My New Assistant is on Board and The Team Is Forming

Donna will be the energy to help drive the new team I am forming.  She will be my assistant and transaction manager for the team.

Donna comes with a unique background.  She is an archeologist whose specialty is ancient Hawaiian burial sites.  She is excited about learning the real estate business and will keep all of us on our toes.  With her on the job, I know our files and records will be kept to the tightest standards.

Donna will be working with me tomorrow.  She has a good friend we will be showing property to in the morning then in the afternoon we will be holding an Open House at one of my premium listings.

Welcome Aboard Donna. 

She has already hit the ground running.

WooHoo for Donna!:  After sitting down and talking with her last week it prompted me to write about the laws regarding burial site/ceremonial sites.  She will be an asset to the company and I sure got interested! She is so young and has a head full of knowledge!

Randy - Donna will surely be an asset! I love archeology. That is until I found out you had to sit under the sun and dig for hours! I think I'll just read about it! Donna will no doubt help you leverage your time! 

Now, all of this will work unless you get her addicted to Active Rain! 

Posted by Linda Scanlan (A Fan of AR) over 3 years ago

Linda - It was the folks on Active Rain that helped me decide to start the team. :)

Randy, congratulations to you and Donna! I'd love to sit and talk with her about her pre RE life, I bet that was facinating!
Posted by Lysa Napolitano, Call Coordinator ~ Century 21 Sundance (Century 21 Sundance) over 3 years ago
She is still an archaeologist.  She will be part time with me in the beginning.
Posted by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes) over 3 years ago
Congratulations on the new assisstant! This means you are really growing a profitable business. I read in MREA that this is the first important hire as you start building a successful team.

---and she can help when the time comes to sell off some burial grounds to a developer a la Poltergiest...
Posted by Jeff Geoghan MBA, Green - Lancaster PA Real Estate Expert (The Jeff Geoghan Realty Group, Coldwell Banker Lancaster PA) over 3 years ago

Stephen - I am quite excited about her joining to help build the team.

Jeff - We will be sure to comply with all area ordinances.  I bet I will have one of thefew teams with an on staff archeology expert.

Posted by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes) over 3 years ago

Randy,

Congratulations. Sounds like Donna will be a fit for your team. An archeologist who specializes in Hawaii? We have folks like that in New Jersey but they wear hats that read "FBI" and "State Police" and no one wants to know what they dig for!

Andrew - We have a lot of burial sites on the island that pop up unannounced during construction.  There is a bi9g demand for her kind of work.  Hopefully an even bigger demand for selling homes.
Posted by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes) over 3 years ago

Congratulations on hiring your assistant.  Be sure to set clear expectations, moniter progress, and reward her for doing thing s right.  As and educated person, you'll want to listen to her insights as she gains experience.

Good luck to you and your new team!

That would make for an interested advertising bit, Randy.  A competitive edge with the locals?
Posted by Jeff Geoghan MBA, Green - Lancaster PA Real Estate Expert (The Jeff Geoghan Realty Group, Coldwell Banker Lancaster PA) over 3 years ago

Jay - I will be learning as I go.  She is definitely an educated person and I expect her to help me take the business to the next level.

Jeff - I am not sure how to make use of that.  I will have to think that out.
