We have had the pleasure of working with Bridget and her team for many years. Her team’s competence and high level of service gives us the certainty that our listing and escrow documents are in compliance with the ever changing standards in our industry. Bridget is responsive to any issues that arise, and also tailors her services when we have a client with special needs and requests. We recommend Lighthouse Transactions, Bridget and her entire team without reservation.

To all my fellow Realtors out there,
I want to take a moment to recommend a fantastic Transaction Coordination (TC) service to you. I have been practicing real estate for over 20 years, and using a TC since my second year in the business. I wholeheartedly recommend Bridget James and Lighthouse Transactions for all you TC needs. They are so thorough, and keep me and my clients on top of our timelines with every deal. She has dramatically reduced the amount of follow up I have to be involved in with the agents on the other side of my deals, and has freed up my time to focus on serving my clients. She and her team are always available, even nights and weekends. And she even gives out her cell number for emergencies. She has a total grasp of the contract, and has put together Counter Offers, Addendums, , Request for Repairs, and Contingency Removals for me and my Team when we're not in front of our computers.
She is a real professional, and an integral part of our Team. Do yourself a favor and give her your next file. You won't be disappointed!

For almost a decade, Bridget has been my transaction coordinator for one reason and one reason only. She is simply the best. I'm not sure how she does it because I know she's super busy. But never, in all the years I've worked with her, has anything ever fallen through the cracks. From the moment we open a transaction, Bridget sends all parties involved her magic timeline, which is a constant reference point throughout the process. I never have to worry about the paperwork because Bridget is always there to keep the ball rolling. I've actually had lenders and other agents tell me what an excellent job she does. Most important to me, Bridget has the best attitude! I know for a fact that I could not do my job if I didn't have Bridget there to manage my transactions and to keep me on track.

Bridget is an excellent transaction coordinator! As an agent with a high volume of business, Bridget is proactive, detail-oriented and very knowledgeable regarding the real estate documents required for every sale. She has reduced my workload tremendously. I have great peace of mind knowing that Bridget will make sure that every “t” is crossed and “i” dotted as she reviews documents and ensures all deadlines are met. I am so grateful to have her assistance! She is thoroughly professional and courteous. I highly recommend her!
Tamara Campbell - Coldwell Banker
Working with Bridget has changed my business. She invited me to consider her services 6 years ago. I did not take her up on the offer until a year later when I was overwhelmed with volume and without hesitation, we reviewed expectations and styles in a 30 minute meeting over the phone and she took over. She understands the ins and outs of the real estate transaction. She is professional and does not allow emotion to get in the way of the work. Her skills of compliance and technology have been the leverage my team needed to escalate to the next level. It’s an honor to consider her a key partner of my organization.

Bridget and her team at Lighthouse Transactions are the best! Utilizing her services has taken an incredible amount of stress and work off our plate. Organized, professional, responsive and irreplaceable are what comes to mind when describing her. No more scrambling at the last minutes of an escrow to find forms that need completing. Couldn't and wouldn't do it without her. I highly recommend !!!
Lynn Kenton and Karen Campbell- Century 21 Everest
Bridget is literally the best TC ever!! As an experienced agent I have worked with more TC’s than I can count & Bridget is by far the best! The second you open escrow, she will immediately send out an introduction email to everyone involved in the transaction & a timeline (my favorite part)! I’ve never had any other tc ever send that & it’s amazing! She is super on top of things & is always there when you need her. During part of my career I went to a brokerage where I was forced to use their tc & I missed Bridget so much! The second I left I was so excited to get her back. I can’t say enough good things & highly recommend her services!

Bridget James has been my transaction coordinator for almost 2 years now. She's absolutely the best! She is key to the success of closing my transactions on time and getting all the paperwork signed properly and in a timely manner. I never have to wait for additional compliance or jeopardize holding my commission checks. She is very knowledgeable with all the documents needed for each transaction and that's very important to me. Bridget is very organized and efficient and always prompt to respond. I'm proud to say that I deliver excellent service to my clients and I couldn't do it without Bridget's support. I recommend her to any Realtor looking to excel in their business. Thank you Bridget for a job well done!
Cecilia Lewis and Associates- Keller Williams
Lighthouse Transactions is the perfect complement to an active real estate Agent’s business. Bridget and her team’s level of service is unsurpassed as she consistently goes above and beyond. Bridget’s vast knowledge of contracts and the hundreds of transactions she has assisted in closing, allows you as the Agent to spend your time creating new contracts and clients.
I must admit that prior to working together, I was a bit concerned about the “virtual” part and Bridget not being here in my office. As it turns out, that is not even an issue…and never has been. The addition of Lighthouse Transactions to my team has been an integral part of me being able to increase my production, year after year. There is no way I could do what I do at the level I do it, without Bridget and her TC service
Mary Fealkoff - Berkshire Hathaway CA Realty
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the professionalism Bridget has shared working as my team assistant over the past several years and as my Transaction Coordinator since 2011. She is very knowledgeable, detailed oriented, experienced and very organized. As my assistant she could fluctuate efficiently from working on details of a transaction, schedules, reviews, creating marketing brochures and requests for information, all done in a manner to maintain progress.
Bridget of Lighthouse Transactions, presently handles my files of a very large team of Agents without imperfections, keeping us all in sync, informed of very important timelines and displays excellent communication with all parties. She is very accessible, has never disappointed me and still amazes me to this day how fast and efficient she handles the huge volume of work and demands of my transactions from contract to close.
Bridget is an excellent component and comfort to my #1 team of top producing Agents, Keller Williams, Westlake Village. I highly recommend Lighthouse Transactions, Bridget’s team and wonderful service as an asset to any Agent.
Tristan Ahumada Keller Williams Westlake Village
I have been working with Bridget James from Lighthouse Transactions for the past year and I have been extremely pleased by her professionalism, support, knowledge and quick response in handling all tasks.
Bridget is easy to work with and always eager to assist in any way she can. She is willing and capable to handle a wide range of tasks to support and complete the real estate transactions.
As a successful and busy agent, I would not be able to handle the constant shuffling of paperwork between all parties involved and the attention to detail necessary to have a complete file at the end of a transaction. Bridget not only makes sure that all paperwork is signed properly and in a timely manner but she guarantees that our files are complete so that I can get paid as quickly as possible.
Bridget constantly helps me and takes on tasks beyond the scope of her transactional duties: she is like an angel who continually saves me, time and time again.
I am thrilled to have her as part of my team and I would recommend her to any other realtor looking for a transaction coordinator who gets the job done.
Thank you Bridget!

Bridget James has been my Transaction Coordinator for nearly a year, and I am so very fortunate to have her as part of my team. Bridget is exceptionally knowledgeable in how the contracts are worded, which contract/addendum to use in a specific situation, and remaining abreast of the contingency dates and other deadlines while in escrow. She is uber responsive, pleasant, and always professional. I highly recommend Bridget.

Having Bridget as my Transaction Coordinator gives me the peace-of-mind in knowing that the deals I'm working on are thoroughly completed and every "t is crossed and every i is dotted". She is professional, knowledgeable, and always conscientious. I wouldn't even think of closing a deal without hiring her!
Derek Turner, Broker/Owner, Ventura Real Estate Company
Bridget James has been an amazing part of our business here in Westlake Village. There's no better feeling than knowing I have someone who is professional, confident and consistently looks out for our team and clients best interests. I would recommend her to anyone, I'd like to keep her for myself if I could! Unfortunately I can't but that being said, Bridget could be anyones secret to a successful and smooth closing.
Sergio Gonzalez, Broker, SG & Associates
Bridget’s attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and her dedication to work efficiency are factors contributing to her success as a transaction coordinator. She opens my files and closes them timely. Not only is she good in handling paperwork, she also manages effective communication with my clients, real estate agents, escrow, lender, inspectors and many others involved in the transaction. She is experienced in DocuSign and Skyslope, which are two vital programs I use in the escrow process. With her handling all my transactions, she frees a lot of my time doing what I know best – buying and selling real estate. She is truly an asset and I will not hesitate to recommend Bridget to anyone needing transaction coordinating services.
Rod Tuazon, Troop Real Estate
As I worked in the capacity of Broker of Record for a large franchise office I had the privilege of working closely with Bridget James for about two years. Bridget worked as the Office Manager and Transaction Coordinator for a very successful team of about 6 Agents. She was able to manage a wide array of responsibilities, personalities, and multiple contracts with skill and poise. I found Bridget to be an eager learner and one that retained and applied what she learned. The real estate market at that time was going through a painful transition, so Bridget got broad experience in dealing with a wide range of transaction types, from smaller condominium sales to million dollar residences. She also dealt with bank-owned sales, probate sales, and even filled the role of short sale negotiator for some transactions. I highly recommend Bridget and her work to any Agent in need of her quality service.
Steven Rowe, Broker
I have had the pleasure of working with Bridget James, who has worked for me as a Transaction Coordinator in the past.

I have been working with Bridget of Lighthouse Transactions as my Transaction Coordinator over the past several years and find her to be extremely efficient, detailed oriented, and a skilled communicator with an extensive background in real estate training and experience. She is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and adaptable to each transaction in its unique acquisition.
I also highly recommend Bridget in handling your short sale negotiations. Every aspect of my short sales were handled with the most competency and in a timely manner. I'm sure you can understand that it is a stressful and tedious process. Bridget will navigate through all of the buyer’s and seller’s hurdles and complications. She is always accessible fighting to the end for the short sale approval as well as the transaction paperwork.
Bridget is such a pleasure to work with… “I let the professionals do what they do best, and I have more time to do what I do best, make the home buying and selling process fun and exciting.” Thank you, Bridget

Bridget has handled my transactions for 2 years. She provides great customer service to the clients and is efficient and detail oriented. Her knowledge of contracts, paperwork and the escrow process has allowed me to focus on my business of prospecting and growing, while she handles the transaction. Bridget makes my job easier and much more enjoyable, knowing that I have a true skilled and experienced professional, as my Transaction Coordinator.

I am very pleased with the service I received from Bridget. I was very impressed with how the Transaction Coordinator got the Buyer’s lender, escrow, title, general home Inspectors and everyone else on the same page. We met all our time frames and had very smooth transactions. It is nice to have a Transaction coordinator that I don’t have to remind what to do at different stages of my transactions. Bridget is extremely organized and more than happy to please agents and clients without any complaints. Thanks Bridget, for your expertise to complete my transactions.
