How to Work with a TC: a guide for new agents
Hiring a transaction coordinator for the first time can feel like handing your car keys to a stranger. You've spent months building this client relationship, writing offers, negotiating with agents….and now you're supposed to hand it off to someone else?
The answer is yes. And here's why:
You are the expert at getting clients. We are the expert at getting them to closing.
Here’s how we win as a team:
Submit your file early — not the day you are done with inspection. How silly is it for me to introduce myself to your clients when you’re halfway to giving them the keys?
Introduce your TC to all parties — lender, title, co-op agent, and even your client from the start. I promise, the agents who do this look more professional — and I have less of a struggle getting people to respond to me
Set communication expectations — how you want to be updated, by text/email/calls, how often, what decisions you want to be in charge of - I mind read a little bit, but not this much!
Trust the system — your TC has a process; let it work
Stay available for agent-only decisions — contracts, negotiations, client conversations
Review everything - I am good. I am NOT a robot. Double check my work, I will double check yours! Its a team at the end of the day.
