MITCHELL ADDING VALUE TO EACH TRANSACTION AND INTERACTION Position/Title: Transaction Coordinator Company: Elite Closing Solutions, LLC How long have you been working with the person who nominated you? Two years How long have you been working in the real estate industry? Two years What did you do before you began working in your current position?
I was a sales associate/regional leader for an insurance/financial company. What does your typical workday look like?
Every day â Monday to Friday â I check in on each existing file or new file that is under contract or a new listing. I typically handle between 20 to 40 files at a time. Once I have established where we are on each contract, I follow up with lenders, title contacts, real estate agents, and buyers and sellers to obtain the necessary information to fulfill items on our checklist/timeline. These checklist items include scheduling inspections; ordering appraisals and reporting due dates; sharing timeline dates and information with all parties; uploading and assisting in drafting addendums/ amendments; ensuring all parties have the executed addendums/amendments; ordering home warranties; receiving settlement statements; obtaining information or documents to clear titles; sending closing details to all parties; and sending closing preparation emails to buyers/sellers. Overall, my role is to make sure all parties are on the same page and receive the most updated information so that we stay on track to close on time.
Why do you think you excel at your job?
Iâve always been a service-minded person. I enjoy helping others: It gives me all the good feels when I know my efforts made someone elseâs life just a little bit easier. As a transaction coordinator, I get to do just that! Iâve always been fascinated by the real estate industry and enjoy working with the agents. Iâve worked in sales for most of my adult life, so I understand the importance of working in the field, gathering leads, prospecting, negotiating, closing the sale, etc. My role as a transaction coordinator increases my clientsâ sales because they can focus on more income-producing activities while I take care of the rest. Itâs a win-win! What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?
