Refining the Real Estate Process from Contract to Close
There can be a communication gap between the various parties in a real estate transaction - as a transaction coordinator, it is our job is to close that gap so you can spend more time where it counts - with your clients!
What is a Transaction Coordinator?
Could you benefit from hiring one?
A transaction coordinator (TC for short) oversees all aspect of the real estate transaction from pre-listing to post-closing.
As a real estate sales agent, you'll spend anywhere from 15-19 hours per file doing administrative work. Hiring a TC allows you to spend those hours showing properties, wining listings, negotiating for your buyers, and marketing your expertise.
​
A TC will manage your paperwork, deadlines, administrative duties, and various other duties to allow you to leverage your business.
