Staff on Demand
| Any tasks you do that don't provide your biggest return are tasks that are costing you much more than they would if you hired an expert to do them. The expert can do the same task twice as well and in half the time. If you allow the expert to do the task you are able to earn far more per hour while doing what you truly enjoy most and are best at, while having more free time to spend with your loved ones. |
| Let others handle the details of your business while you concentrate on earning the big bucks by listing, selling, and negotiating. Quit writing ad copy, coordinating transactions, struggling with websites, handling paperwork or anything else that takes you away from what you do and enjoy best.
Our staff on demand is a “team” supporting you in every aspect of the business. It includes licensed-staff members that are there to handle your transactions and marketing, answer your technical questions, provide you with training and even be your mentor, if needed. |

Advantages of Staff on Demand vs. Personal Assitants
Cost
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
| Have no hidden or supplementary costs associated with their work. Since they are independent contractors, there is no "employee wage multiplier". |
According to Human Resource experts, every dollar you spend on wages for an onsite assistant will actually cost you 2-2.5 times more due to benefits, taxes, space, equipment, etc. | Training
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
| Are hired for their specialty hence need little if any training. This means you save time and money because you have a "master" doing your work. |
Often require extensive training because they are hired to do a broad range of tasks. This means they end up becoming a "jack-of-all-trades" and master of none. | Management
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
| Require little if any management because they are only responsible for executing those tasks for which they specialize-which means in most cases they know how to do it better than you! |
Require more management because of the range of duties for which they are responsible increases the chance that something will fall through the cracks. This also means more of your time spent managing and worrying. | Risk
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
| Can never become your competition by the mere fact they are typically located outside your market area. |
Can easily become your competition. In fact the more you train the, the greater the risk of this happening. Also, since they are employees, your liability for their actions increases. | Capability
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
| Tend to be very fast, efficient, and professional since they have a narrower range of focus. Also, since they do work for more than one agent, they tend to get continually "smarter" thanks the many ideas they pick up form all their clients. |
Rarely master anything because they typically are too busy doing a broad range of tasks. | Office Space
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
|
Require no office space, desks, equipment, phones, computers, software-nothing, nada, zip, zero! This means you save a lot of money and hassle. |
Require their own office space, desk, phone, computer, etc. In addition to taking up precious resources, it is expensive and time consuming to support this infrastructure. | Flexibility
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
| Will often work with no minimum hourly requirements and can often be reached during off-business hours. This means everyone (including brand-new agents) can afford to have staff on demand since they can be hired incrementally. |
Will only show up to work for a minimum number of hours per week and typically only work during set hours. This means only highly successful agents can afford to pay for an onsite assistant. | Scalability
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
| Can be hired in minutes (primarily because you don't have to "live" with them in the office) and scaled back at any time with just a phone call - no more agonizing or frustrations during swings in the market. |
Are hard to find (often taking weeks or months) when times are good, and hard to let go when things slow down - especially when you took all that time to train them! | Focus
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
| Are highly focused because they are in their own quiet environment and concentrate only on a narrow range of tasks. This makes them much more effective and efficient which saves you time and money. |
Are easily distracted (and can easily distract you too!) because they are in the office attempting to do too many different tasks - this greatly reduces their output which means they become even more expensive to you. | Attitude
| Staff on Demand |
Personal Assistants |
| Are independent contractors just like you and know what it takes to run a business and that their success is dependent upon yours. As a result, they always know who works for whom. |
Can sometimes adopt an "employee mentality" where they become demanding and you effectively end up working for them! | For more information click here.
