Yes, we are a couple of weeks behind getting you our accountability for where our business and goals are, but don't fret!

12 Week Year is a system we have both been using for the last few years and just find it MUCH easier to stay on task, focused on the bigger picture, and make adjustments throughout the year as necessary to reach our goals without scrambling on December 1st.

Here are just 3 reasons why you should use a transaction coordinator:

1. Save Time and Boost Efficiency

A TC handles the paperwork, deadlines, and communication, allowing realtors to focus on selling more homes and growing their business.

2. Reduce Errors and Ensure Compliance

TCs are experts in managing documents and timelines, minimizing legal risks and ensuring all paperwork is accurate and on time.

3. Improve Client Experience

By managing the transaction process, a TC ensures smooth communication and timely updates, leading to happier clients and more referrals.

BONUS: Because we said so!

Seriously, this is the most stressful part of the transaction. Let's eliminate as many hiccups as possible AHEAD of time!
