    For all you real estate agents / realtors out there,

    What are some of your hardest jobs to do in your daily 9-5?
    What takes the most time/money for you to complete something?

    For instance, as a complete non-professional to real estate industry, this is the 9-5 jobs that I can think of (but I may be wrong):

    – Finding the leads (cold calling? door-to-door marketing? Any other marketing ways?)
    – Turning leads into sellers (CRM with SMS/email/calendar marketing? follow up?)
    – Listing sellers to RE portals or websites (portal management? follow up?)
    – Marketing to find buyers (Newspaper? RE portals? Social network? any other marketing ways?)
    – Auction management (auction sign-ups, attendants? SMS marketing? follow up?)
    – Paperwork management (contracts? legal docs? bank docs? finance docs?)
    – CRM with buyers (with SMS/email/calendar marketing for returning purchase?)

    FYI, I’m not a real estate agent nor have been one before… I may be totally wrong with what I have listed above, or may have made it easier to do than done.

    So it’d great if you could be kind enough to list out some of your biggest pains in your day-to-day lives when you are trying to close sales.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi JeffC,
    Welcome as a new member to our site. I hope you are enjoying the information available herein.

    Re your post above, it shows a lot of thought going into the process. A pity you have had no replies, but then I don’t know just how many on here are RE agents (the numbers might be quite small).

    Further to your questions though, I wondered of your reason for asking them…. Is it simply “a need to know” as a new investor? Or are you considering creating something (an App perhaps) that will actually assist a RE agent with some of the “drudge work”, or time-consuming activities. It’s an intriguing list of questions,

    Benny

    Benny,

    You are half right.

    I work for myself, I am new to the property investing industry, trying to pick up some golden nuggets here. However on the other hand, I’m a software entrepreneur, who is focusing on developing a tool that is able to significantly solve a real pain of a RE agent.

    So before I can do that, I need to find out their daily lives at work, the procedures of their work flow, to be able to find out their difficulties, pains to solve them!

    Thank you for you reply, but do you have any one who you think can assist me on this?

    Thanks!

    Jeff,

    do you have any one who you think can assist me on this?

    I know a few RE agents, but none that I know frequent this place. I may mention your question to them next time we meet up – if any of them show interest, I will direct them to this place, and your thread.

    Maybe other members might be able to help,
    Benny
