How Much Does a Transaction Coordinator Cost in Nashville?
By Tyler Forte · Updated October 2026
Short answer
Most Nashville transaction coordinators charge $400 to $500 per file. What you get for that price, and whether you pay when a deal dies, varies a lot.
Nashville TC prices at a glance
| Type of TC | Price per file |
|---|---|
| Independent TC | $400 to $450 |
| TC company | $495+ |
An independent TC is usually one person working on their own. A TC company has a team behind each file, so a sick day or a vacation doesn’t stall your deal.
What changes the price
- What happens if the deal dies. Some TCs charge a fee either way. Others charge nothing unless you close.
- Which side you’re on. Listing setup and offer writing often cost extra.
- Nights and weekends. Most TCs work business hours. Coverage after 5 p.m. usually costs more.
- What comes with it. A client portal, e-sign and calendar invites can be included or billed separately.

Per file or monthly?
Most Nashville TCs charge per file, so you only pay when you have a deal. A few charge a monthly fee for a set number of files. Per file makes sense for most solo agents. A monthly plan can make sense for a team with steady volume.
Questions to ask before you hire a TC
Price matters. But when a deal goes sideways, the cheapest TC stops looking like a deal. Ask these before you hire anyone:
- Do I pay if the deal falls through?
- Will I have one TC, or whoever is free that day?
- Do you start files on weekends?
- Will you talk to my clients, and how often?
- Who covers my files when my TC is out?
