How much of your day do you spend chasing paperwork? From clients, lenders, co-brokers, inspectors, termite companies, etc. Is it just me or are people moving slower now than ever before?

It varies,but probably about 25% of our time is spent in paperwork. Not quite enough to get an assistant, but enough to be an irritant...

Good morning Jenna. It would be impossible for me to do that, I have two assistants that handle the paper chasing.

Good Saturday morning Jenna. I really streamlined all of my paperwork. I do almost all of my paper transactions electronically now.

I have one listing agent that takes hours to even respond to an email, other than her business is moving along just fine.

It seems with some vendors I do chase the paperwork and it is not only one call but takes several. Very frustrated.

Jenna, it isn't a certain amount, but there is a lot of follow up needed, and fit it in between appointments, plus the beginning and end of day. Lenders are mostly all waiting until close to closing to finalize a file.
