Built for the NC Closing Process
North Carolina real estate has distinct process requirements. NCTLC tracks all of them.
Attorney-Closing State
North Carolina closings are conducted by a closing attorney, not a title company. NCTLC coordinates directly with the attorney's office on document delivery, title order, and settlement details — following the same process documented in NCTLC's Phase 8 workflow.
Due Diligence Period
The due diligence period is one of the most time-sensitive stretches in any NC contract. The DD termination deadline is entered, verified against the executed contract, and tracked separately with its own 7/3/1 reminder cadence — consistent with how NCTLC's Phase 6 workflow runs on every file.
DD Fee & Earnest Money
Both the due diligence fee and the earnest money deposit are tracked to confirm receipt, logged with the closing attorney, and included in the pre-close audit. NCTLC flags any discrepancy between the contract terms and what is confirmed on the settlement statement.
7/3/1 Reminder System
No Deadline Slips Through
Every critical deadline on the file — due diligence, earnest money, financing, appraisal, loan commitment, and closing — gets a structured reminder cadence: alerts at 7 days out, 3 days out, 1 day out, and same-day. For shorter timelines, the cadence adjusts accordingly.
Every deadline is double-entered and verified against the executed contract before reminders are queued. Calendar invites go to the agent and all relevant parties so nothing is missed.
7 Days Out
First reminder sent; any missing items escalated to agent
3 Days Out
Second reminder; confirmation follow-up with vendors and attorney
1 Day Out
Final alert; any risk escalated directly to agent with details
Plus same-day confirmation for every deadline on the file.
Listing + TC Bundle
Listing Coordination and Transaction Coordination Under One Roof
NCTLC also handles listing coordination — from signed listing agreement through MLS launch, vendor scheduling, and seller updates. When you bundle listing and transaction coordination together, the file runs from listing prep straight through closing without a re-intake step. One continuous file, one point of contact, same checklist end-to-end.
See Listing Coordination →Pay-at-Closing Option
No Upfront Cost on Eligible Files
NCTLC offers a pay-at-closing option on eligible transaction files. The TC fee is deducted from closing proceeds through the closing attorney, and appears as a line item on the settlement statement. You provide written authorization; zero is due upfront. This option is available on Standard TC and Dual-Side TC files that are expected to close.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers. Full FAQ →
What does a transaction coordinator do?
A transaction coordinator handles the administrative side of a real estate transaction — deadline tracking, document collection and verification, vendor coordination, closing-attorney communication, and pre-close audit. NCTLC manages the transaction file from accepted offer to closing so agents can stay focused on client relationships and new business. NCTLC does not provide legal advice, negotiate, or make pricing decisions — those stay with the agent and broker.
Do I still control pricing, negotiation, and client advice?
Yes. NCTLC handles administration only. Pricing, negotiation, legal interpretation, and seller strategy remain entirely with the agent and broker. NCTLC does not advise clients, interpret contracts, or make recommendations on deal terms. If any question touches legal, pricing, or negotiation territory, it is escalated to you immediately.
What does it cost?
Standard TC (buyer or seller side) is $449 per file. Dual-side coordination is $675. A Listing + TC Bundle runs from $699 total. A pay-at-closing option is available on eligible files. See all tiers at the packages & pricing page.
How fast is intake?
Standard intake is same-day. Submit the executed contract and party contacts and NCTLC will have the file built, deadlines entered, and the coordination checklist ready before the next business morning. Rush setup (under 24 hours) is available for an additional $100 if a file is especially time-sensitive.
Ready to hand off the paperwork?
