How Pete, a Realtor, Got 20 Hours of His Week Back—Without Losing Control of His Business

Imagine this: You wake up in the morning, check your calendar, and instead of feeling overwhelmed by back-to-back showings, endless emails, and paperwork—you actually have time.

Time to focus on closing deals. Time to grow your business. Time to finally breathe.

That’s exactly what happened to Pete, a busy Realtor who was once stuck in the cycle of working in his business instead of on it.

The Breaking Point

Like many real estate professionals, Pete started with a vision—helping people find their dream homes and building a thriving business. But as his client list grew, so did the workload. Suddenly, his days were filled with:

🔹 Responding to countless emails and inquiries

🔹 Scheduling property showings and client meetings

🔹 Managing paperwork, contracts, and listings

🔹 Following up with leads but never having enough time

🔹 Posting on social media but struggling with consistency

Every hour spent on these tasks was an hour taken away from networking, closing deals, and actually selling homes. Eventually, he realized: Something had to change.

The Turning Point: Hiring an Executive Virtual Assistant (EVA)

That’s when Pete made the decision that changed everything—he hired an Executive Virtual Assistant (EVA).

At first, he was hesitant. Could someone else really handle all these tasks? Would they understand the fast-paced nature of real estate?

But within weeks, the results spoke for themselves.

His EVA took over inbox management, appointment scheduling, lead follow-ups, and listing updates—allowing Pete to focus on selling instead of being buried in admin work.

The Outcome: More Sales, Less Stress

With an EVA handling the behind-the-scenes work, Pete noticed:

✅ More closed deals—because he had time to nurture serious buyers and sellers

✅ Better client relationships—because he could focus on high-value interactions

✅ Consistent lead follow-ups—resulting in more referrals and repeat business

✅ More time for growth—he finally had time to strategize and scale

The best part? Pete didn’t lose control of his business. In fact, he gained more control by focusing on what actually drives revenue.

Your Turn: What Would You Do with an Extra 20 Hours?

Realtors often believe they have to do it all—but the real secret? Delegation.

So, let me ask you: If you had an extra 20 hours every week, how would you use them? More clients? More sales? More time for yourself?
