I am a Notary with about 30 Years experience with Loan Closings. Fees have several factors involved in them. Normally the base fee starts around $150. The further out the signing, the fee will raise. I may be available for a signing, but talk to me verbally about the fee before I officially accept. When I respond to a text message, I am saying I am available for the signing, it does not mean for the amount you are stating in the text. We have to discuss the fee,.
