I keep telling everyone in the best of circumstances there is no way that you can receive an order, drive to the courthouse, process the order, invoice the order and scan and/or fax the order for less than 1/2 hour per order.  No one is putting the entire process it takes to into the fee schedule - and mortgage/assignment reports are not always easy to produce much less the documents which I have had up to six assignments on one mortgage.  I think we should have a mort report fee, a mort/assign report fee, and if they want copies along with the report an additional fee to cover costs of getting the orders to them, either in the scanning/faxing time and expense or shipment expense plus for us holding their costs for 30 days.  Now this is not to say that you never make a deal with your clients.  I make deals but it usually isnt when they have one large job - I give a little when one large job - but mostly it's usually when I can depend on a large amount of orders each week.  I'm not in it for just making what I would at a job - if I wanted that I would take the paycheck every week and the benefits and not have all the additional headaches of running a business - what do you want?  Do you all want to be the bottom of the totem pole and let everyone walk on you and tell you what fee they will pay you no matter what it is costing you to produce the product?  We really need to focus on a group effort here.
