Bologna! This is the time that you can NEGOTIATE MORE MONEY because it's a last-minute request. Take Advantage of the work. Say THANK YOU for th work. If you can do it -- great! Get more money. If you can't, still say thank you and ask them to call you again. Money in the pocket, when you have zero in the pocket is a GOOD THING.

Good advice. I have gotten calls like this and have sometimes taken the assignment. Once in awhile, it turns out good. I do get last minute calls from services that I have worked with before and have had good results. Those calls I try to handle since I have a track record with them.

This is just a quick tip. When new agencies call whom you've never heard of before that request your services within one hour, don't take the job. They're trying to catch you off guard so you won't check their background and they obviously have had a tough time finding someone for good reason.

A Onesimus Strachan is a tax preparer who contacted me claiming to be an agency from Phoenix Az yesterday. I didn't give him more than 5 seconds after he told me he had a signing in one hour. When new agencies contact me this way, I view them as pathetic that they also have a high probability of non-payment or very late payment.

Sincerely yours,


Notary's Life
