Real Estate Assistants?

[Joe Liu]

Hi guys, I've kind of switched gears and have gone from REI back to Real Estate Agent since there appears to be a flood of buyers (also its been a pain to find deals in my area lately with the foreclosure laws changing). I've been mostly targeting home sellers to list their houses since people are starting to get equity back again. If they are motivated sellers, then the REI stuff comes into play, but for the most part, I have been able to list and sell a house in a day. Does anyone have a real estate assistant and if so, how much do you pay them and what do you make them do? I've seen some realtors with an escrow assistant and multiple buyers brokers assistants, but there closing quite a bit of deals. I am thinking if I can get something setup and going, that I maybe able to get a pipeline going and have my assistants handle most of the brunt work while I do dual REI and REA stuff.
