How many of you have considered a licensed Real Estate Assistant?

Hi Faith:

I have an entire old post on this subject. Some say it's great, and I thought I wasted a year teaching someone, but it could have been the wrong person. I think if you find the right person, someone who is good at the things you aren't good at...you can make more money with an assistant. Right now, I just use a coordinator and ask some of my agents to help me show or sort of work as a pinch hitting assistant...

have 2 licensed and 1 transaction closer (and my husband I almost team sell since he quit his corporate job 2 years ago and came to work with me)- you can't be everywhere and I have closed 85 transactions year to date. 

We always advise our clients to automate and create systems as best they can to take their hands out of the process. Many use Virtual Assistants effectively. This allows Realtors to focus on what they do best - serve their clients. Their VA's manage their listings, leads, closings and administrative duties as well. That might well be an option for many if you can't automate.
