TC's What they do vs what Agents THINK they do

Transaction coordinators are not your assistants. They’re your first line of defense against chaos and compliance disasters. In this episode of The Blueprint, Ken sits down with TC and co-host Katie Martin to clear up what TCs actually do… and what agents only think they do. In this episode, we cover:** What a transaction coordinator really is: risk management and compliance partner, not “paperwork gopher”** How Katie manages 20–60+ files at a time without losing her mind (or an email)** Why cc’ing your TC on every email is a small habit that fixes huge problems later** How top TCs use Gmail search, timelines, and calendar alerts to stay ahead of deadlines** The real relationship with escrow officers, auditors, and broker platforms like SkySlope and KW Command** What TCs will not do: write your strategy, give legal advice, or fix bad habits after the fact** Why agents should loop their TC in at the listing and buyer agreement stage, not just after going into contract** Misconceptions that drive TCs nuts: “they just file stuff” vs “they can do everything for me”** How to be a “dream client” for your TC so you close smoother and get paid on timeWho this episode is for** Agents who hate paperwork and want to stay out of audit jail** New agents who have no idea how much a TC can actually take off their plate** Team leaders and brokers trying to tighten systems and reduce risk** TCs who want language to explain their value and set better boundariesWe hope you stick around!
