I take Transaction Coordination very seriously!

I take Transaction Coordination very seriously!

Whether you are full time, part time, some time agent, your time is valuable. In an ever changing real estate market, leveraging your time effectively is not something you should do, but what you must do if you want to succeed.

Enter Christine Matus PA Real Estate Solutions: I am ready to handle your transaction coordinator needs; saving time & money.

It couldn't be easier. Let me chase the paper and make the calls so you can focus on your clients; while you go out and list & sell!

Remember, no matter how many deals you close a month; if you are spending time focusing on activities that don't have the potential to produce a sale, then you are losing time and money needlessly.

For example, you can spend 20+ hours on pending transactions scheduling appointments, chasing down signatures, copying, faxing, emailing' etc..

Or you can outsource your file management for that transaction & use that 20+ hours to prospect for more business and give your clients additional time. Which is going to give you a better opportunity to make a sale?

My mission at Christine Matus PA Real Estate Solutions is clear: To deliver the highest level of customer service while assisting agents and their clients to a successful closing. I am committed to working with you on all of your transaction coordination needs to provide the solutions you need at a reasonable price. And most importantly, I partner with you to improve your efficiency and productivity, which ultimately increases your bottom line.

"Time is of the Essence" when buying or selling a home in Palm Beach

You may have noticed the phrase "time is of the essence"
... But what does that mean?


It means that deadlines MUST be met ... Or ELSE! 
... Or else what?

That depends upon the contract clause. If your agreement says you must complete an inspection by a set date and you don't do it, it means you've accepted the house As-Is. 

If the agreement says you must let the seller know about items of concern within a set number of days after an inspection, it means that you have only that many days to back out of the contract or re-negotiate based on the inspection.

The same is true for other contingencies. They must be removed by the specified date or the contingency evaporates.

This can be important to a buyer because depending upon the contingency, it can mean loss of earnest money.

If you present an offer to a seller (or a counter-offer to a buyer) and give him or her 3 days to respond, it means non-response in that time releases you from the offer.

Even the closing date has an "or else." If the buyer doesn't close on the specified date, the seller is no longer obligated to complete the transaction.

If a loan commitment contingency and it has a due date, Seller can be released from the contract. This is important to know!

Of course, when both parties agree, these dates can be changed. But be aware that the other party is never obligated to grant an extension of time.

What is a Transaction Coordinator?

What is a Transaction Coordinator?

Great question! The term “transaction coordinator” has been loosely used within the real estate industry back when I was a Realtor in NY in the 1990′s. It was the “catch all” phrase for anyone responsible for handling the paperwork at title companies, real estate companies, and even lenders. You may have also heard of them called Closing Coordinators, Transaction Managers, or transaction Administrators. In this market, due to the increased requirements of real estate law, the need for an efficient, reliable and experienced Transaction Coordinator has also increased. Generally, Transaction Coordinators provide administrative support specifically to real estate agents and brokerages. They aid in the coordination of all related parties and their paperwork making sure that broker and state requirement are met. 

I, Christine Matus provide Real Estate Solutions! I believe that successful real estate agents and brokers deserve an efficient, reliable, and experienced licensed Transaction Coordinator. I become an extension of you and your businesses. Successful Keller Williams agents and brokers in Palm Beach FL. already understand they cannot do it all, and should NOT do it all. In fact, they understand that they are more effective professionals focusing on listing, selling & meeting people…


I maximize time management for my clients, ease the minds of buyers and sellers, and increase efficiency for all parties involved. Each transaction is unique. With over 17 years of Realtor and real estate administrative experience, I provide individual attention to each transaction by closely working with the agents, title companies, attorneys and lenders.
