THE PROGRAM

Five weeks from never having opened a file to running one with confidence.

Every week builds on the last. Every session moves you forward. By Week 5, you will have coordinated a fictional transaction from contract to close — and have a plan to start doing it for real.

BEFORE THE PROGRAM

—You've never opened a transaction file
—Real estate contracts feel like a foreign language
—You don't know who does what in a closing
—You want to work in real estate but don't know where you fit
—You have no idea what to charge or how to find clients

AFTER FIVE WEEKS

✓You can open and organize a real estate file in under an hour
✓You know exactly what to look for in a contract — and what to flag
✓You communicate with title companies, agents, and lenders professionally
✓You've worked through a real transaction problem set — and solved it
✓You have a pricing structure, client intake process, and a 30-day plan to start

THE JOURNEY

What happens each week.

Each phase builds directly on the last. You cannot skip ahead — and you won't want to.

Phase 01 · Week 1

You'll understand the job — completely — for the first time.

After this week, you will be able to:

·Explain exactly what a TC does, what they don't do, and why that distinction matters legally and professionally
·Name every party in a real estate transaction and describe their role in plain language
·Identify the professional boundaries that protect you, your client, and every deal you touch
·Describe the full lifecycle of a transaction — from signed contract to funded close — in sequence

Your deliverable: A completed transaction party reference sheet and a written scope-of-services exercise reviewed by your instructor.

The moment: Most students say Week 1 is the first time the real estate transaction actually made sense to them as a system — not just a pile of paperwork.

Next: You open your first file.

Phase 02 · Week 2

You'll read a contract and know exactly what you're looking at.

After this week, you will be able to:

·Locate the five most critical deadlines in any purchase contract and calculate their calendar dates
·Perform an administrative completeness check — the same review a professional TC runs on every file before anything else happens
·Open a transaction file from scratch: folder structure, document naming, deadline log, and first status update
·Build a contact sheet for all parties and enter a complete file in a deal tracker

Your deliverable: A fully opened practice file — folder structure created, deadlines logged, deal tracker populated, and first status update drafted.

The moment: This is the week students realize the job is learnable. The contract stops being intimidating and starts being a checklist.

Next: You communicate with the people who make the deal happen.

Phase 03 · Week 3

You'll communicate with title companies and lenders like you've done it for years.

After this week, you will be able to:

·Open a file with a title company and follow up professionally until you have everything you need
·Understand the lender's process — appraisal, underwriting, Clear to Close — and know what to track and when
·Write professional weekly status updates, missing-item requests, and follow-up emails that get responses
·Recognize a wire fraud attempt and know exactly what to do — and what never to do

Your deliverable: A complete set of drafted communications for the mock transaction: title introduction, lender follow-up, missing item request, and weekly status update.

The moment: Wire fraud awareness is the moment students feel the weight of the role — and understand why professional TC training matters.

Next: You learn to run multiple files at once — and handle the ones that don't go smoothly.

Phase 04 · Week 4

You'll know what to do when something goes wrong. It always does.

After this week, you will be able to:

·Build and manage the operational systems that keep multiple files organized simultaneously
·Identify a stuck file — missing signatures, delayed financing, unresponsive party — and escalate it correctly the same day
·Prepare a file for closing: confirm clear to close, coordinate the timeline, and document the closeout
·Handle the most common transaction problems without panicking, improvising, or stepping outside your professional boundaries

Your deliverable: A completed problem-scenario exercise: given a fictional transaction with three active issues, document the escalation path, draft the client communication, and propose the resolution step for each.

The moment: Week 4 is where it gets real. Students work through scenarios that mirror actual transaction problems — and realize they know what to do.

Next: You build the business that makes all of this sustainable.

Phase 05 · Week 5

You'll leave with a plan — and the tools to start.

After this week, you will be able to:

·Define your TC services, set your pricing, and structure your client offerings with a clear rationale behind each decision
·Set up the core systems a professional TC business needs: intake, onboarding, invoicing, file organization, and client communication
·Identify and approach your first prospective clients: agents, investors, brokerages, and teams
·Complete the final mock transaction from contract to close — applying everything from Weeks 1–4 to a single fictional file under instructor review

Your deliverable: A completed mock transaction file and a personal 30-day launch plan — your services, your pricing, your first outreach targets, and your first three steps.

The moment: The final session is the first time students see the full picture at once — and most of them are surprised by how much they can actually do.

What you'll actually have when you finish.

THE MOCK TRANSACTION

One fictional deal. Five weeks to close it.

From Week 1 through Week 5, a single fictional real estate transaction runs alongside your instruction. Each week, new developments arrive — a missing signature, a delayed lender, a title issue, a closing that needs to be coordinated.

You don't just learn how to handle these situations. You handle them — with instructor feedback — before you ever touch a real client's file.

Week 1–2 · File opened. Deadlines logged. Parties identified. First status update sent.

Week 3 · Title opened. Lender contacted. Missing document discovered. Communication drafted.

Week 4 · Financing delayed. Extension requested. Escalation documented. Problem resolved.

Week 5 · Closing coordinated. File audited. Transaction complete. Certificate earned.
