Real estate transaction coordinator
Description
A real estate transaction coordinator manages the paperwork and process that move a property deal from contract to closing. They track deadlines and documents, coordinate among agents, buyers, sellers, lenders, and title companies, ensure all paperwork is complete and compliant, and keep the many moving parts of a transaction on schedule so closings happen smoothly.
The role is organizational and detail-driven, the operational support behind real estate agents and deals. Transaction coordinators work for brokerages, agents, and independently.
The job suits highly organized, detail-oriented, calm people who excel at managing deadlines and paperwork, enjoy keeping complex processes on track, and want a behind-the-scenes real estate role ensuring deals close without the details falling through the cracks.
