Here’s the thing: What is your time really worth? You can’t make $200,000 a year if you have too much on your plate. You need to admit to yourself that some tasks can be delegated to someone else. I understand the temptation to do everything yourself. You have so much to do, and it seems easier to just do it all yourself, rather than take the time to hire someone to do it for you, then keep track of their work and pay them, etc. So, what’s the solution? It’s easy: Hire a virtual assistant. Once you hire a virtual assistant, you can give them three or four tasks you would have normally done yourself — and you don’t have to break the bank to hire someone. Then, you can start leveraging your virtual assistants and free up your time to focus on activities that are truly valuable to you as an agent. For example, do you usually answer the phone when other agents call in with feedback on your listings? You could hire a virtual assistant to email disclosures out to another Realtor® or answer a question about a listing. You can have your virtual assistant follow up with the lender on a closing, order a survey, enhance your pictures, email clients, or work on your website. All of this can be handled by someone other than you.
