Why Smart Real Estate Agents Are Hiring Virtual Transaction Coordinators (and You Should Too)
Let’s be honest — you didn’t become a real estate agent to spend your nights buried in compliance checklists, chasing down signatures, or scheduling smoke inspections. You got into real estate to help clients buy and sell homes, close deals, and grow your business.
But if paperwork, contracts, and deadlines are eating up your day, it might be time to make a smart move: hire a Virtual Transaction Coordinator (TC).
What Is a Transaction Coordinator in Real Estate?
A transaction coordinator is your behind-the-scenes superhero. They manage the entire contract-to-close process so you can focus on selling. From preparing offer documents to coordinating inspections and making sure every compliance box is checked — they handle the details, so nothing slips through the cracks.
More specifically, a remote transaction coordinator ensures that every file is audit-ready, timelines are met, and your clients stay updated every step of the way.
And no, this isn’t just admin work. This is transaction coordination — a critical piece of your real estate business that can make or break your reputation.
The Case for Going Virtual
The real estate world is changing fast. Smart agents are now choosing online transaction coordinators who can do the job just as well ( if not better) than someone in-house.
At ExpertVA, we specialize in pairing real estate professionals with virtual transaction coordinators who are already trained and experienced in state-specific transaction processes. Whether you're in California, Texas, Florida, or Massachusetts (yes, even smoke certification is covered), we’ve got vetted professionals who understand the legal and procedural landscape of your state.
No cookie-cutter VAs. No need to explain what a DA is. You’re choosing from professionals who’ve already handled deals in your local market.
What Does a Virtual Real Estate Transaction Coordinator Actually Do?
While the exact list of transaction coordinator job duties may vary by brokerage or market, here's a preview of what your TC can take off your plate:
Drafting and reviewing offer documents
Managing transaction timelines from execution to close
Coordinating with title, escrow, lenders, and inspectors
Sending weekly updates to clients, agents, and brokers
Submitting paperwork for compliance (including tricky state requirements)
Preparing the commission disbursement and closing statements
Final walkthroughs, smoke inspections, and even post-closing follow-ups
If you've ever wondered "what does a transaction coordinator do for real estate?" — the short answer is: everything that keeps your deals smooth and your clients happy.

Take control of your schedule
