Your First Transaction with a TC: What to Expect
New to working with a Transaction Coordinator? Here’s exactly how it works.
If you’ve never worked with a Transaction Coordinator before, you might be wondering what actually happens once you say “yes.” What gets handed off? How much communication is involved? What do you still need to do?
This post walks you through exactly what to expect during your first transaction with GAREA—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Step 1: Consultation & Setup
We start with a free 30-minute consultation to learn about your process and goals. You’ll get a feel for how we work and where we can support your business.
Step 2: Sign the TC Agreement
Once you’re ready, we’ll send over our Transaction Coordination Agreement to make it official. This outlines what we do, how we work, and how we stay aligned with your expectations.
Step 3: Submit the Contract & Details
As soon as you go under contract, you’ll send us:
The signed purchase agreement
Contact info for all parties (client, co-op agent, lender, attorney/title, etc.)
Any disclosures or addenda already completed
We’ll take it from there.
Step 4: Behind-the-Scenes Management Begins
This is where the magic happens. We’ll:
Input and track all contract deadlines
Monitor contingency timelines (inspection, appraisal, financing)
Send reminders to all parties
Coordinate with lenders, title, attorneys, and co-op agents
Keep you updated without overwhelming you
Step 5: You Stay in Control—We Handle the Details
We don’t replace your relationship with your client—we enhance it. You’re still the face of the transaction, but now you have professional support making sure everything runs smoothly.
Step 6: Closing & Compliance
As we approach closing, we confirm all tasks are complete, docs are submitted to your brokerage, and everyone is clear on the final steps. You arrive at the closing table calm, organized, and ready to finish strong.
Your first transaction with GAREA isn’t just about paperwork—it’s about building a smoother, more scalable process that works with your business. From day one, we’re here to make you look good and feel supported.
