General office duties

• Keep DR updated with all communication with clients to maintain continuity of communication between client, Operations Manager and DR.

Manage Incoming Calls

Answer the phone with a friendly and upbeat attitude and show a caring attitude to everyone who comes in contact with our team and company.

• Maintain communication logs and place into folders

Be able to prioritize incoming calls and know how to handle different types of calls.

• Priority requests. These calls demand DR’s immediate attention. This category might include repeat clients and buyers interested in high-priced properties. The Operations Manager will forward these requests directly to DR and answer them as soon as possible, preferably within the hour.
• Personal response. This type of call also requires a direct response but is not as time critical. This might include potential customers who want to make an appointment or who have in-depth questions about the home selling process. Everyone who requests a personal response should receive one. The DR should, however, respond to these messages as quickly as time permits, by the close of business the same day, if possible. If for some reason the DR cannot call back, the Operations Manager can call back and cover for DR until the DR can make the call.
• Informational response. The Operations Manager can handle this type of call, which typically includes basic questions about DR’ services, general information about the team, and requests for a basic listing sheet (if licensed) and brochure about a property.
