vs. hiring a transaction coordinator
Software for the part of the job that was always arithmetic
A human transaction coordinator runs $250 to $600 per file, Quill TC charges $350 per file. Some of that work needs a person. The date math never did.
Task by task
Where each one actually earns its keep
| Task | Contract10 | A human TC |
|---|---|---|
| Reads the contract and finds every stated deadline | ||
| Computes the date math (offsets, calendar vs business days, weekend and holiday rolls) | By hand, one file at a time | |
| Shows the arithmetic behind each date so you can check it | Whatever fits in a margin note | |
| Chases signatures, lenders, escrow, and calls people | ||
| Makes a judgement call on ambiguous contract language | ||
| Works nights and weekends without being asked | Depends on the person | |
| Price | $0 to $49/mo, unlimited deals on Pro | $250 to $600 per file |
Said plainly
What a human coordinator still does that this doesn't
A transaction coordinator earns the fee on the parts of the job that are not arithmetic: getting a lender to actually respond, following up with a title company that has gone quiet, reading a seller's tone on a phone call and knowing when to push. None of that is what Contract10 does.
What Contract10 replaces is the part where a person sits down with a printed contract, a highlighter and a calendar, and works out that a 17-day inspection period starting on a Monday lands on a Thursday three weeks out, and that if it had landed on a Saturday it would roll to the following Monday. That arithmetic is deterministic. A computer should have always been doing it, and it should show its work every time, not just when someone remembers to double-check.
FAQ
Common questions
Is Contract10 trying to replace a transaction coordinator?
No. A good coordinator does things this product can't: chasing a lender for a status update, calling a listing agent who's gone quiet, and making a judgement call on language the contract doesn't spell out. Contract10 does the part of the job that's pure arithmetic, reading the stated periods and computing every deadline from them, reliably and the same way every time.
What does the $250 to $600 per file actually pay for?
Mostly time and judgement: reading the contract, building the timeline by hand, then following up with every party until closing. Quill TC, one outsourced coordination service, charges $350 per file for that work.
If I already pay a coordinator, why would I also use Contract10?
Some agents don't, and that's fine, a good coordinator already does the arithmetic correctly. Others use Contract10 as the source of truth for dates so a coordinator's time goes to the calls and follow-ups that actually need a person, not to re-deriving a deadline from a contract clause.
Does Contract10 flag ambiguous contract language?
It flags what it's not confident about. A field read with low confidence renders as Verify rather than being silently guessed, and a stated period outside a plausible range is dropped with a reason instead of quietly used. It doesn't interpret intent the way a person can.
What if I run more than one deal?
The free plan covers one active transaction. Pro is $49/mo for unlimited active transactions, iCal and CSV export and the API, still well under a single $250 to $600 coordinator fee.
