Would you take the job or turn it down?

I already charge $50 extra for CountryWide and FiServe loans because of the volume of pages and the faxbacks. I'm going up across the board.

Why does everyone think the notary ( the one traveling, listening, putting up with traffic, dogs, kids, you name it) doesn't deserve to be paid a decent wage? I have increased my fees a little to compensate for the gas prices and so far most places are accepting it.

Do you think I would loose biz if I increased the fee? I'm in a rural area of AZ. and not too many notaries in the area. What say all of you?; ▶ Reply to This

Yes, you may lose some but you will gain higher fees and more money for less work. It has to be your choice. You do have a major plus...You don't have a lot of Notaries in your area.

It's been really slow here this month so far. Only 2 signings.
I hope things are better for all of you.

If you raise your prices, you will get paid the higher fee. The less notaries there are in your area, the better for you. You can raise your fees, and it would be totally justified because, it is just you in your signing area. I think that $75.00 is terrible low and so not worth even walking out the door for unless the signing was like 2 miles form your home/office.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Dennis Sullivan on May 2, 2008 at 6:04am: I look at what the total fee is. If it is enougn given the circumstances of the loan, ie: distance traveled, size of pkg, faxback, ect. ?, then I take it, if not I pass.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Yvonne Boyd on May 2, 2008 at 10:42am: Yes, I would. I agree with the last person, times are tough but you have to stand your ground. It cost alot of money for paper and toner and two sets of docs. They really don't care is what it boils down to, and they know that they will find a notary on hard times that will do it. I always guage what I will accept by all of the factors like how far away it is, who the lender is, etc.; ▶ Reply to This
