How to grow my business when I'm already maxed out on time?
I've been a realtor here in the Houston area for going on 7 years. I do okay. Steady listings, repeat clients, decent referrals. Problem is every time I try to actually grow, I run face first into the same wall, which is that I'm already working 60 hours a week just to maintain what I have.
Marketing falls behind. CRM is a mess. I'm responding to leads at 11pm because I was showing houses all day. My husband says I'm a workaholic and honestly he's not wrong.
I know the answer is probably get help. But hiring a full agent assistant in Texas is expensive, and I'm not sure I'd give them enough work to justify it full time. Has anyone here in real estate or any client based business figured out a way to grow without burning yourself into the ground?
Open to anything. Books, frameworks, systems, hiring strategies. Just need to hear what worked for someone.
