It can be difficult for many agents to take the leap from working alone to hiring an assistant to help. It is even more difficult to find someone who has previous experience in the real estate industry. Once an assistant is hired, it is extremely important that agents train them properly so that they become an essential part of their team. However, many agents do not have enough time to fully invest in their assistant as much as they would like.
AgentEDU, a division of Agent Publishing, can help train real estate assistants on meeting the unique demands of the industry. The Assistants track is a prime addition to AgentEDU, an online video training platform that has courses for real estate agents at every level. Its 10-minute video courses are designed to help those in the industry expand their knowledge, improve their client services and increase sales.
AgentEDU’s Assistants track contains eight courses that were created to provide agents a training platform that educates assistants on everything from day-to-day responsibilities to learning about real estate regulations.
