Over the last week or so my family has decided to try and make a move from Vegas to NH. My husband is from Long Island and has been wanting to live back east for some time now.
I am moving away from Vegas for 2 main reasons. My children need better education. and I want to live in beauty.
I am a real estate transaction coordinator and excel in this line of work. I would prefer to work with a small company or under one agent or 1 team of agents and or property managers.
Before I treck my family out to NH can you all please give me a bottom line honest opinion of landing a job in real estate.
I would be coming with a letter of recommendation and lots of experience from regular sales to REO's and short sales.
I have been reading this forum so much and I love all your responses. Its been helpful and enlightening. I even have it bookmarked in my Blackberry!
thank you for that bit of information. Transaction coordinator is the person that handles gathering all paperwork, signatures, inspections, etc.. for all real estate transactions. Not title necessarily, but for the agent himself.
I guess I am considered an assistant.
I was unaware that attorneys handled escrow. This job hunt is going to be interesting to say the least!
here is a question that i think i already know the answer too...
if you live in NH but WORK in MASS, do you have to pay MASS state taxes? im almost certain thats a yes but i could be wrong.
if you do have to pay MASS taxes, when you file your return do you get it all or at least most back since really the only services you use are maybe roads to get to work and thats it? sounds kinda lame if you pay mass taxes and get no benefits from it overall.
For the most part real estate paper work is handled by loan originators, lawyers, and Realtors. If a loan is involved it is usually handled by a loan originator with assistance from the the realtor. Closings are handled by people arranged by the Realtor or the mortgage company and usually involves a lawyer.
On the taxes, if you live in NH and earn money in MA then you pay income taxes to Mass. If you are employed by a Mass company but work outside MA (as a traveling salesman, consultant, or tradesman may) then you pay taxes to Mass only on the money that you make while working in Mass. Of course you are also subject to the rules in whatever state you are working in.
I guess what I mean when I handle real estate transactions is that I work for an agent who works under a broker such as *****ential or Re/MaX and I take care of his/her paperwork. Obtaining disclosers, signature, getting the file squared away for that agent or group of agents to turn in to the broker to get the agent paid. I work under an agent as his/her assistant.
I would be hesitant to work in Boston only because I am moving out of Nevada to get away from the rush of the city.
Heck I would be happy pushing paper for anyone doing anything. Thanks for all your responses!
Any information is greatly appreciated.

Yes, you pay MA income taxes. If you don't like it, find a job in NH.
