OK, Summers over! back to work!

By
Real Estate Agent with Optimar International Realty

Although I kep reading how "The Real Estate Market" is in the doldrums, i personally must say that Summer was good to me,albeit I worked my tail off harder than usual to close these transactions, it was fun!

I realized that like many here on A/R, the market has changed which means so has my marketing strategy!

Like many I was spoiled from Buyers who were driving up the housing market! Today, the buyers are different, it`s a tougher market and you have to bring "Your A Game" to work each day.

That means, I`m hiring an assistant to cover my bases as I take the next Leg Up in my career.

Hi Erika, From past experience, be certain to hire the right person (maybe I'll make that a subject of a future blog?!!) If you get the wrong person, it will set you back both in time and money. I've had dozens of assistants since in the past 10 years. Some have been great, others have been disasters!

When you hire your assistant(s), distinguish the duties for the licensed to the unlicensed assistants, up front with them. Give the unlic. the admin and clerical duties and make them accountable.
