If I Had to Explain What a Transaction Coordinator Does… to a Kid! 🧸🏡

Success Strategies

“What do you do for work?”

If you’ve ever been asked this by a kid — or maybe even an adult who still doesn’t understand what a Transaction Coordinator (TC) does — you know how tricky it can be to explain. So, let me break it down the fun way (and I promise, this will make sense whether you’re 5 or 55!).

The Kid-Friendly Version:

Kid: “What do you do for work?”
Me: “I help people when they’re buying or selling a house — I make sure all the grown-ups do what they’re supposed to do!” 😆
Kid: “Like a teacher?”
Me: “Sort of! I remind people what to do, help them stay on time, and make sure nothing gets lost — like homework, but for houses!” ✏️📑

Pretty accurate, right? Because let’s be honest, buying and selling real estate comes with a lot of moving parts — and a Transaction Coordinator makes sure none of those parts fall through the cracks.

So, What Does a Transaction Coordinator Really Do?

If you’re a real estate agent in Texas, chances are, you’ve probably heard about Transaction Coordinators — maybe you’ve even thought about hiring one (or desperately wished for one when drowning in paperwork).

Let’s break it down:

Imagine buying or selling a house is like planning a huge party…

  • I make sure everyone gets their invitation — aka, contracts and documents.
  • I remind them when to show up — meaning all those critical deadlines like option periods, inspections, appraisals, and closing.
  • And I make sure they bring everything they need — all the signatures, disclosures, and forms needed to get to the closing table without a hitch!

Why Do Real Estate Agents Work with a Transaction Coordinator?

If you’re a busy agent juggling multiple deals, you know exactly how overwhelming it can be to keep track of:
✅ Deadlines
✅ Paperwork
✅ Signatures
✅ Inspections
✅ Title updates
✅ Lender communications
✅ And client hand-holding through the process

And guess what? That’s where a Transaction Coordinator steps in — to take all that stress off your plate so you can focus on selling homes and taking care of your clients.
