Real Estate Team Job descriptions for every position on real estate teams are crucial for a number of reasons. Whether it be for administrative staff positions or sales agent roles, job descriptions must be used to clarify where responsibilities start and stop.
Surprisingly, many team leaders fail to create real estate team job descriptions for members of their teams. However, this typically turns out to be fatal mistake in two major ways.
- First, it’s detrimental in the screening and hiring process because we don’t want to waste too much time with people who either don’t want to or can’t perform the required roles. This takes up time that would be better used focusing on top talent that could perform well in the role.
- Second and less obvious, it could hurt us way down the road – say a year or two later – when we want to add tasks to our hire’s workload, and we want to avoid that potential problem now.
Therefore, watch as Icenhower Coaching & Consuling’s founder Brian Icenhower explains the various real estate team job descriptions in this video segment from ICC’s online course HIRE, which provides a complete hiring process for real estate teams.
