My assistant has been with me over two years. She speaks spanish and english and has been an asset to our operation. She recently told me she wanted to get a Real Estate license. I told her that if she took the course and passed I would pay. She has helped some of our buyers looking through the MLS and has found the right properties and has saved me lots of gas. She is very good at looking for what Buyers tell us they are looking for. She recently found a house for one of our buyers it was the second home we showed them and they bought it for $895,000. I only had to show TWO Properties and they bought.
She is excellent at asking questions and actually going through the properties to find a handful of homes and they will buy one of them. She know gives prices and ask's all the right questions. I know that soon she is going to want to go out in the field. I find that assistants who decide to go out make great agents if they have marketing skills and were new to the business. I am lucky because my assistantis great in that area. I have had other agents who told me that they were lucky to have licensed assistants they they got right out of school to train.
My question is, is it better to have a licensed assistant or not? I have had probably 10 assistants only two have had licenses. The first was the worse she wanted to do things her way and not mine. Her and I were like oil and water. She was the worse assistant I have ever had she was with me One Month and that was too long. She told one of my clients that he was a pain in the a _ s. My assistant that just got her license was never in the business before I gave her the opportunity. I was able to train her my way, and she is a good listener. I am 50/50 on the license or not license. Thought I would check out the responses.
