To refresh... what you learned in a past post - I worked in education and real estate has a LOT of paperwork.
As a real estate assistant for Beth, my role is a bit different than that of the average assistant. Beyond the managing of the paperwork, I help guide all of our buyers through the process of buying a new home, I'm charged with our website design and updating, and try to be Beth's right hand. It's a lot more details than that, but that gets boring to talk about. Basically the above 3 things are my favorite pieces of the work.
Of course, I'm more than my job. I actually took this job because I wanted to be more than my job. Teaching and running a school had become all consuming and I wanted to make sure that I kept some of me to go home to.
The details of the job do tend to follow me home. Cannot tell you how many mornings I wake up with a partial list running through my head - call Mary about her appraisal, make sure Grace heard from the listing agent with the code to get in for the inspection, update the website, edit photos of new home for Jim, check in with Village Title about the closing for Friday...
But a quick scribble of the list and I can enjoy my coffee and know that I can handle the day ahead without worry...
