Make $100,000 a Year as a Loan Signer!
This claim made the loan signing industry boom a few years back. People were eager to jump on this "get-rich-quick" program by setting your own hours and only working a few hours a day. People quickly realized how difficult it is to gross $100k as a loan signer, let alone net that amount. Assuming you work 5 days a week and take a 2 week vacation and make an average of $100.00 per loan signing, you would need to have 2.667 loan signing assignments PER DAY to GROSS $100k per year. If you factor in printing costs, gas, wear and tear on your car, your NET gets down closer to $50,000. It is still a respectable amount of money, but most notaries are lucky to get 3 assignments per week, let alone one day.
This is not meant to discourage you, only to show you how it is neither easy nor automatic. Real Estate agents can make $1,000,000 a year, but they probably do not do so in the first year! Any business takes time. Have patience, build your business steadily and you will be able to have steady work. Eventually, you may make more than $100k or realize it is just too much work and move on to the next late night get-rich-quick scheme.

You are so right, Andy. The business stalled out in mid 2007 with the demise of so many lenders and the flooded LIAR LOANs began to default. Lenders began tightening their loan parameters, and fewer loans were being made. It worsened in 2008 with 25% more foreclosures than in 2007. We still have an avalanche of foreclosures about to record, with high unemployment causing people who don't have bad loans to go into default due to loss of income. But the housing market in 2009 promises to turn around with the lowering of interest rates and the government issuing mandates to lenders to help borrowers stay in their homes by modifying their current loans. I'm one of those notaries who made six figures for several years, I worked my butt off and sacrificed a lot of holidays with my family...this year will be different, I'm taking the last week of the year off to regenerate and re-engineer my business model. Happy Holidays to everyone!
