Fellow Notaries Beware! I, "Super Notary", am currently constructing the ultimate tool for getting ALL the electronic jobs. And the work will be EASY for me to do. No lugging or carrying for me!
The heart of my new plan is the "Signing Mobile", a converted 40 foot RV, Motorhome, Bus - refitted as a Mobile Signing Salon! It will be the ultimate tool for processing Anything. When finished it will have: Multiple Cell Phones, High Speed Internet via Satellite, both primary and backup Dual Bin Color Laserjet printers; dedicated incoming and dedicated outgoing Fax machines and of course a copier.
To provide the ultimate in borrower experience I plan to include a wet bar, fully stocked with complimentary liquor, appropriate soft "signing mood music", choice of incandescent, florescent or LED lighting. The borrower will have access to the shower, toilet (complete with bidet) and the hot tub. Plush couches and recliners have already been fitted for waiting on the final HUD.
The large diesel generator will have plenty of power for all of the above in addition to maintaining climate control for the ultimate in borrower comfort. Automatic leveling jacks will help to avoid any possibility of the papers sliding off the expanded Mahogony signing station.
Two additional dedicated areas of the vehicle are provided to accomodate the needs of children and pets. A baby changing station, fully stocked with essentials is part of the childrens area. The pet area shall include an autochanging litter box and various dog toys.
I will be offering all of these services, plus whatever Nations Direct determines necessary for a flat fee of $35, including any necessary eDoc, cell time and fax backs. This rate shall include the first 100 miles of travel with an additional two cents per mile thereafer. The next sentence is written backwards. !!loof lirpA

Until the signing companies and TC pay more for this convenience then I will not be offering it.
When I get more calls for it, (not had one yet) then and only then will I change my company policies. Idaho has not even looked at this yet.

Well if they want all of this equipment which costs a great deal plus the wireless card needs at least a two year commitment and of course the monthly fee is about 60-75 then they need to pay extra. Think of the convenience that we provide them; no overhead for them, etc. I mean in a minute we might as well just do them for free. For me personally my competition can have them.
The reason for this arleneb is that they are trying to do what they call e closings. But they have not perfected it yet. Right now some of them want you to print all of the legals because they still need wet signatures on these and then do e signatures for the disclosures. So the bottom line is now they want you to still use ink, paper, print and lug a bunch of equipment that requires an additional monthly fee for less money. What BS.

So you are suggesting that we pay to work? I don't think so. I'm not taking a $100 job with these requirements just for the job.

They expect us to have all this equipment and extra expense but then they do not wish to pay the fees we have to set to cover and make a profit from this.

| Well, I HOPE they'd edoc the 'hard' copies before appt. so, at least you wouldn't be hauling paper, printer along with laptop or you'd need a little red wagon. They're nuts anyway. And, you're right, Bobbi, what about privacy??? We have to be background checked, but those issues go right out the window whenever they have a 'bright' idea. |

So .. In addition to the NSA PAYING for the connection time while the borrowers READ everything, or dawdle, or EACH decides s/he wants to read all the documents for him/herself, and while they "search" for missing information to be added (there's always a 'fill in the blank" owner's affidavit somewhere)
The NSA must cart around a laser printer with legal and letter size paper for those "other" documents that need to be printed ... and a portable fax for the last minute changes or immediate fax-back requirements. After all, if you are already at the borrowers home with a laptop and printer, why not require the NSA bring a fax, too, so that paper-signed documents can be faxed back IMMEDIATELY after the borrowers sign.
More technology and strain on the back than this old notary public wants to deal with, particularly in my areas where there is no cell phone coverage because the towers don't get down into the valleys or the ledge is too thick for signals to penetrate.
Of course, have any of these companies thought about the PRIVACY ISSUES with a wireless connection;i.e., all that private data in the air waves for a van outside the house to pick up from the NSA's laptop ... what liability coverage does the NSA have if the data from NSA laptop to lender is intercepted and used for identity theft and fraud? Will the lender or title company take the blame? |

I got a vague e-mail from them about this. Seems 'some' docs will be viewed on-line (at B's home on your laptop at your wireless card expense) and some paper docs (that you print--again at your expense) still need 'real' notarization. It's not just for 'changes'...
I asked what they were paying for this--never got a reply, but have heard they will pay a whopping $100. As previous poster said...$2,000 wireless contract expense vs. $100 a pop. No, thank you. |

I used to work for Nations Direct seven years ago. I found them to be very reliable and friendly. They never paid that much, but they never kept me waiting for cash either. I can only speculate why you need a lap top and a wireless card since they didn't tell you. If they need to send you a last minute revised HUD, or have you print something out, the lap top allows for that. Last minute changes, or the idea that "maybe" they might need a last minute change makes having a laptop valuable.
I have a verizon card as my backup to cable. I use it almost every day when my cable goes down. They are about half as fast as a good cable connection. They work anywhere a mobile phone works. However, the two year contact plus $59 or $79 per month ( depends on whether your cell phone is also with them ), is a lot. There are taxes on top of those fees. If you look at the cost over the life of the contract, it would be about $2000-ish. Ouch. |

Nations Direct pays. BUT nowhere near enough on these
'E' deals. All that equipment costs (or did cost--if you have it) a considerable amount of money. They've always been a 'too cheap' company. |

E-Notarizations TA DA!
P.S. be glad you didn't get the job. You probably would not be paid.
Nations Direct Sucks. |

I got a call today from Nations Direct. I got so excited when i received that call coz it was my first time to be called after 4 months i received my commission. But they were looking for a notary who has laptop and broadband wireless card. I have a laptop but i dont have the wireless card.  They never called me back so i believe they already found a notary who has one. Is there really a need for those kind of stuffs during the loan signing? I dont understand why they are requiring those.
