TC Myths, Debunked
What a transaction coordinator really does, and the five myths that keep agents from using one.
What a Transaction Coordinator Actually Does
Deadlines, disclosures, compliance, and every party in the deal, managed from contract to close.
“Transaction coordinators are unnecessary”
Doing it all yourself works until one deadline slips while you're showing homes and negotiating offers.
“TCs just push paper”
Paperwork is about 20% of the job. The other 80% is coordination you never see.
“TCs are too expensive”
Twenty deals a year at 15 hours each is 300 hours. Here's what a TC really costs, and what it buys you.
What a blown deal really costs
One missed contingency can cost a commission. Compared to that, a TC fee is cheap insurance.
“TCs will replace agents”
The agent is the pilot; the TC is air traffic control. A TC makes you scalable, not replaceable.
“Anyone can be a TC”
Purchase agreements, title, lender requirements, and disclosure rules. Experience matters.
Why top agents use a TC
Transaction coordinators exist for one reason: more closed deals with less stress.
