How much does a transaction coordinator cost? And who pays.
Plain answers. The full list, by topic, is on the FAQ page. What a coordinator actually does is in the explainer.
How much does a transaction coordinator charge per file?
Here, one flat fee by deal type: $595 for a cash file, $695 for a lease option, $1,095 for subject-to or seller finance, $1,195 for a novation, $1,295 for a wrap and $1,395 for a hybrid. Add-ons are $250 for servicing setup, $150 for insurance coordination and $250 for rush. No hourly rate, no percentage of the price.
Who pays the transaction coordinator fee?
The client who opens the file: usually the investor or buyer, sometimes the wholesaler on a novation, sometimes the agent with a creative offer on the table. $250 is paid to open the file and the balance at closing. Whether the balance can be shown on the settlement statement and paid from closing funds is a question for your title company; tell Kristen what they say.
What does the $250 cover?
It opens the file. Kristen builds the checklist, sets the deadline calendar and starts collecting documents. The $250 counts toward your total, so a $1,095 subject-to file is $250 today and $845 at closing.
When is the balance due?
At closing. The rest of the flat fee, plus any add-ons, is due when the file closes. There is no monthly plan and no retainer.
Is the price the same in every state?
Yes. The price is set by the deal type, not by the state or the property's value. Kristen works nationwide and remote; your title company or closing attorney handles the closing where the property is.
Do I need the add-ons?
Only if the file does. Servicing setup is for files where payments continue after closing. Insurance coordination is for files where the policy has to change hands. Rush is for a closing in under 10 days. Leave off what you do not need.
What counts as a rush?
A closing in under 10 days from the day the file opens. The rush add-on is $250 on top of the deal-type price.
