A transaction coordinator in real estate is a qualified individual or service provider responsible for overseeing and coordinating the various administrative tasks and documents involved in a real estate transaction.

Their duties include managing timelines, communicating with all parties involved (such as buyers, sellers, agents, lenders, and escrow officers), ensuring that all required forms and disclosures are completed accurately and on time, and facilitating a seamless transaction process. Transaction coordinators help minimize the potential for errors, ensure compliance with legal and contractual obligations, and free up real estate agents to focus on client relationships and sales activities.

In essence, a transaction coordinator serves as an organizational hub, ensuring that all the moving parts of a real estate transaction come together efficiently, reducing stress for both buyers and sellers and helping to facilitate a successful closing. Their role particularly valuable in complex real estate deals or for agents who handle multiple transactions simultaneously.
