Yes! Since the contract is an agreement between the Buyer and the Seller and payment of the TC fee is between the Agent and the Client, do NOT write the TC fee into the contract. If it's your Seller, the fee should be written into the Listing Agreement (RLA) and if it's your Buyer, it should be on a Broker Buyer Representation Agreement (BRE).
When you complete the intake form for a new escrow, you will be asked who is paying the TC fee. If you select your client, we will send out a TC fee agreement to be signed by you and your client that includes an explanation of our services and an authorization to escrow allowing them to pay our fee to us directly at closing.

No. We've found that inspections, repair work and final walk through appointments scheduled by the agent & client directly are more efficient during the course of the transaction. We make sure to confirm that these appointments have been made and to follow up after the fact for the necessary paperwork & reports.

Our team of experienced Transaction Coordinators paired with our refined and custom procedures and systems allow us to operate a high volume of files. We don't cap our TCs based on a file count and instead make sure the TCs are paired with agents that meet specific production level criteria. That way our agents have a dedicated TC that is available to give them a consistent level of service, regardless of the market and file volume.
