Transaction coordination, listing, lead and marketing roles for agents, teams and brokerages, inside licensing rules. Every role is dedicated, on a customized schedule based on your needs and budget.
How dedicated assistants fit real estate brokerages & teams
Roles on this page:
Real estate teams win on speed and follow-through: leads answered quickly, listings launched cleanly, and contracts tracked to close without missed dates. Most of that work is administrative.
Remote assistants handle the unlicensed work. Showing property, negotiating, giving opinions of value or interpreting contracts stays with licensed agents, under your brokerage's policies and state law.

What these roles do not do
Clear boundaries protect you, your clients and your assistant. They are written into each scope of work.
No showing property, negotiating, interpreting contract terms or giving opinions of value; these require a license and stay with agents.
Outbound calls and texts follow TCPA, do-not-call lists and consent rules the brokerage sets.
Fair housing rules apply to all marketing and lead communication.
Earnest-money and wire instructions are never sent by the assistant; wire-fraud warnings follow brokerage policy.
General information only, not legal, tax or compliance advice. Your compliance owner decides what applies to your business.
