When a buyer’s offer is accepted, the clock starts ticking—and what happens next might feel like a blur of forms, emails, and deadlines. For many agents and clients, the escrow period feels like a mystery box. But behind the scenes? There’s a Transaction Coordinator making sure everything runs like clockwork.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s really happening during those 30-ish days, here’s the full scoop:


Opening Escrow


As soon as the offer is accepted, the Transaction Coordinator (TC) swings into action. We open escrow, notify all parties, and make sure everyone has the information they need to get started. That includes:

  • Sending out contact sheets
  • Confirming earnest money deposit delivery
  • Setting up timelines and calendars

Document Management


There’s a LOT of paperwork in a real estate transaction. Your TC makes sure the right documents go to the right people at the right time. This includes:

  • Reviewing the purchase agreement
  • Sending disclosures for signature
  • Tracking return dates and initials
  • Requesting reports (like HOA, NHD, or prelim)

We keep everything compliant and audit-ready—so you’re never scrambling.


Keeping Everyone on Schedule


One of the biggest jobs during escrow is managing deadlines. A TC tracks:

  • Contingency removal dates
  • Inspection periods
  • Loan and appraisal timelines
  • Close of escrow

We send reminders and updates so nothing gets missed. When an agent forgets a date, we don’t—we’ve got it covered.


Communication Hub


Think of your TC as the glue that holds the deal together. We’re in touch with:

  • Agents on both sides
  • Buyers and sellers
  • Escrow and title
  • Lenders
  • Coordinating inspections and repairs

We translate chaos into calm and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.


Solving Problems Before They Become Problems


Behind every smooth escrow is a TC who fixed five mini-crises before you even heard about them. Late signatures? Missing forms? Confused clients? We handle it—quietly and quickly—so your deals stay on track and your clients stay happy.
