Massive Leap







Running your real estate business without a contact management system will create a massive amount of work later down the road.  That is, when you decide that it’s finally time to ‘get on it’.   As realtors, in a busy time of year, this is one area that requires constant attention, which you just might not have time for.  Contact management is all about relationship building, which creates the “know you, like you and trust you” factor that leads to repeat clients and referrals.

A Real Estate Assistant provides solutions, supports you in maintaining the database and keeps you moving forward to stay connected all year long with your clients.  It’s easy for us, we do it all the time.
Having someone to support you with experience, proficiency and organization can give you a huge stress relief and THAT is important.  It’s our job to know how to use it and work with it. 

We want you to delegate and share your ideas on what system is best for you.  Communicating and working with you during the process and beyond is what you need in your real estate business to be successful with a contact management system. 

Don’t let all your hard work with your clients go to waste just because you’ve closed the sale.  It needs to go beyond!  Top Producing realtors do this and so can you!

Contact us to find out the right solutions for you.

Take A Realtor Task Self Test

How long do you really spend doing all those administrative tasks! Many times I’ve been told by clients that they are not sure if they really need assistance. Realtors are ALWAYS BUSY doing multitudes of different tasks. The easiest, fastest way to really know if you are ready to move your business into the next level is — take a self test.

To find out how YOU spend YOUR TIME in your real estate business, follow the 3 simple instructions below. You might be surprised at what you learn.

Here’s how:

1) Make a checklist of 3 – 5 admin tasks you do. It doesn’t matter what they are just make that list.

2) Mark beside each task how long it takes you. Yes, watch the clock and use minutes, from start to finish. To be fair to yourself, include all the interruptions.

3) When you have completed all the tasks in your check list, total up the number of minutes at the bottom. Circle it!

So what are your results?  How much time did you really spend? 

This is time that could have been spent more wisely on prospecting new and past clients, doing market evaluations, spending time with your family or even golfing. By giving some or all of these tasks to an experienced Virtual Real Estate Assistant, it WILL free up your time to focus where you need to.

All you have to do is DELEGATE (we help you with this). Even 1 hour can make a difference. (We are not hired employees, so yes, we can even work 1 hour a month for you if that’s all you need!)

Get support and help now!  If you’d like to find out more on how an experienced real estate assistant can help, download my no charge report ’5 Keys to Freedom with a Virtual Real Estate Assistant’.

Please share your results from your self test by posting a comment. I’d love to read them and so would others.
