How a Commercial Real Estate Broker Delegates to Win Back More Than 10 Hours a Week

katheryne

Katheryne Harris is a high-performing commercial real estate broker specializing in retail and mixed-use properties across the Southeast. With a growing portfolio and a demanding schedule, she found herself overwhelmed by administrative tasks that pulled her away from client-facing activities.

I was spending more time on scheduling, document preparation, and follow-ups than on actual deal-making.

To reclaim her time and focus on high-value tasks, Katheryne partnered with Double and was matched with Sandy, an experienced executive assistant with a background in real estate operations.

The Challenge: Administrative Overload

Katheryne's daily responsibilities included:

  • Coordinating property showings and meetings across multiple time zones

  • Managing a high-volume inbox with client and vendor communications

  • Preparing and organizing lease agreements and marketing materials

  • Tracking deal progress and maintaining CRM updates

These tasks consumed over 15 hours of her week, limiting her ability to engage with clients and close deals.

The Solution: Delegating to Sandy

Upon onboarding, Sandy took immediate steps to streamline Katheryne's operations:

  • Calendar Management: Implemented efficient scheduling systems, reducing double-bookings and ensuring timely follow-ups.

  • Document Preparation: Handled the creation and organization of lease agreements, proposals, and marketing collateral.

  • Communication Oversight: Managed the inbox, prioritized messages, and drafted responses, ensuring prompt communication with clients and vendors.

  • CRM Maintenance: Kept the client database up-to-date, tracking interactions and deal statuses for accurate reporting.

Sandy's proactive approach transformed my workflow. I could finally focus on negotiations and client relationships.

The Impact: Increased Productivity and Client Engagement

With Sandy's support, Katheryne experienced significant improvements:

  • Time Savings: Reclaimed over 10 hours per week, allowing more time for client engagement and strategic planning.

  • Enhanced Client Experience: Faster response times and organized communications led to higher client satisfaction.

  • Improved Deal Flow: Streamlined processes accelerated deal closures and increased revenue.

Partnering with Sandy has been a game-changer. Her expertise and initiative have elevated my business operations. Our industry isn't easy and having someone who just gets it is priceless.
