| I have done many inspections for NCCI have not had any issues with them. Yes, their schedulers are pretty flexible and very helpful. I am actually waiting right now to hear about and inspection for next week. Last week I did a loan modification for them (they call them Trial Payment Plans) and I don't alway like those. they say that they are real quick and easier then inspections but I have found that they almost take longer. The one I did last week, the borrower did not have everything together and was not sure of a couple of things. I was there for almost half an hour, which was shorter then the first one I did for them which took over an hour. |

I reported this to my contact who merely said "she would mention that I went over and above" but did not offer additional compensation for my time. No more loan modifications for them!!
I agree... I thought that loan modifications would be a good way to supplement income but after doing a couple, more that half did not have the documents ready and I would spend about an hour with them. |

I have done many inspections for this company and it has worked out really well for me.
As mentioned earlier, they are usually very flexible about scheduling. They provide a good deal of business for me-I usually do at least one inspection per week. The inspections don't take long so its some nice extra cash for not much work.

Do they DO just "notary work"? I was under the impression they were a field inspection company and that's what they did - inspections - guess I'm curious how you sign up with an inspection company and not do inspections.

I have done a bunch of inspections for NCCI. I have not had any problems with them. They set their payments by milage although I have been able to negotiate. It is actually nice in that they schedule the time. They call and ask are you available at this time. There have been a couple where I have said that I could do it at a slightly different time and they have checked and gotten back to me, mostly yes.
There are only a few pages to print out and you need to put the information back in the system 2-4 hours after the inspection. I have not spent more then half an hour at any of the inspections that I have done for them.
All in all, I think that they are a good company to do work for and they pay within a reasonable period of time. |

Jumping in here, Linda...
"I see it as, if I'm sitting in the office twiddling my thumbs then I can run out for a half hour to snap a few pics and fill out 5-10 questions. $30 for half hours work computes to an hourly rate of $60."
That depends on your location - for me, we'd be talking an hour travel, minimum, not counting time at site and time home....max maybe two hours - less return and not worth a special trip..IMO
"They give you 'days' to complete, it's not a set in stone time. "
Not true - they told me THEY set the appointment - it's not a case of "do it when I'm in the area" and you need to report back within 2 hours of the appointment time...
Just my experience...

These are business verifications. You take a few pics to show they are truly there, pics of inventory, pics of customers. You say you work until 5. Odds are you couldn't do them. They will be scheduled during business hours.
I've done a few for other companies and have recently been approached by NCCI as well. I only do them here in the city which is a pop of about 60,000 so it's not too far to go for any of them.

Linda,
I appreciate your feedback and now I feel like it may not be worth my time. I leave for work at 7am and get home at 5pm to spend time with my daughter and I feel like that the money would've be worth it. Thanks!

Just make sure you read everything very carefully, especially the Agreement. There's a clause in there where you agree that the agreed upon fee that you've accepted will include a "rechase" if necessary (a return trip to the inspection site for whatever reason -maybe additional photos, maybe a couple more questions, maybe some info that was left out the first time) - no additional fee will be paid for that...are you willing to accept that the $20-$30 (or maybe $35-$40 depending on travel) that you've already been paid is sufficient to cover the revisit? It may be if you have more than one/trip and can knock of 3 or 4 or more in a day. And remember to take into consideration time spent traveling to and from the site, time at the site and time spent reporting in and uploading...
That $20-$30 looks a bit different when seen in that light -
Something to think about.
Whatever you do, Good Luck!!

| I received a call from the company yesterday saying they were looking for Notaries in my area to do inspections. I'm going to fill out the paperwork and figure trying it once can't hurt. I'll let everyone know after my first assignment. |

I'm with you on this, Vince. I did one to see what it was all about, and it's probably great for a lot of people but not for me. IF you had enough of these lined up in a day, and IF they were all very near each other, and IF you lock yourself into a tight process (in and out, no chatting it up with people), it could be profitable I suppose.
Alternatively, IF you're already suited-up and IF you're in the neighborhood doing something else that's more profitable, that could work too.
Too many if's for me, though. |

| Have not decided to do inspections, but what I've heard from others is that they typically pay $25 for an assignment that typically lasts 30 to 90 minutes portal to portal. Then, if they need more information, that was not included in the original packet, they may ask you to go back out as a part of the original fee. I'd sure think twice about such an arrangement and if really you're considering it would make sure that your expectations are agreed to in advance. |

I got a call 2-3 weeks ago asking me to sign up. I've been told by some others that they are a good company to work for. I have their signup packet but I'm still tossing it around as to whether or not I want to do inspections, especially considering the rural nature of my area (their fee is based on 0-15 miles - well, NOTHING is less than 15 miles from me!!)
Hope this helps.
