Real Estate Marketer, Coordinator and Video Editor

Hello! My name is Jonathan and I’m a real estate agent based out of Toronto, Canada. I’m seeking my first ever hire to help me in 6 areas:

1. Video and social media marketing – editing videos, shorts, and images to post to my social media on a consistent basis. Creating just listed and just sold flyers and feature sheets to order for print. (Approx 30hrs per month)

2. Marketing management – producing real estate reports in Excel and creating local marketing emails for my database. (Approx 15hrs per month)

3. A client and transaction coordinator – Ensuring that all compliance related forms are filled out, collecting the proper information from sellers and buyers and uploading paperwork to my brokerage office. (Approx 5 per month)

4. Booking buyer showings – and organizing showings in an efficient manner, as well as having all the information available for my clients all ready to go. (Approx 5-10hrs monthly)

5. Database Entry and Managing tasks and follow ups for me – Organizing a list of people I should be calling on a daily or weekly basis, so I can stay on top of them. (Approx 5hrs monthly)

6. Eventually 'digging through' my database of old leads and trying to 'extract' business from them, either through marketing emails, follow up emails, text messages or maybe phone calls.

Areas 1-3 is where I'd like for us to start (essentially taking over most of my marketing tasks), and as you become more proficient, adding on another section of my business.

I’m seeking someone who is relatively young, good with computers and technology and is an excellent communicator especially in written English. I expect you to eventually interact with both my clients and my office, so strong command of English and clear written communication is important. I want someone who can discuss/collaborate with me in an open manner. I tend to have a lot of idea’s, and I like to talk them out, so having someone who I can do this would be great. Of course, having someone who can also talk them out with me and execute on them is even better.

I would also like you to be organized, to have an eye for detail, to be okay with some data entry (maybe 4-6 hrs per month), not be intimidated by Microsoft excel or running macro reports, and be willing to learn video and photo editing software.

Nice to haves: if you are creative and have an eye for design, have some experience with marketing and are good with numbers.

You will require your own computer that is capable of running video editing and photo editing software. I currently run my reports using a windows computer through Microsoft excel using macros.

My hope is to find someone that can learn to function and perform the tasks that I require, and be contributing consistently within 1-2 months. I am also seeking someone who is willing to be patient as I find more tasks for them to help me with as you will be my first ever hire and I would like for us to grow together. I may not be able to fill an entire weeks worth of work, but will continue to pay full time to ensure you are focused on training and ‘getting better’ at doing the job.

Your first month of training will likely be focused on learning video editing and running the marketing reports. I will supply you with raw video files of past videos I’ve made, and I would want you to recreate them in the same or similar style. I will also supply you with instructions on how to run the reports. We will run them together, and compare the results to see if they are the same.

I'm looking for a long term hire. Someone who I can trust and work with throughout my real estate career, so if you are not seeking long term employment, then this will not be the right fit.

About me: I've been a realtor for 8 years, I have a young family, I value consistency, and don't like having to continuously 'pivot' my business. The real estate market is quite volatile right now, so things are a bit unpredictable, but I have a marketing system that captures attention, and in many respects is ‘working’. However running it takes a lot of time and my job is really to have more conversations with people, book and fulfill more appointments and get better at the 'sales' portion of my job - which is where intend on spending more of my energy. Culturally I value personal and professional growth and my family.

APPLICANTS: PLEASE SEND OVER A COPY OF YOUR PORTFOLIO OF PREVIOUS WORK. BONUS POINTS IF IT INCLUDES AN INTRO VIDEO.

Thank you,
Jonathan
