In today’s episode, our hosts, JD and Melissa, talk about admin assistant ups and downs. When handling many projects/businesses like short-term rentals and rehabs, you can’t afford to spend time doing small things like buying light bulbs instead of talking to buyers or clients. For this reason, you’d need to hire someone to do these small things to keep yourself on the highest-converting items on the list. How do you do it? Stay tuned!
The points below are from the 58th episode of The Real Estate JAM, where we discussed the ups and downs of being an admin assistant.

Integrity Checks
Integrity checks help ensure that the VAs hired are trustworthy and have the necessary skills and qualifications to carry out their duties effectively. Integrity checks typically involve background checks, verifying references, and interviews with the candidates to assess their suitability for the role. By conducting these checks, real estate businesses can ensure that they are hiring VAs who will be reliable and professional and who will help the business run smoothly and efficiently.
To hire or to fire?
As with any industry, hiring or firing an employee starts with identifying the need for the position, then finding qualified candidates with the necessary skills and experience. However, additional factors need to be considered. The employee may have a track record of success but may also have a history of engaging in risky behavior that could be detrimental to the company. In this case, the employer must weigh the potential benefits and drawbacks of hiring or retaining the employee and decide based on the company’s best interests.
