Sign and Shine Real Estate Services

Licensed Realtor® — Transaction Coordinator

Hello!

Meet Katie Weinbrenner

Hi, I'm Katie, an experienced licensed Realtor® and the proud owner of Sign and Shine Real Estate Services. I'm passionate about helping real estate agents simplify their workflow, stay compliant, and deliver outstanding service to their clients.

As your dedicated partner behind the scenes, I manage the details, deadlines, and documents so you can focus on what you do best — building relationships and growing your business. Every transaction is handled with care, precision, and clear communication from contract to close.

7 yrs
Licensed Realtor®

Before launching Sign and Shine, I spent 7 years as a licensed Realtor®, successfully managing transactions from listing to closing. I coordinated with lenders, title companies, inspectors, photographers, and stagers while ensuring every file met brokerage compliance standards. I learned that the best agents aren't successful because they do everything themselves — they're successful because they have reliable systems and trusted partners. That's the role I now provide.

My goal is simple: make every transaction feel effortless for you and exceptional for your clients!

How We Work Together

The Process

From the first document to the final handshake, here's what working together looks like — every transaction handled with kindness, respect, and professional courtesy.

  1. Service Start

    Services officially begin once I receive a fully executed purchase agreement — or a completed intake form with all client and transaction details. Nothing starts before then, so every file is set up accurately from day one.

  2. Communication Updates

    Clear, proactive updates — you'll never have to chase your TC. Choose the style that suits you:

    Option 1 — Live Transaction Tracker:a shared Google Sheet with real-time document status, deadlines, contingencies, and completed/pending items — accessible 24/7.

    Option 2 — Weekly Status Report: a clean recap (via email or text) of what's done, what's next, and what's outstanding.

    Either way, you'll get proactive pings at every milestone — escrow opened, contingencies removed, appraisal, loan approval, final walkthrough, and closing.

  3. Same-Day Response Promise

    2 hrs
    Same-business-day response

    I guarantee a same-business-day response to all emails, calls, and texts within 2 hours. Business hours Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM; weekends reserved for urgent contract-related issues.

  4. Document Access & File Management

    24/7
    Secure Google Drive access

    Every transaction gets a secure, shared Google Drive folder — executed contracts, disclosures, and documents, neatly organized and updated in real time so you're never searching for paperwork.

  5. Onboarding

    • 1.Sign the one-time TC & Agent Working Agreement — outlines our relationship for all future transactions.
    • 2.Notify me of a new transaction — a quick text, email, or call. No extra forms yet.
    • 3.I send a Transaction Intake Form and create your shared Drive folder.
    • 4.Intake review and onboarding confirmation — I'm now managing deadlines, paperwork, and compliance on your behalf.
  6. Transaction Management

    Once onboarded, I proactively manage the process behind the scenes — staying on top of deadlines and coordinating key milestones:

    Introductions & communication setup

    Escrow coordination

    Disclosure management

    Inspections & appraisal scheduling

    Title & report tracking

    Contingency & deadline tracking

    Loan & financing milestones

    Final walkthrough & closing prep

  7. Wrap-Up & Closing

    A fully organized transaction file is delivered via your shared Drive — all executed contracts, disclosures, reports, contingency forms, and closing statements, for your records and compliance.

    A final invoice for transaction-coordination services is issued on closing day, with payment due at closing.
