Our Story

Hello, I'm Joe Scanlon, founder, owner, and transaction coordinator at Start to Finish Transaction Coordination Service.

Where I Started

My early career was spent as an auto technician. I moved in to material handling as a fork lift technician. Then moved into a service manager role where I was responsible for an 35-vehicle fleet and managed 35 field service technicians.

How I Got Here

In late 2012 I decided I wanted to "try" real estate so I signed up for classes. I took my test and received my license in the Spring 2013. I went full time in to real estate sales at the end of October.

I fell in love with real estate sales but over time I discovered that I really enjoyed, and my skill set fits better with the administrative side of the transactions rather than the sales side. My personality type is much more aligned with setting up systems and managing the details - the stuff most people don't like or have time for. For a short time I worked with a real estate team both selling and managing the team's transactions. I discovered two things: transaction coordination was definitely where I wanted to be, and I wanted to be my own boss. I looked into what could be done in the transaction management area.

And Here I Am

So, in January 2019 I launched Start to Finish Transaction Coordination Services an independent transaction coordination company. My first client was an agent who was looking to grow his business and his team. Over the next 3 years I continued to add agents and grow Start to Finish. I'm pleased to say that the first agent I worked with grew his business to the point where he was able to hire his own full-time transaction coordinator.
