I've revamped my pricing structure a bit to make things easier for my clients to understand. In the past I was charging a flat mobile fee, plus the appropriate notarization fees. I try to answer as many questions up front about what a job will cost, but sometimes my clients aren't sure of what they need. For example, a document package with "five signatures" sometimes ends up having only one requiring notarization. So it's often difficult for me to quote an exact price for my services.In practice, I was giving multiple signature discounts and waiving mobile fees entirely for mortgage and trust packages. And, of course my regular clients enjoyed discounts too! That won't change—I appreciate my repeat customers.
So here's what I've decided to do. My new pricing structure features a flat $25 mobile fee for the areas I cover, and this fee now includes one signature. Additional signatures are $10 each, and these are typically accompanied by an acknowledgment or jurat form. All other California notarization fees are set by the Secretary of state. Thus, if your document requires one notarized signature, the fee will be $25. If your document requires two signatures, the fee will be $35. Much simpler, I think.
I work all over Los Angeles, but these are the areas where I advertise: Altadena, Arcadia, Atwater Village, Burbank, Downtown Los Angeles, Eagle Rock, Glendale, Griffith Park, Highland Park, La Canada-Flintridge, La Crescenta, Los Angeles, Los Feliz, Monrovia, Montrose, Mt. Washington, Pasadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre, South Pasadena, Sunland.
Even if you don't live in one of these areas, give me a call and I'll work something out or refer you to a notary closer to where you live.
And of course, I never charge a mobile fee for clients who meet me for coffee at Swork or Starbucks in Eagle Rock.
