When should you hire your first assistant in your real estate business? When are you ready?
If you’re consistently selling at least three homes every month, I believe that’s the time when you should invest in an assistant because there are so many things that take place during a real estate transaction that are not dollar producing. As a real estate agent, you need to focus on net-producing activities such as networking, lead generation and conversion, listing appointments, and showings. Delegating the other tasks to an assistant will free up your time to invest in other activities. In our business, we’ve hired licensed coordinators to handle transactions so all our agents can focus on other tasks.
If you’re apprehensive about bringing someone else on and paying them a salary, there are ways to add fees to transactions to help pay for this. That’s another whole discussion we can have if you want to give me a call; I can get into more details about it.
If you want to know more or have any questions, feel free to call or shoot me a text. I would be glad to help you.
