability of our business from a financial as well as time standpoint. It can be quite challenging in this business sector.
