to everyone above, thanks for the input. I do appreciate it. I did include the copy costs in my pricing, as they requested, and now, it will be interesting to determine, if I have priced myself out of the work.

I understand companies trying to established fixed costs but what they don't realize is the uncertainty we face, as "copy costs" is the wildcard, a variable that could be anywhere from 2-4 pages for pertinent pages of a mortgage or from 4 to 30 pages for complete copies. How, really, can I figure the cost with those challenges without them tossing my application into the trash can.

Saving the customer money is something I like to do, whenever possible, and by allowing abstractors to add copy costs, you don't pay extra in the event of an all-inclusive price. At the same time, I HATE having to wrestle over any fees due, like I'm some sort of crook trying to take advantage of them. In the end, you just hope your service is worth their attention and loyalty. I've only had a handful of clients like this, since dismissed. Most are professional, easy to work with, and helpful.

With all the big money being made on transactions, interesting that the abstractor is the best way to cut costs, with what small percentage of the equation we are.
