About

The transaction expert

Hi, I’m Jodi Shannahan. I have been in the real estate industry for the past 17 years. I got my start flipping homes and within two years of commencing on that journey, I obtained my real estate license and started helping buyers and sellers fulfill their real estate dreams. I spent many years as part of a very successful real estate team that specialized in traditional real estate, and was very active in the foreclosure/bank owned market, as well. As I embarked upon motherhood, I took a step back from my full-time selling commitments and took on the position of Transaction Coordinator for my team and found that not only did I excel in that position, but I also truly enjoyed handling everything from contract to close. Now it has become my passion. My vast experience in the real estate world and my utmost attention to detail and meeting deadlines is how I became “The Transaction Expert.”

My Motto: you can never offend anyone by being too professional. 

Happy Clients!

In just three words, I can sum up my business relationship with Jodi, The Transaction Expert: “PEACE OF MIND.” It is so refreshing to hand over the transaction side of the process to Jodi; knowing my clients are in the best, capable hands.

Jodi is a lifesaver! Her work enables me to be able to focus on selling more houses. I know that once something is under contract, I don’t have to worry about anything else. Transactions run smoothly and Jodi gets it closed!

HOW VALUABLE IS YOUR TIME?

Market research shows that an average Indiana Realtor® will spend nearly 20 hours a month performing their own Transaction Management work. I challenge you to ask yourself a simple question; “How much freedom would an extra 20 hours give you?” Time is a precious commodity and as your personal Transaction Coordinator, your business will be my top priority. I will be fully committed to getting your deals successfully closed. After all, I do not get paid if you do not get paid!

Frequently Asked Questions

A Transaction Coordinator (TC) manages all details involved in closing a real estate transaction and monitors the entire process through agents, clients, mortgage professionals, title companies and more.

This is completely up to you. However, it is most efficient if I may communicate directly with your client(s). I keep you informed of all communications and CC you on emails with important correspondence.

My #1 goal is to make the contract-to-close process as smooth as possible for you so that you get your life back to do what brings you joy. I follow up closely with all parties involved in the transaction making every effort to make sure your deal closes successfully.

You only need to send the following: Purchase Agreement, Lender Letter, Seller’s Disclosures, Tax Records, MLS sheet, Title Company information and Buyer and/or Seller contact information. I’ll introduce myself to all parties involved and will take care of everything from there! 

I do not share your information with anyone and your files are very secure. I have strict guidelines and unless you grant me permission to share any information, it will be kept confidential. I am YOUR confidant and no one else’s.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. This means that I am at my desk and computer during those hours with the occasional break for lunch. However, as a former Realtor® of many years who understands the unpredictability of the business, I can be reached via text outside of those hours.

I am only paid when you successfully close your transaction. I will email you an invoice that will give you a safe and secure option to pay online.

I only get paid if the transaction closes. If your deal falls through, there are no fees from The Transaction Expert to you.
