A Vermont real estate company, Lang Associates Realtors serves the greater Burlington, VT region. In order to get to closing, you must have clients, either buyers or sellers or both, and most of your activities will revolve around acquiring them, serving them, communicating with them and preparing documents and other information for them.
Many activities are income-producing and others are strictly administrative.
How an agent balances these two types of work appears to relate strongly to their success. Some agents figure out how to delegate the administrative tasks, either by hiring an assistant or networking, and concentrating on the tasks that result in income - namely contracting with clients. They work in an office and share information with other agents, are part of a franchise in which the franchise managers share information, and part of their local, state, and national associations which also share information. The morning may begin with an office meeting in which the agents share their new listings and their buyer's needs. The first of the week may include an office or an MLS tour in which homes that have just been listed, reduced in price, or had major improvements will be showcased by the listing agent.
