Creating a Relationship with Your Transaction Coordinator
In the real estate industry, a good relationship with your contract coordinator decides whether a transaction goes smoothly. Contract coordinators handle a lot of paperwork and update agents at each stage of the process, which makes it worth putting their needs first. A typical file we review runs 15 documents, 11 signature and initial checkpoints, and about 113 pages, and your coordinator is the person tracking every one of them. Here are some ways to establish a good working relationship with your contract coordinator:
1. Recongize the Importance of People Skills
Transaction Coordinators matter to a real estate agents success. They take car eof your client as if it’s their own and truly make your transactions run smoother. You want to make sure you maintain a good and trustworthy relationship with your Transaction Coordinator so that they continue to make you shine!
2. Frequent Communication
Regular communication with Transaction Coordinators helps make sure the process for each file stays on track, as well as let’s the coordinator know that you truly care about their help and their expertise! They can handle tons of admin and task driven tasks that are a part of every transaction! You will have great success as long as you communicate your expectations and needs!
3. Appreciate Their Efforts
Showing gratitude to your Transaction Coordinators can go a long way in strengthening the rapport you have with them, and it is a big part of why a good TC stays with you!
Ultimately, people skills are essential for excelling as a real estate agent, and the same standards of cooperation and courtesy that the NAR Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice sets for dealings with other agents are worth extending to your Transaction Coordinator.
