Another false assumption associated with notary public work is that you can pick your hours or jobs. Well....that is not exactly true. If you want to work as a mobile notary public near to me public, you must actually do the assignments when the client needs you. This means 9:00 am, when the kids are at school OR 9:00 pm at night when you normally put the kids to bed. If there is a time when you are not available for that client and they have to call someone else, guess who they will call the next time they need a mobile notary? Your right.... the notary public that they can count on being available when they needed them.
If you want notarized document near me this house so badly that you are willing to pay top dollar your first offer will be different than if you are slightly out of your price range and would like to see if you can get the buyer down to your affordability level. Don't worry about making an offer too low. If the seller is "offended" and refuses to come down in price, you can certainly make a counter offer. Most real estate deals are only reached after a few negotiations, until both parties are satisfied. Keep in mind that a few thousand dollars will not make a huge increase in your mortgage payments, and if you're nervous about increasing your offer, check out the mortgage payment calculations again. You'll probably see that there is nothing to worry about.
Do these points speak to a sense of entitlement in the American mindset? Yes, you are entitled to a free education, no argument there. To me, it seems like some young people see that we have become the richest nation in the world and want a part of it but don't want to do the hard work to get it. I'm not talking about the high achievers, and even some of the middle achievers here either.
I mention all of this because I recently received a call from someone who needed a document notarized. She asked what I charged for travel and remarked that it was considerably less than what another mobile notary charged. I don't know the reasoning behind the other mobile notary's fee for travel, but I sense that that person is trying to make as much money from providing mobile notary service as they do for working as a notary publics near me signing agent.
Don't tell a company that your fee is $125 if they offer you $50, your still just getting your feet wet. Know your value and be happy that as a Newbie Mobile Notary your being paid $50 to gain that valuable experience that will pay off for you in the future. Now is the time to build experience and a client base.
There are many more excellent mobile notary public resources (I provide links to most of them on my website) available but they don't have rss feeds (or at least, I can't find them). If you frequent a notary website that has a feed and isn't on the list above, please let me know. I'd love to add them to the list. Also, if one of your favorite resources doesn't provide an rss feed, bug them until they do. Then let me know!
