Do You Value Your Time?

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherME1) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 06:50:00 PDT

Hiring of a Virtual Assistant is a big step for a Real Estate Professional with a growing business. The biggest concern seems to always be - How can I afford it? And the answer is....How can you NOT afford it?

What is your time worth? Have you determined your rate/hour? Is it $50/hour, $75/hour or $100/hour? Take the time to figure out what you are worth!

Once you have determined the dollar value of your time, figure out how many hours every week you are spending maintaining your listings, posting photos on all your websites, communicating with sellers, contract/closing paperwork and tasks, website updates, monthly mailers and all the other things you do! (and be honest!) Don't include your time spent on the 3 most important tasks for every real estate professional - listings, lead generation and closing deals.

Are you spending 5, 10, 15 hours a week on these tasks? Now, all you have to do is multiply your hourly rate times the number of hours. (5 hours X $50 = $250) So with those 5 hours, how many listing appointments could you attend, how many calls could you make to your sphere, FSBO's or Expireds, how many closings could you negotiate? Get the point? Next look at all the ideas you have and the things you wish you could do, but you just don’t have the time to implement. What is that worth?

A Virtual Assistant at $25-30/hour costs far less than the $250 you are paying yourself as the assistant! And you'll find the VA is more efficient! What takes you 5 hours to do - might take the VA 4 hours!!

Ask yourself again - can I afford NOT to get some help? Whether you use your extra time to generate more business or to spend it with your family - you'll find that hiring a VA is the best "bang for your buck!"

Generating More Referrals for Georgia Real Estate Agents

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherME1) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 04:34:00 PST

Growing a your real estate business is tough work. It's a constant and time consuming task to develop and maintain your "sales funnel" with qualified prospects. Finding great prospects does not come from just a cold call situation, but from building a strong referral business. Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at 7 tactics to generate more referrals in your business.

The Benefits of a Referral Based Business

Generating a referral based business makes sense for most real estate professionals for the following reasons:

1. Referral business reduces your sales expenses and sales cycle. With less time calling cold prospects, you can focus on customers and their circle of influence.

2. Referrals can build your level of satisfied customers. The cycle self-perpetuates with more satisfied customers referring others to you and your team.

3. Referrals increase your sales revenue. According to world-renowned sales trainer, Tom Hopkins, in "Sales Prospecting for Dummies"; your closing ratio for non-qualified leads is 10 percent versus a 60 percent close ratio with referred leads.

The prospect of building a referral based business is enticing, yet why do so few real estate professionals do it? Because they use the wrong approach in building referrals and have limited success.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

1. Set A Target: Start tracking your referrals and results to improve performance. Set a goal with a time line. Example, 10% increase in referral business over the next 3 months.

2. Timing: Many sales trainers/coaches/brokers will tell you the best time to ask for the referral is immediately after the close. This might appear to be a little aggressive for some of your clients. Give them time to experience your service before asking for a referral. Ask for the referral at close only if your client is already delighted with your business.

Check back next week and learn more about generating referrals. For assistance in developing a tracking system for your referrals or ideas on following up after the sale, call AnotherME. We assist realtors around the country with listing coordination, marketing and closing coordination - making our clients "look good" and helping them deliver quality service which generates more referrals!

Good News for Atlanta Real Estate Agents

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherME1) — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 09:31:00 PST

According to a report by CNN Money, Atlanta is one of the Top Ten Cities to bounce back in 2008! Atlanta made the list for the following reasons: relatively affordable, we missed out on the housing bubble, and we continue to enjoy steady employment and income growth! Read more below!

Ten Cities Ready To Bounce Back
By Paul Kaihla, CNNMoney.com

Projected median sales prices for single-family homes:
Q1 2008: $177,750
Q4 2009: $187,640
Growth: 5.6 percent

Half a million dollars probably won't buy you a home in one of Atlanta's Martha Stewart-style neighborhoods. And that's a good thing, argues Dan Forsman, CEO of Prudential Atlanta. Forsman says the smart money here will move upmarket, in exactly the opposite direction of where it will go in New Orleans. The biggest increase will be in properties priced at $750,000 in high-end communities northeast of the city -- suburbs like Druid Hills, Duluth, Johns Creek and Suwanee. The construction cost of a home in those areas is $260 a square foot; right now, you can pick one off for $180.

Boding well for the local economy, "Hotlanta" boasts one of the highest rates of job growth in so-called creative-class occupations in the country. Why? It's the top destination in America for young professionals, a transportation hub (Atlanta's airport is the busiest in the world), and a place where most Fortune 500 companies maintain a regional presence. Projections by researchers at the U.S. Census Bureau and Virginia Tech place Atlanta at the center of a "megapolitan" cluster of urban sprawl that will develop over the next quarter-century, encompassing 7 million people.

This points to another niche real estate play: As buildable land around the city disappears, downtown neighborhoods on the brink of transformation are ripe for investment.

Why Hire a Georgia VA

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherME1) — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 10:08:00 PST

Top 5 Reasons for Using a VA in your Real Estate Business

1. Hiring a VA gives you an experienced professional assistant ready to jump in and start helping you with your business! Whether it's listing support, marketing, transaction coordination or website design!

2. VA's have a their own office, complete with PC's, phones, fax, scanners, software, internet connections, etc - and that means you won't have those additional capital expenses!

3. Because VA's are self employed contractors, you eliminate the expenses associated with a full time employee; such as hiring expenses, health insurance, payroll taxes, vacation benefits, 2 breaks per day, training time, sick days, etc.

4. Rather than maintaining an office staff for the peak periods in your business, add a Real Estate Virtual Assistant for the busy months or when your in house assistant goes on vacation.

5. A VA can handle your Lead Management program, your Marketing, your Listing Coordination, your Transaction Management, your Database Updates... the list goes on and on!

Local Virtual Assistants in Atlanta, GA

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherME1) — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 09:00:00 PST

What a GREAT Idea!

3 years ago, an idea sparked the Technology and Internet business community, and it has spread like wildfire. The idea was based on the premise that individuals, small businesses and large corporations alike could take advantage of all the advances in Technology and outsource most of their administrative tasks to "Virtual Assistants" (VA's).

Today, the Real Estate industry is catching on to the idea of a Virtual Assistant. There are Virtual Assistants who specialize only in the real estate industry. Considering all the ups and downs in the real estate business today, a VA makes sense! Operating as an independent contractor, a VA works from their own office, provides their own equipment, pays their own taxes & insurance and so much more. Basically, a VA will relieve you of the stress and time consuming job of hiring and training an additional employee (or employees!).

Even better, your VA has a vested interest in your success. If you are making money, then your VA will be working hard behind the scenes helping you keep your business and personal life in balance! Helping you stay ahead of your competition, on track with your goals and making you look good!

What a great idea! For more information about hiring a Virtual Assistant, check out AnotherME! We are a team of professional, real estate virtual assistants specializing in marketing, listing coordination and transaction management. (www.anotherme.com or 770-414-9393)

Business Planning for GA Real Estate Professionals

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherME1) — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 06:14:00 PST

Plan Your Work and Work Your Plan

This is the time of year when everyone reflects back on their business, their successes and their challenges during the year. It's a time when individuals and businesses alike set new goals and create a business plan for the coming year. The old saying of planning your work and working your plan is critical, but it doesn't have to be chore or a 3 day "Lock In" with a 100 page report.

Ask yourself a few questions and then break it down into 5 simple steps.

What were your successes and challenges in 2007? What are the market challenges facing my business in the coming year. Did I/we miss out on opportunities because we couldn't be everywhere at one time? How can I/we improve our service to our clients?

And then follow these simple steps:

1. Determine your competitive advantage - what makes you unique?

2. What is your Mission Statement? This is your day to day operating guide and the foundation for making future business decisions

3. Look to the future - this is where you Think BIG!

4. Create a profile of your ideal 'buyer' and ideal 'seller'. Even your ideal listing!

And Finally...

5. Take Inventory of your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. (SWOT)

By taking an inventory of your strengths and weaknesses, you can quickly determine your requirements for adding a Virtual Assistant to your business plan. Focus on your strengths and let go of the little stuff. Hire a Real Estate-Focused Virtual Assistant, then let her handle all those tedious and repetitive tasks that take your time, energy and your focus away from your strengths! Prospecting, selling, listing, negotiating...

As you examine your opportunities, are you planning to add a buyer's agent or targeting a new home subdivision or condo development or maybe you have taken on new responsibilities in your office or accepted a position with a charity or your local board? These activities will also take your focus and your time. Hiring a Virtual Assistant can give you the freedom to maximize these opportunities and help you take care of the business basics! (setting up your listings, maintaining websites, updating sellers, monthly marketing campaigns, reporting, database updates, etc)

So, plan your work and work your plan! If a Virtual Assistant is part of your plan, give us a call and let us help you work that plan! (770-414-9393 or http://www.anotherme.com/)

The Big Question for Realtors? "When Should You Hire an Assistant?"

Hiring an assistant can be an important addition to a realtor’s business. Hiring an assistant can also be one of the most frustrating experiences in business; in addition to being financially challenging.

So where do you start? Many experts recommend that you start by making a list of the tasks you want to delegate to an assistant. (creating flyers, entering listings, scheduling showings, Top Producer updates, etc) Then, make a list of the tasks that you are not highly skilled at doing. (website maintenance, managing a monthly newsletter campaign or a farming campaign, creating a listing presentation, etc)

From there you will have an idea whether you need to hire a full time or a part time assistant. However, if your task list adds up to 10-15 hours a week, does it make sense to hire a part-time assistant, train them and try to find something for them to do during the slow times in your business?

What are your options? A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT! A Virtual Assistant works by the hour or by the project - an ideal option for the agent who needs help, but not full time! A Real Estate Virtual Assistant (REVA) is already trained in many of the popular real estate programs and has experience! You start out way ahead of the curve in that you are paying for services you need and you don't have to train. But wait, there's more...with a REVA you won't have the added expense of taxes, purchasing additional office space or equipment, and no vacation or sick days!

So make out your task list, add up the hours and see if it makes sense for you to hire an on-site assistant or a VIRTUAL ASSISTANT!

Marketing Ideas That Won't Break the Bank

Real estate agents are always looking for ways to creatively and inexpensively keep in touch with clients and stay visible in the community. Consistent advertising and marketing is the key to growing your business. Even in a slow market or on a tight budget, there are plenty of ways you can advertise and get your name out to prospects and your sphere!

Here are a few inexpensive and even FREE ideas:

1. Send a Digital Newsletter each month packed with useful articles and tips for your clients. (In a time crunch? A virtual assistant can do this for you! )

2. Write a personal email "just checking in" and send it as a BCC (Blind Copy) to ALL of your clients.

3. Email a piece of trivia to your database each month, and award the first person to respond with the correct answer a $25 gift card to a restaurant.

4. Keep a vase full of carnations or candy canes in your office with your business card attached to each one. Make sure to hand them out to everyone who stops by. (even the delivery folks)

5. Partner up and cut your marketing costs in half. Choose your favorite professional referral source and send out a postcard together. Being creative AND visible will greatly increase the likelihood that prospects will remember you and your services.

If you are looking for a Virtual Assistant who can help you implement and maintain your marketing campaigns, call the team of professionals at AnotherME for more information! (770-414-9393)

Birthday Marketing to Your Sphere of Influence

Do you love receiving birthday cards? Hey, we all have a little kid inside of us that wants to be remembered on our birthday!

Are you sending birthday cards to show that you are thinking of others?

Sending a simple birthday card is a wonderful, personal way to stay in touch with your past clients. It shows that you remember and care about them! When you take the time to send a birthday card you are building on the relationship you started when you helped them buy or sell their home. When you remember your clients, they will be more inclined to remember you when it comes to sharing your name with their friends and associates!

You're ready to get started! But wait, you don’t have client birthdays in your database?

Here are a few ways to start building your birthday list.

1) For those who attend your closings: ask your closing attorney or title company for a copy of your client's driver’s license. Closing attorneys and title companies always get a copy of your client’s driver’s license! Easy!

2) As you organize and archive last year’s closing files, find the birth dates and enter them in an Excel spreadsheet or your Top Producer account.

3) Starting from scratch? Create a New Client Info Form to give your Seller’s and Buyer’s and include a section for birthdays. Add children’s birthdays and pets, too!

Whatever steps you take to build your Birthday database – AnotherME's Virtual Assistants can help! Whether you need to update your database or Top Producer, set up reminders, create that customized New Client Info form, or even create a special campaign to gather birth dates, give us a call to see how we can help you make your clients feel special.

And, if you already have a database of birthdays but need a convenient system for sending cards – let us show you a cool, new online greeting card system that’s ideal for sending all kinds of cards!

Virtual Assistants for Real Estate

The 'Virtual Assistance' business has been around for many years, gaining popularity in the last 5-7 years with the proliferation of the Internet and Internet-based programs. In the corporate world and government, it's called outsourcing - hiring independent consultants for discrete projects or hiring staffing companies to take over order entry, call centers, mail room duties or other such daily tasks. Most Virtual Assistants have areas of expertise like legal, accounting, website design or marketing.

And yes, there are Real Estate Virtual Assistants - REVA's!

A Real Estate Virtual Assistant is an independent contractor who specializes in the real estate industry and who works remotely from a complete home office (how many agents work from home instead of the office?) There are individual REVA's with specific specialties who work with a limited number of clients, and multi-VA 'companies' who have several specialists on staff to handle a larger number of clients or high volume clients. REVA's are in business to support real estate professionals who are interested in a collaborative relationship, a business partner versus an employee.

Pricing varies, but one thing is consistent; you only pay for the time spent on your tasks or a project. Unlike an "in-house" assistant, a REVA is not "on the clock" for bathrooms breaks, lunch hours, sick days, personal time off or sitting around during your slow times. A 40 hour work week for a traditional employee can turn into a 15-20 hour a week with a VA.

Working with a REVA, you have a trained assistant who is familiar with many of the industry programs and software, and who is up to date on what's happening in the real estate industry. In addition, the community of Real Estate Virtual Assistants is a supportive industry. We share resources, knowledge, experience. If we don't know the answer to something, we know where to go to find it! Sort of like a "Geek Squad" for real estate.

So whether you need help with a few projects or daily assistance, check out a Real Estate Virtual Assistant! AnotherME is a multi-VA company assisting agents throughout the southeast!

Transaction Coordination, Contract to Close, Closing Coordination, Transaction Management…

Whatever you call it, it's a service that all professional real estate agents should consider adding to their business.

A Transaction Coordinator/Closing Coordinator is the person responsible for managing and monitoring the contract, coordination all communication and assisting your clients through the closing process. In some transactions, there can be up to 15 parties involved in the deal: buyers and sellers, co-op agents, escrow companies, title companies, closing attorneys, appraisers, inspectors and don’t forget the loan officers and processors.

The Closing Coordinator handles all the details, keeps the communication flowing between all parties, and makes sure that everyone is “doing their job!” Then you can focus on new business while still providing excellent service to your clients under contract. When you get to the closing table, and everything has fallen into place without a hitch, you look good.

And when you look good, you know you have happy clients! Happy clients equal more referrals!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Real Estate Contracts have gone Virtual!

noreply@blogger.com (AnotherME1) — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 05:05:00 PST

Studies show that on average real estate agents spend up to 18 hours working on a single contract closing. If you are handling just 2-3 contracts per month, you could be losing 40-60 hours of productive time that could be spent on building new business, prospecting or even on vacation.

Virtual Assistants /Transaction Coordinators help real estate agents better utilize their precious time, with no overhead costs of office space or supplies. A Transaction Coordinator manages the process of a closing from the binding agreement date to the closing date including the paperwork, deadlines and communications. They become your central point of contact to make it all happen on time. And with today’s technology, communication should never be a problem. Whether you communicate via phone, fax, email, or instant messenger - staying in touch is just a click away.

Take control of your time and see how you can increase your business
