Transaction & Settlement Coordination

Q: Does the transaction coordinator still need to be involved?

Yes, the coordinator reviews exceptions and handles any conversations that require judgment or negotiation.

Q: Will this work with the transaction management tool our agency already uses?

The automation connects to common transaction management, calendar, and email tools already in place.

Q: What happens to files that are already in progress when this starts?

Existing transaction files can be brought into the automated workflow so ongoing deadlines are still tracked.

Q: How are unusual situations like extensions or delayed inspections handled?

Exceptions are flagged for the coordinator to review and resolve manually before the automation continues.

Keep every residential transaction on track without chasing agents, solicitors, and clients by hand.

About This Automation

Coordinating a real estate transaction from contract to close involves tracking dates, chasing paperwork, and confirming status with several parties by hand. Manual tracking on spreadsheets and inboxes makes it easy to miss a contingency deadline or lose track of an outstanding document.

The automated version opens the transaction file, populates every key date, and monitors deadlines to send reminders before anything is missed. This keeps every closing on schedule and frees staff time for higher value client work.

Key features:

Opens a new transaction file automatically once a contract is fully signed

Populates inspection, appraisal, loan, and closing dates onto the shared calendar

Monitors every contingency deadline and flags dates approaching without action

Sends reminder messages to agents, buyers, and lenders for missing documents

Builds a closing checklist from outstanding items before the file moves to escrow

Notifies all parties automatically once closing details are confirmed

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Executed Contract Receivedtrigger

Signed contract arrives and lands directly in the transaction workspace, starting the coordination timeline automatically.

2. Extract Contract Data & Key Dates

The automation reads the contract, pulling the closing date, contingency deadlines, and party contacts without manual data entry.

3. Create Transaction File

A transaction file is created with all extracted details and shared with the title company automatically.

4. Add Deadlines

Inspection, appraisal, loan contingency, and closing dates are added to the shared team calendar with automatic reminders.

5. Monitor Deadlines & Chase Documents

The automation tracks every contingency deadline and sends reminder emails to, buyers, and lenders when documents are overdue.

6. Update Status

When all documents come in on time, the transaction tracker is updated automatically.

7. Coordinator Follows Up By Phone

If documents are still missing after two automated reminders, a coordinator calls the responsible party directly.

8. Send Closing Confirmation

Once the file is clear to close, a confirmation email with the final checklist goes out to all parties automatically.
