Hi Amanda. New notary here. What if I feel I need more training? I feel so lost starting off.

Hello Amanda, what is your recommendation for a Notary Public course for a beginner? Thanks
@Casa_Lolita2 ай бұрын
After you completed the course, do you print out the completion to bring it to the exam or did they have to mail it to you?

Yes please!! A "Next Steps" video would be much appreciated! I'm SO happy I found your video on this before I dove in to getting certified. I'm definitely going to use EZNotary. Thank you so much for all your tips!! You've made me feel a lot better about this process

I was a signing agent full time 2020-22 then moved on once the refi rush died down. I'm just getting back into it again since July, life happens, and the volume of signing service notifications is bleak compared to what I was accustomed to 2 yrs ago in.my area, and the fees are 2/3 what they used to be. Supply & demand, there's alot more signing agents twiddling their thumbs now so the signing services aren't having to pay as much right now and there are fewer real estate transactions so what once paid $90-$100 their offering $70-$80 and getting them covered. I always counter offer a higher rate $20+ but I'm getting g alot of strikeouts. I haven't attempted to line up any direct business because I feel I'd have to be 'on call' constantly not knowing if & when whereas with signing services if I wanna take a 3 day weekend & go up north I just don't answer my phone or respond to any notifications. Pros & con's with both options imo.

You’re so right. I’m in the exact same position. Where are you located?
@clawJAMMER03174 ай бұрын
@amandapluma Mid-Michigan. I received a refi notification earlier today for $75 that used to pay $100-$110. And a HELOC for $60 that used to pay me $85-$95. I countered for $80, didn't get it. I refuse to print docs, use toner, gas, wear on my SUV, and my time 30ish miles each way , come home to scan in the docs then backtrack to FedEx again to drop them and make peanuts. I'm not doing this to break even or lose money just in the hopes a signing service makes me their 'preferred' signing agent whenever they have a signing in my area, like once a week right now🥱🙄. I'm definitely gonna have to find another side hustle because there just isn't enough volume to do this full time right now. I've done over 300 closings and it's pretty slim pickens right now doing onesee's and twosee's here and there when I used to do 2-4 a day. Now I'm beginning to wonder WtF am I doing and why am I doing it if there's no money in it anymore.

That apartment is giving off house vibe, lol. As for that unsightly box a/c, all she has to do is have someone build a cover for it. Get those hexagonal pattern screens from HD and nail them into wood frames.

It was! I was ready to move my work remotely. I still do signings but I enjoy the flexibility of working from home.

fees are set by the state. you cannot charge more than what the state says you can...
