Anyone ever receive a signing order that listed a zip code, but when you entered the address into google maps, the address entered comes up in another zip code? That happened to me today with a same day signing order assignment. That inconsistency in zip codes caused an usual occurrence. For example, today’s order said 32229, but google map took me to the zip code 32224 area. That’s a HUGE difference, since those zip codes are on opposite sides of town! It really messes with my time and mileage estimates. Same-day orders can be tricky, but I wouldn’t trade this job for anything!
@cfletcher Of note, sometimes where there’s a delta between the property address Zip Code and the signers preferred signing location Zip Code when this scenario can arise. Of course, there are other possible scenarios that can cause it, but in general, that is when I see it.
We have a few areas here where the city has changed and the address listed is sometimes in a different city than what is listed. These are just name changes so distance is the same. It can be confusing though when you put it in your gps and it gives you a completely different city as the destination.
Yep. Had a blast offer a couple of days ago that said signing location was (city of) Nevada with a zip code of 94949. That zip is for the city of Novato --it’s about 2hr30min from me. Nevada City, which also in Northern California, has a zip of 95959 – it’s about 1hr20min from me. I declined saying signing location was too vague and gave them the above info. Never did hear back from anyone …
Not sure if this has application to your particular case, but zip codes are based on the USPS determination of the most convenient and logical route for driver delivering mail to and from post office, not city or county map indicating where property is physically located. Because I was already aware of this anomaly, it has saved me some grief in a recent signing where I also experienced your problem. The title company bases documents on physical location and not a mailing adddress which can differ. The borrower/applicant usually states their physical location and not the post office handling their mail.
