Tip of the Week:
Know the New Rental Income Guidelines
There has been a major mortgage guideline update that may impact buyers who are converting their current primary residence into an investment property.
Fannie Mae has updated its requirements, and borrowers may no longer need to have a tenant secured before closing, a signed 12-month lease agreement, first month’s rent collected, a security deposit received, or all documentation completed before purchasing their next home.
Instead, market rent may be determined using sources like Zillow, Redfin, MLS, and similar rental data tools.
This matters because the update may create more flexibility for borrowers who want to purchase their next home while keeping their current property as an investment. It may also help more buyers qualify, increase purchasing power for certain borrowers, and give previously declined opportunities another look.
Lenders must implement the updated rental income requirements in November 2026, so this is an important change for agents to be aware of when advising clients who are considering keeping their current home as a rental.
Key Takeaway:
This update could open the door for more move-up buyers, especially those who want to keep their current home instead of selling it.

What Does a Transaction Coordinator Actually Do?
A Transaction Coordinator helps manage the behind-the-scenes details that keep a real estate transaction moving from contract to close.
Many agents know that a TC helps with paperwork, but the role often goes much deeper than that. A strong Transaction Coordinator helps track deadlines, organize documents, support compliance, communicate with key parties, and keep the file moving forward.
That can include coordinating with title, lenders, clients, co-op agents, inspectors, appraisers, and brokerage compliance teams. The goal is to make sure the transaction stays organized and that important details do not fall through the cracks.
This blog breaks down what a Transaction Coordinator does, why the role matters, and how the right support can help agents save time, reduce stress, and deliver a smoother client experience.
For busy agents, TC support is not just about admin help. It is about having a reliable system behind every file so you can spend more time on the work only you can do: advising clients, negotiating, prospecting, and building relationships.
Transaction Coordination Service:
Stay Ahead of the Details This Fall
Fall files can move quickly, and every transaction comes with deadlines, documents, and communication that need to stay organized.
Once a contract is signed, there are multiple moving pieces that need attention. Deadlines must be tracked. Documents must be collected and reviewed. Clients need updates. Lenders and title companies need information. Brokerage requirements need to be met. Closing details need to be confirmed.
That is where ProFileTM’s Transaction Coordination Services can help.

Offer Writing Service:
Clean Offers Without the Last-Minute Scramble
When your buyer is ready to write, timing matters.
A strong offer process needs to be fast, accurate, and organized. When agents are juggling showings, client calls, negotiations, and deadlines, offer paperwork can quickly become stressful.

Support That Helps You Stay on Schedule
A successful listing launch takes more than putting a home in the MLS.
Before a listing goes live, there are documents to collect, details to confirm, photos to schedule, signs to coordinate, listing information to prepare, compliance items to review, and seller communication to manage.
ProFileTM’s Seller-Side Listing Services help agents stay organized before, during, and after a listing launch.
Our team can help support the many pieces that go into a smoother seller-side experience, including listing paperwork, document review, MLS preparation, communication, title coordination, and deadline tracking.
Listing coordination is about more than checking boxes. It helps create a more professional experience for your sellers and gives you more space to focus on pricing strategy, marketing, negotiation, and client relationships.
When the backend is organized, the listing process feels smoother from start to finish.
Final Takeaway
October is a great time to strengthen your systems before the final stretch of the year.
Better listing organization, stronger transaction support, clean offer writing, and seller-side services can all help you create a smoother experience for your clients while reducing the amount of admin work on your plate.
The more organized your backend is, the easier it is to stay focused on relationships, strategy, and business growth.
ProFileTM is here to help you keep every listing, offer, and transaction moving forward.
