Starting a new job...
I currently work front desk at a residential realtor; I just got a new job at a commercial realtor doing their marketing / administrative work. Does anyone have any tips to help me out? If your a realtor what do u like to see from your office staff? What are some things I need to know?

Depending on the property type, getting familiar with what goes into their marketing brochures, and who their clients are would help a bit. \nI would see if they mostly do sales / leases, see what markets they work in and who they compete against. Just learning the business puts you heads and shoulders against the temps we would usually hire.\n\nIf it is industrial, you will have an easy time. Learning industrial buildings is pretty easy. Office is harder, since there is more fluff in the marketing packages. Retail and multi-family are the worst and you will be doing a lot more work. \n\nLearning Costar, title programs and demographic programs would also be a benefit and would allow you to take job transferable skills to another company. \n\nGetting your real estate license would also be great, and you would learn a lot about real estate getting it.
