TRANSACTION COORDINATION

When we take a new listing or help a buyer get into escrow, the Transaction Department at Red Oak Realty helps to coordinate the transaction from the initial listing agreement or contract acceptance to close of escrow. The Transaction Department works with us to assure that all documentation is received and all deadlines are met in accordance with the California Department of Real Estate. A representative from the department will contact you as soon as we get into escrow to introduce herself and give you her contact details. Throughout escrow this same person will contact you directly to inform you of any outstanding documentation that is needed as well as ensure that the other side is performing as necessary. At the end of the transaction, you will receive a complete copy of the file on a CD. The Transaction Department is an important step in providing you with a smooth experience.
