A step-by-step program for launching your career as a Real Estate Transaction Coordinator.

MEET ARIANNA DANTONE

FOUNDER & INSTRUCTOR

My name is Arianna Dantone, but you can call me Ari. I'm 27 years old, I'm a full-time real estate transaction coordinator, I have 3 cats, 1 pug, and I was born and raised in the suburbs of Houston, TX. I've worn many hats the past few years to get to the point of making this transaction coordinating course. From a hostess to a server to a bartender at a restaurant, to an online fitness coach, to a social media influencer, to a real estate agent, to a transaction coordinator - I'm well versed in customer service through a multitude of industries and experiences. I've been in the real estate industry for six years now - starting as an agent on a small real estate team and moving to their transaction coordinator, administrative assistant, and social media coordinator as they grew into the ninth-ranked team in Texas and weren't so small anymore. I worked with them for two years before having the desire to expand by launching my own transaction coordinating business which successfully closed over 600 transactions in its FIRST YEAR!
