Role Overview
Our client operates a busy US real estate business where the owner is currently absorbing everything — lead follow-up, transaction coordination, calendar chaos, and daily admin. This role exists to take ownership of those operations so the owner can focus on selling and growing. The Real Estate Executive Assistant will own the inbox, calendar, CRM, and transaction pipeline, using AI tools to work faster and more consistently than a traditional assistant. This is a proactive ownership role, not a task-taker role: the right person anticipates needs, builds and follows systems, and keeps the business running smoothly in the background.
Key Responsibilities
Executive & Administrative Support
Full ownership of the owner's inbox and calendar — triage, drafting, scheduling, and prioritization
Prepare daily briefs and end-of-day summaries using AI tools
Manage documents, reports, and client-facing communications in the owner's voice
Real Estate Operations
Maintain the CRM: lead entry, pipeline hygiene, tagging, and follow-up sequences
Coordinate listing prep: MLS input, photo scheduling, marketing materials, and status updates
Support transaction coordination: track deadlines, chase signatures (DocuSign), and update all parties from contract to close
Lead Management & Client Communication
Execute follow-up on inbound leads within agreed response times
Manage client touchpoints: appointment confirmations, check-ins, and post-close follow-up
Keep communication logs current so nothing depends on the owner's memory
Systems, AI & Reporting
Use Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini daily to draft, research, summarize, and accelerate work
Maintain SOPs for recurring workflows and improve them proactively
Build and update simple dashboards or trackers so the owner sees business status at a glance
Who Will Succeed
This is a fast-moving business with many moving parts and a high standard for follow-through. The person who thrives here is calm under volume, obsessive about details, and genuinely enjoys creating order out of chaos. They don't wait to be told — they see what's coming and handle it.
You take full ownership — when something is yours, it gets done without reminders
You are highly organized and detail-driven; deadlines and small errors never slip past you
You communicate proactively — status updates before anyone has to ask
You are comfortable with US real estate pace: urgency, changing priorities, and client-facing pressure
You use AI tools as a daily habit, not a novelty — and can show exactly how
You think in systems: if you do something twice, you document it and improve it
