I think Loretta this is more of a re-evaluation you need to make of your business and your pricing.  I think what happen to our pricing and the market has somewhat to do with people going into business not figuring that it costs a lot to be in business.  I do know there is a problem with none of us really raising our prices in years - because nothing else has stopped rising - and one of the big things for abstractors is that gas has almost doubled in the last year - a huge expense to conducting business for us.  I personally think it is time to raise prices and have done it a little bit myself but until the mistakes start coming out in groves and the national vendor companies and the rest find out that not everyone marketing for abstracting is qualified to do so, there is going to be a problem.  It's funny how you have these nationwide vendor companies asking you to reduce and reduce and can you do this and can you do that with no consideration of anything else.  Yet I have a local company I do title searches for and they actually tell me to price them after I'm done and let them know (commercial though) with no thought to anything I have priced - because this company is smart enough to know they don't want to give up the security and feelings of assurance to know they have someone that knows what they are doing.
