Question 1

What is a Listing and Transaction Coordinator?

Accepted Answer

A listing coordinator manages the listing process to help you sell homes more quickly. A listing coordinator tends to the details that you do not want, need, or have time to tend to. We take the listing from the beginning stage of the seller deciding to list with you (signing listing documents) to the listing being complete, active, and ready to market to the public via your unique marketing plan.
 
A transaction coordinator, or TC, oversees and manages each stage of the transaction from contract to closing, while also performing the administrative duties required during each stage. A good, full service TC should be able to completely take a contract off of your hands, with the exception of any renegotiations of terms of the contract. See our Services page for a complete list of duties for the contract to close process. It's extensive!

Question 5

How Will We Help You Make More Money?

Accepted Answer

An agent typically spends between 15-20 hours of their time on the entire contract to close process.

Time that can be spent taking care of what is important to you, like:
 
-Focusing on the parts of your business that actually generate revenue
-Getting new business
-Following up with leads
-Loving on current/past clients
-Hiring/Training team members
-Spending time with family
-Traveling or going on vacation
-Giving back to your community

Question 6

What Sets Us Apart from Other Listing and Transaction Coordinators?

Accepted Answer

- We are licensed. As licensed agents, we are a second set of licensed eyes on all of your contract documents. We know when a disclosure or an addendum should have been included and was not. We know when a specific inspection should be done and the timeframe for that inspection. We know the right questions to ask the lenders and title companies to find out the actual status of your file.
- We are insured, carrying additional E&O insurance beyond that of a licensed agent.
- We communicate with your clients in a professional manner by their preferred method of
contact.
- We will prepare and send your repair requests/responses for execution during office
hours. Most TCs will not assist with repair documents at all.
- We don’t just perform administrative tasks. We stay on top of the status of your file, even
following up with the lender and title company weekly, regardless of the side of the
transaction you represent. We know the status of your file at all times.
- We review the Closing Disclosure for you prior to closing.
- We do more than copy and paste. We write public remarks for listings. We also look up
any missing information (ie: lot size, flood zone) and what we cannot find, we will ask
you for.
- We send weekly reports to you and your clients. These reports can be sent as often as you like or on specific days of the week. We will soon have agent and client portals available, where you will have the ability to login at anytime to see the status of all of your transactions at once!
