One of the greatest advantages of hiring an independent Transaction Coordinator (TC) is eliminating the financial burden of employing a permanent staff member, especially during slower months and seasons (we see you, November through January!). With Real Simple Transactions, there’s zero overhead—no payroll, no benefits, and no long-term commitment. You only pay for services if your transaction closes and you get paid.
Beyond cost savings, you gain the confidence of working with a fully trained and experienced professional. The owner, who also serves as the Transaction Manager, is a licensed real estate agent. Although her license is inactive (so she doesn’t buy or sell), she brings extensive industry expertise to every transaction.
