Transferring Transactions
Transferring a transaction means passing transaction ownership. Only a transaction owner can transfer a transaction.
Ownership is created either by creating the transaction or by being the recipient of a transaction transfer.

Either a Transaction Coordinator or a Full Access Agent can be a recipient. The only requirement is that the recipient must
have access to the same branch as the transaction owner.

Completing a Transfer
1. In the Property Center page, select the check box of the transaction you want to transfer and click Transfer. Multiple
transactions can be transferred to another Transaction Coordinator at the same time by selecting additional check boxes.
Multiple transactions cannot be transferred to a Full Access Agent.

Note: A transaction with an asterisk means that you have access but not ownership of that transaction; you will not be
able to transfer that transaction.

2. In the To list, select the individual that will receive the transaction.

In this example, the first selection is a Full Access Agent, as noted by the asterisks. The second selection is a
Transaction Coordinator.

Note: The list will display coordinators and agents who have access to the same branch as the transaction owner and
the primary and any co-agents for the transaction.

TransactionPoint 36 Transaction Coordinator’s Guide
