Administrative Work

Start the day  with a check of emails and new phone calls. Return every inquiry that came in overnight. Update websites and social media profiles and tweak daily replying to people on Google plus and Pinterest, Twitter,Facebook and Instagram. Complete, submit and file documents, agreements and leases. Coordinate your calendar appointments, showings, open houses and meetings. Create and distribute flyers, newsletters and other promotional materials. Work on budgets for monthly, quarterly and annual operations.Keep on top of data entry and maintaining and managing client databases. Develop marketing plans for listings. Write blog articles and share content, ideas and advice daily. Doing daily research for an article or preparing an article for online publication can cut down on the stress of “deadlines”! On a side note of administrative tasks, agents who hire assistants consistently say that they would never have been able to move to the next level in their business had they not hired help. This makes sense when one considers that an assistant helps increase your efficiency, thereby freeing you up to perform the important tasks.

Follow-Up   
                                                                                                                   
Following up on any and all emails, comments, snail mail and telephone calls is a top priority daily.  Whether this is the immediate follow-up of a website contact or spending time putting your leads on email campaigns, follow-up is critical. Customer Relationship Management or CRM and automation can ease the time factor and make sure contact is regulated. A couple of times a week, take some time to take a new or former client out to lunch or coffee and attend a social event after work. Becoming a “regular” helps solidify your position in the community. Even one hour a week devoted to this task will boost your productivity and assure future business. Spend a few  minutes daily writing notes and catching up with contacts on the phone to see if you can be helpful to them.

Real estate agents must balance their schedules between daily management obligations and income-producing activities. This means spending time at the office or meeting with clients, showing homes and doing some traveling. Most agents have a To Do List that is long and can change at a moment's notice. There is no such thing as a typical day! But, if you can get into a habit and make some of these suggestions into daily events, you can create a business that will grow.
