Our assistants can do everything except prospect and negotiate for you. Here are some examples of the services we provide.
General Business Support
ProREA Staffing assistants can help you get the ever-important basics of running your business solidly in place. These basic building blocks include physcially organizing your workspace to optimize productivity, creating a yearly budget and tracking expenses and income, marketing and prospecting plans, and making personalized checklists to manage Listings, Escrows and Marketing.
Contact Management
Who you know and how you keep in touch is the foundation of your business, though many busy agents let contact management fall through the cracks. Leave the detailed work of managing your contacts to a ProREA Staffing professional.
We help our clients capture and convert their internet leads by putting them on a custom 8×8 Action Plan in Top Producer and assisting with follow-up. If needed, we can assist in transitioning to a new database management system by exporting all contacts, helping categorize and clean up the database and importing it into the new system. A ProREA Staffing Assistant can also maintain databases by adding new contacts, updating current client information, entering Open House Sign in Sheets and business cards and assigning contacts to the appropriate Action Plan.
For serious callers, your ProREA Assistant will send daily call lists, track calls and results such as buyer/seller leads, appointments, sales, etc., and motivate and hold you accountable to reaching your contact goal every day. Can you imagine how your lead generation will soar with this kind of accountability partner?!
Because the business of real estate is all about relationships, we will export/import contacts into online card companies such as Hallmark, Birthday Alarm or Send Out cards to help clients send holiday, birthday, and anniversary cards. Your thoughtfulness around these occasions will truly endear you to your client base.
For those agents doorknocking and working their Farm, we can manage and update Farm database lists on a regular basis to ensure your efforts translate to results.
Social Media
Clients, and potential clients, want an agent that is social media savvy. Another detail-oriented and sometimes time consuming task, all your social media needs can be handled by a tech-savvy ProREA Assistant.
We can design and maintain blog, FaceBook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts and streamline your Social Media efforts so that you can use the tools efficiently. This includes “Friend-ing” on FaceBook any new contacts added to your database, commenting and responding on your behalf on FaceBook and Twitter to maintain your visibility when you can’t be online, post and monitor your testimonials on Agent Review websites, and assisting with blog posting and management. And for that extra step, we can monitor RSS feeds for interesting articles or news that you can use for blog articles or to Twitter to your followers.
Marketing
Marketing need not be expensive or complicated to be effective. ProREA Assistants are skilled in maximizing your marketing dollars with plans that create results in terms of market share. We will create, implement, and maintain all touch systems including 33 Touch, Buyer, Seller, FSBO, and Expired 8×8. And for your listing and buyer appointments, we create custom Buyer and Seller packages.
We alo provide custom graphic design for post cards, flyers, brochures, and all your printed materials needs. Whether you’re doing a mailing for a new listing or need materials for door knocking, ProREA can provide custom designs that will set you apart.
We will build a monthly newsletter in a mass email program like Constant Contact, organize and manage newsletter content on a monthly basis, and upload contacts monthly into your e-newsletter database. Additionally, we will update your website with new listings, listing changes and testimonials.
To make certain your listings have maximum visibility, we market listings on Craigslist, LA Times, Postlets.com, Realtor.com, FaceBook and Twitter. We send out Just Listed/Sold postcards through internet companies or Livepost, as well as mass email flyers for property updates. Your ProREA Assistant will also create and monitor advertisments for your listings in the LA Times, local newspaper, or local publications and write ad copy
Buyers & Listings
To help manage your listings from pre-listing to close of escrow, your ProREA staffer will enter listings in the MLS and your company website, maintain the Listing File, and hold Open Houses and assist with Showings.
