Are There Not Enough Hours in the Day?
Feeling overwhelmed with your workload is something many real estate agents experience. You are responsible for marketing, lead generation, client interaction, administrative tasks, and more. Eventually it can seem like accomplishing all the necessary tasks for each of your clients is completely impossible. Like there are simply not enough hours in the day to complete your workload. If this feeling is beginning to be your new normal, it is definitely time to hire help.
When hiring help it is okay to start small. Hire a part-time virtual real estate assistant that can handle your schedule, email, and some social media scheduling. Just taking a few things off your plate will feel like a huge relief.
Is the Quality of Your Work Slipping?
You may feel that as a real estate agent you must be a Jack, or Jill, of all trades. In reality though, that is not going to be the most beneficial strategy for your business. It is a better approach to focus on the aspects of your job you love and truly shine at such as customer service; and hire someone to complete the tasks you don’t like to put attention on, such as your paperwork. Of course you still want to be a well-rounded agent, but specializing in order to improve your service is never a bad idea. The quality of your work is the backbone of your business’s reputation. Therefore you should ensure the quality of your work is always the best you can offer, even if you’re hiring someone to help you attain that.
