Position Summary
Midwest Realty of Minnesota is looking for a personable, dependable part-time assistant whose primary responsibility will be following up with prospective clients and scheduling appointments with the broker.
This is a good fit for someone who is naturally comfortable talking with people, enjoys building rapport over the phone, is organized with follow-up, and is looking for a stable, long-term part-time position.
Primary Responsibilities
· Call prospective clients who have inquired through our websites and online marketing.
· Follow up consistently with leads who may not respond on the first attempt.
· Schedule phone, virtual, and in-person appointments with the broker.
· Maintain accurate notes, tasks, and follow-up activity in our CRM.
· Confirm appointments and provide basic scheduling/administrative communication.
· Occasionally accompany the broker to client meetings to assist with introductions, hospitality, note-taking, and coordination.
· Occasionally assist with open houses or other client-facing activities.
· Provide limited additional administrative/executive support as needed.
This is not traditional cold calling. Most calls will be to people who have already interacted with our real estate websites, requested information, or otherwise generated an inquiry.
What We're Looking For
· Warm, friendly, and comfortable initiating conversations with people they don't know.
· Comfortable making outbound phone calls as a primary part of the position.
· Professional enough to interact directly with real estate clients.
· Reliable and consistent with follow-up.
· Organized and comfortable working with CRM/software systems.
· Able to work independently from home.
· Located in the Twin Cities area and available for occasional in-person work in the South Metro.
· Interested in a stable, long-term part-time position.
Previous experience in real estate, mortgage, title, customer service, inside sales, executive assistance, or a similar client-facing position is helpful but not required.
A Minnesota real estate license is also not required.
Schedule
Approximately 10–15 hours per week initially. Most work can be performed remotely, although some availability during normal business hours and occasional in-person availability will be required.
There is some flexibility in scheduling, but consistency in completing lead follow-up is important.
Compensation
$24–$28 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications.
Long-Term Opportunity
The primary responsibility for the foreseeable future will remain prospective-client follow-up and appointment setting.
For the right person, however, there may eventually be opportunities to assume broader executive-assistant, office-management, and staff-coordination responsibilities as the company grows.
We are specifically interested in finding someone who would like to become a long-term part of the business, rather than someone simply looking for a short-term position or a pathway into commissioned real estate sales.
Pay: $24.00 - $28.00 per hour
Benefits:
Application Question(s):
