What I'm looking for

I’m looking to coordinate transactions end-to-end with agents and brokerages—handling inspections, closings, and compliance paperwork with meticulous detail—so deals close on time and smoothly.

I’m an outsourced transaction coordinator based in Tallahassee, delivering seamless, on-demand coordination for realtors, brokerages, and investors across Florida and throughout the United States. With four years of experience as a licensed realtor and over five years as a real estate assistant, I bring deep industry knowledge and a focus on behind-the-scenes precision.

I handle contract-to-close transactions, including assignments and notations, and I make sure nothing is overlooked. My work includes scheduling home inspections, coordinating closings, and ensuring prompt submission of compliance paperwork, while collaborating with lenders, title companies, inspectors, and attorneys to keep everything moving smoothly.
