Your assistant should bring a clear picture of what moved forward this week, what needs attention and what you need to decide before next week begins.
For a real estate agent, that means looking across leads, listings, marketing and client commitments, then pulling out the few things worth discussing.
The review should help you answer a simple question: where should we focus next?
Bring the context behind the numbers
Start with what you’re working toward.
If your goal is to grow the listing side of your business, your assistant can prepare the number of listing appointments booked, how many actually took place and what happened afterward.
Where did those conversations come from? Which follow-ups are moving forward? Are the next steps recorded?
Marketing deserves the same attention. Alongside what was published, look at the inquiries and conversations it prompted, where you can trace them.
Agree on the reporting period and what each number means. An appointment booked for next month belongs in a different conversation from one you held this week.
That context gives you something useful to discuss: where to keep investing effort and what needs a closer look.
Bring recommendations with the update
As your assistant gets to know the business, encourage them to bring their thinking into the review.
For example, if two listing launches fall in the same week, they could map the deadlines, confirm vendor availability and suggest how to sequence the preparation.
You can then discuss the priorities or budget decisions that need your involvement, with the relevant details already organized.
The same applies to improvements. If gathering listing information keeps taking longer than expected, your assistant could suggest a shared property brief and help you build it.
This is a chance to develop their judgment. Talk through why you’d choose one approach over another, then agree on what they can handle independently next time.
Use AI to help with the preparation
With an approved tool and information you’re allowed to share, AI can help organize weekly notes into a first draft and suggest questions worth exploring.
Your assistant still needs to check the figures, dates and original records before bringing the summary to you.
Say the report shows fewer appointments. Before deciding something isn’t working, check whether meetings were rescheduled, records are missing or you’re comparing different periods.
AI can help surface a question. You and your assistant work through what the information actually tells you.
Leave with a clear plan for next week
Finish by agreeing on a few priorities, who owns each one and when it needs to happen.
That might mean preparing two upcoming listing appointments, completing a client update or testing a better way to collect marketing materials.
Keep those decisions in the same place you manage the work, and return to them at the next review.
Over time, this gives you and your assistant a shared understanding of the business: what matters, what’s changing and how their support can develop.
