The Best Way to Build Out a Real Estate Team with Gavin Timms » Episode 1065

Hiring the perfect real estate team takes a bit of work, but it can take your business to the next level. Your team is everything, especially if you want to spend more time working on your business instead of in it. Having key team members allows your business to run so you can spend time focusing on growth and planning for more free time.The first hire you should make is a virtual assistant. Offloading simple tasks to your VA will free up so much of your time, as all those little things really do add up. For cold calling, you can either have your VA do that as well or hire another dedicated person who can prescreen leads for you. Getting folks for acquisition and disposition tasks is super important, as well as someone you trust to help you with contracts. Some of these higher-level positions will cost more than virtual assistants and you’ll want to make sure they’re a good fit. Don’t be afraid to have them take a personality test to help you understand them better.Communication is key and you should elevate your team for a job well done every chance you can. Being in constant contact with them eliminates confusion and makes sure everyone’s on the same page. Know what excites them and makes them tick so that they stick around for the long haul. They’re critical to your business growth and success.What’s Inside:—How to hire a high-performing real estate team.—Where to look for the best VAs.—The importance of hiring people for acquisition and disposition.—Why you should elevate your team members.
