As mentioned in an earlier post, I have done several closings for Jake over the past two or three years. He’s a pleasure to work with. Always pleasant and professional. No hand holding, no threatening fee reductions included in loan signing instructions. He understands and appreciates what professional signing agents bring to the table. Pay is fair and timely. Docs are neat and easy to close. I am happy that I gave him a chance, it seems to be a productive relationship for both of us. I have asked for Jake’s support in other areas, and he has always come through. I personally wish there were more agents like Jake in our business. He keeps you informed of any changes, and does so in a timely manner. He provides excellent support to hired signing agents, and you don’t have to worry about him trying to nickel and dime you to death. If changes require additional work on your part, you are properly compensated.
It has been my experience while working with Jake at My Closing Network, that you can expect to be treated with respect, while receiving fair and timely compensation for your services.
Thank you.
Phyllis

However, I do use 123Notary for out of state jurisdictions and would love to work with you should the opportunity arise.
Regarding a website: With the new implementation of the Signing Professionals Workgroup and NNA recommendations, we no longer use our website to transmit docs to notaries, and in turn do not operate the website as of this year. It was used as a log-in only service to our veteran NSA's to download secure docs. And in 2012 was down briefly for the start of that initial transition. All emails to that domain are employed and active.
I will follow my own advice mentioned earlier and request that future NSA's post to this thread, as I do on their profile.
Thank you again.
P.S. I recognize your handle from other threads and appreciate your active posts. =)

Greetings Michael.
I'm alive and well, and hope your business is thriving. In the same two years, there are no postings of non-payment; nor has there ever been, or ever will be. As a refresher, my company is regional and very few orders are out of state. Of the 1,400 orders outsourced to NSA's such as yourself, all payments have been issued and cleared. Six of those were in NC and two in your immediate area. In addition, two of the notaries in this thread have received subsequent orders, also with payments cleared and issued timely.
You accepted an order and then later cancelled. As a fellow NSA with over 10k closings(and that's conservative exempting my Loan Officer and Escrow Officer years), that is a major frown in this industry. Two of my largest accounts as an individual NSA came from signing companies with no posted information. As I mentioned before, you have to take risk just as a signing company is on you. As of date, you have no feedback on your profile nor have your loan closing experience itemized as your local peers do. That would be a flag and a risk taker for a SC wanting to use you. I say this with encouragement....you should update your profile and mention that you prefer to work with certain types of companies and elaborate on your experience. For those companies you performed services and were not paid, I would definitely take the time to post of your efforts and remedies so that NSA's can truly see the value of these blogs and work with tangible material. Fortunately I have been paid on all individual NSA orders I perform and only once have had to threaten civil action (but I got paid!).
I wish you well and hope this clarifies your concern.

Fellow SAs,
I failed to reply to "Jake" 2 years ago because I thought it was a waste of time. When I questioned his "company," he hung up on me. It was also apparent that he had lied to me about the website maintenance.
In his post he accused me of slander, yet he never stated what part of my post was slanderous.
I don't see any sign of him now, or the parked domain he called his company website. Did everyone get paid?
This forum has kept me from getting ripped off numerous times, so I am glad that I could return the favor.

I had been fooled by a company claiming to be bail bonds company once.
I cannot speak for anyone else, but I assure you that my post is genuine. I have no reason to falsify my experience with My Closing Network or any other signing service I do business with. I have relied on posts from fellow notaries to help make decisions on what assignments to take and not take. I am just paying it forward, and sharing my experience with this signing service.
Like you, I too do not like working for free. Fortunately, I was offered a fair fee ($xxx) for both signings I did for Jake, and have received payment for both of these signings in a timely manner.
In the end, everyone must make their own decision as to who to work for or not work for. Thankfully these notary forums can help us make informed decisions. Personally, I will take all the work Jake can send my way  .

Jake (My Closing Network) called me on September 24th to do a closing. Even though he agreed to my fee I was skeptical about accepting the assignment, but I did. He immediately sent an email confirmation with the borrower's info, signing fee, his company and contact info.
I did a quick search online and couldn't find any info on Jake or his company, so I decided to decline the assignment. I sent him an email declining the assignment. Jake called me after receiving my email, wanting to know why I was cancelling. I explained my hesitation to work for someone who didn't have any information available for review. He then explained his role, and provided a summary of his company's operation. At the end of our conversation, I agreed to do the signing.
Well, as often happens, this particular assignment had a few challenges. Jake was responsive to all phone calls and emails. The actual signing required more work than was initially stated, so I requested a fee increase which was immediately approved.
As mentioned, I did the closing on September 24th, and I received my check yesterday.
I look forward to getting more assignments from Jake, he's easy to work with, no hand holding, available to assist with problems, and pays well.
By the way, I did another signing for Jake yesterday, again he met my fee.

Michael A. Gelman,
I am the individual you spoke with, and wanted to follow up on your post. As mentioned on the phone to you, our business is primarily in Texas with a few orders on the east coast from time to time. Upon reviewing your profile on this great site, it suggested you were seasoned and "in customer service since 1990". You accepted the order on 7/11/2012. Shortly afterwards, you did phone back and began an interrogatory tone and conversation. What was stated for your assurance is that our website is down and moved to a different provider, to enhance our login use for our priority notaries, and, to have additional security measures. Granted, that was probably too detailed of an explanation. You clearly did not want the order and spent more time challenging than expressing a remedy to your concern. To this date, I have had two orders in your area and paid higher fees for the job to be handled with utmost professionalism.
I strongly recommend you update your profile and mention the types of limited clients you are seeking and the exceptions to your service, rather than make slanderous and inaccurate statements in a post. Afterall, this industry is customer service oriented and gauged on relationships, of which you randomly have to go out on a limb. Mutually, that's what signing companies do as well seeking your services. Otherwise, you can continue to work with high volume, robot dialing national companies (I'm sure you and I share the same vision on that topic).
Regards,
Jake

A man called me today and requested a closing. When I tried to find his company online, I found absolutely nothing. When I visited his webpage, myclosingnetwork.com, I found a picture of a shirt in a closet with the words "future home of something very cool."
I called him back and tried to question him about his "company." He told me that his website is undergoing maintenance and it had to do with secured documents. When I told him that it looks like someone is only thinking about making a website, he hung up on me.
Do what you want. I just want you to know what my experience was, just a few minutes ago. Personally, I don't like to work for free.
