Question: What Functions Can My Real Estate Assistant Legally Perform?
Answer: Real estate assistants are a logical step in growing a real estate practice. A busy agent or broker can funnel duties to an assistant that take away from the agent's work with clients and business development.

It is very important that one has a thorough knowledge of the state regulations concerning the allowed duties for licensed and unlicensed real estate assistants. An unlicensed assistant can perform a great many helpful tasks. Though usually a more expensive hire, you'll get more functionality with a licensed assistant.
