One of the things that you’re going to want to think about when you are working in real estate is the importance of having all of the right information in the right places; listing coordination is a big part of this.

When you are helping home owners to sell their property, listing coordination is about farm more than just making sure that the home is listed in the MLS. After all, the listing coordination process is about more than just the listing itself. You’re going to want to be sure that you’re thinking about:

• The accuracy of the information included.
• The photos that are being used to market the listing.
• The inclusion of the listing information online.
• The importance of keeping your clients up to date about what’s going on in the selling process.
• Marketing open houses so that the right prospective buyers show up.
• Answering questions from both the seller and prospective buyers.

By working with a real estate assistant who can focus on the listing coordination process, you’re going to find that nothing goes undone – even the little details are sure to be taken care of along the way. In other words, you’ll find that accurate listing information is included everywhere that it needs to be and that you are able to market the property far more effectively than you would otherwise be able to do.

Working with sellers is something that, from time to time, may be a little bit challenging – especially if the home doesn’t seem to be moving from the market. Some listing coordination services may prove to be enough to attract more attention to the listing.

For example, if you put a home on the market in the beginning of September, now that autumn is in full swing and Halloween and Thanksgiving are approaching, you may want to consider using new photos that have a bit of a seasonal touch. There are two benefits to this really, one of the first things that you are going to see is that the image looks more current – the second is a result of that, the listing starts to look a bit newer.

Ultimately, what you are going to find is that you can benefit from these services even if you don’t have the time to go in and make the changes yourself – a real estate assistant can handle the process for you. One of the things that you’re going to find, in other words, is that working with the right real estate assistant not only helps with getting the phone answered and reports prepared: your real estate assistant will also be able to contribute to the process of listing coordination to keep everything up to date.

Listing coordination is an essential service that you can offer as a real estate professional – if yours could use a boost, why not bring on a real estate assistant who can help you out every step of the way?

A real estate assistant can make sure that each listing you bring on has a great feature sheet. She can make sure that the Just Listed postcards feature the best artwork and can ensure that when you send out announcements they get noticed. She can also make sure that the listing that appears on Realtor.com and on other real estate websites are the best they can be – whether that means including a virtual tour, choosing the best photos and making sure that links back to your website take visitors to the right page.

More importantly, your real estate assistant can take control of keeping each of the sellers in the loop. With bi-weekly reports or monthly reports, each seller that you’re working with will know what you are doing to help them to sell their home. With great home staging guides (branded for your business, of course) along with showing tips, you can be sure that they are doing their part as well.

Listing coordination – making sure that everything is in its place and that your sellers are ahead of the game – can help you to attract additional listings and grow your business: why not make sure that you’re doing all that you can?

If you’ve been wanting to ensure that all of your sellers have a better sense of what’s going on, it may be time to focus more on listing coordination. However, when you already are focused on meetings and scheduling appointments and trying to return calls and emails, sometimes it’s hard to streamline the process.

Fortunately, a real estate virtual assistant can get your listing coordination process in top shape – and stay on top of it for you.

A real estate virtual assistant can make sure that:

• the listing is added to the MLS so that buyer’s agents will be aware that the property is on the market;
• the listing is added to websites that buyers who are looking for properties on their own will be aware that the home is on the market;
• all of the information about the property, showings and, if applicable condo fees, is accurate;
• the property has a great virtual tour;
• emails are sent out to to all of those clients who are looking for similar properties;
• great flyers are created to advertise the property;
• newspaper advertisements are well-written and placed; and
• listings are enhanced with great photos, appealing and accurate copy and links back to your real estate office.

More than that, we can also work with you to create great tip sheets for your sellers so that they understand the process of selling a home. They can be provided with tip sheets on which changes to make and which can wait, how to stage the home, and other guides that will streamline the process for them too.
