If you are considering hiring an assistant, decide whether you want a licensed or an unlicensed person. Both can handle administrative duties, pay bills, answer phones, update your database, etc. Licensed assistants can do more real estate related transactions including facilitate closings, show listings, and compile CMAs.

Shelly Smee, a Realtor in Vancouver, shares her thoughts on her assistant, “Nanci, our unlicensed assistant, is the communication conduit between the public, our clients and the Realtors on our team. We were very lucky to find a good fit with her previous management experience in sales. She has excellent interpersonal skills and is able to multi-task. David & I bonus the team each time we meet a target. Having a vested interest in the success of our sales is only part of it though. We are very lucky to have someone who is as committed to our success as we are.”

Nabbing the Right Assistant

What should I look for in an assistant? A people-person who can handle administrative duties and has some know-how in the real estate industry is ideal. Aim for someone whose skills balance your weaknesses. A computer wizard is handy for a Realtor who doesn’t like technology.
