June 01 2015
It's no secret that real estate agents are busy people! From meeting with clients and conducting home tours to coordinating home inspections and making sure that every 'i' is dotted and 't' is crossed on legal documents, it can be hard to find enough hours in the day to do all that other administrative work you are supposed to do. You know, stuff like updating your website, coordinating events and scheduling social media posts.
When you start to get overwhelmed, it makes sense to consider hiring a real estate assistant. Even a part-time assistant can help you organize your schedule and take care of admin duties so you can spend more time focusing on your buyers and sellers.
If you're thinking about hiring a real estate assistant, here are some DO's and DON'Ts to help you pick the right person:
DO's
Do create a job description.
Before you begin the hiring process, create a job description a list of all the things you want an assistant to do for you. This way you will both know what to expect and there is no gray area. It's also important to know what an unlicensed assistant can and can't do before you hire.
