When did agents become Project Managers too?

Becoming a real estate agent is no small feat. At SellSmart, we understand that your role goes far beyond selling homes. As competition intensifies, you’ve become a master of versatility—negotiator, counselor, and even project manager. But when did this transformation happen?

The Challenge of Home Preparation.

In today’s real estate landscape, the demand for move-in-ready homes has skyrocketed. It’s not uncommon to encounter properties untouched since 1979 or adorned with unique, unconventional wall colors. Maximizing buyer interest in such homes can be an uphill battle, especially when sellers are unfamiliar with the themes that resonate with local buyers.

Agents often find themselves investing significant time in showcasing examples, persuading sellers to undertake necessary projects, and providing guidance to enhance their property’s market appeal.

As an experienced agent, you possess a deep understanding of the market. With SellSmart, you can guide your clients toward home improvements that not only increase the sale price but also accelerate the sale itself. This unique approach minimizes the hours spent convincing sellers and maximizes your efficiency.

Managing Trade and Service Partners

One of the most time-consuming aspects of preparing a home for sale is managing and coordinating service providers. This task often lands on the shoulders of real estate agents, consuming valuable time that could be better spent on other aspects of your role.

At SellSmart, we’ve revolutionized this process. No longer will you need to schedule multiple calls, meetings, and appointments with

various service providers. Our innovative approach ensures that after just one site visit, both you and your seller will receive multiple quotes for all the required jobs within 72 hours.

What’s even more exciting is that agencies can not only continue working with their trusted network of trade and service partners but also gain access to our extensive network of leading, licensed, and thoroughly vetted service providers. This means you can initiate home preparation process with confidence, knowing that the property will be market-ready in no time.

Project Management Made Easy

Perhaps one of the most daunting aspects of your role is managing and overseeing home improvement projects. It’s not typically part of the job description, yet you may suddenly find yourself coordinating tasks, tracking project timelines, attending walk-throughs, and managing final inspection lists. These responsibilities can quickly accumulate, adding unexpected hours to your already busy schedule.

SellSmart offers a solution that significantly simplifies project management. With our platform, you can seamlessly coordinate all these tasks, ensuring that every aspect of the project is well-organized and transparent. As the agent, you’ll have full visibility into the project’s progress, eliminating the need for constant follow-ups and allowing you to focus on other essential aspects of your role.

 

Efficient Communication

Staying updated and maintaining clear communication with clients and service providers is essential throughout the home preparation process. Yet, it can sometimes feel like you’ve transitioned from being an agent to a project manager, as you navigate a whirlwind of messages, emails, and calls.

SellSmart simplifies communication by offering a dedicated platform for all stakeholders. You’ll receive regular progress updates, conveniently delivered right to your inbox. Moreover, you can ask questions, provide comments, and share feedback—redefining collaboration one house at a time. This central hub ensures that everyone involved is on the same page, making the entire process smoother than ever.
