Who I am:
I'm Patrick Laurienti — a top-producing real estate agent closing $550K+ in GCI and building toward a 7-figure business. I move fast. My mind runs fast. I'm highly logical, direct, and obsessed with getting better — and I want someone on my team who shares that same drive.
I'm making my first EA hire, and this isn't a "sit at a desk and answer phones" role. This is a high-trust, high-autonomy position for someone who wants to be the engine behind a fast-moving operator. You won't just support me — you'll protect me, anticipate me, and at times push back on me when my plate is overflowing.
My dad always said: don't sit around waiting to be told what to do — think about what's needed next and be ready. That's the standard I hold myself to, and it's the standard I need from you.
What you'll own:
-
Inbox management
— I want to never have to open my email if I don't have to. You own it.
-
Calls & texts
— Fielding and responding to clients and agents on my behalf
-
Calendar protection
— You guard my time like it's yours
-
Listing coordination
— Inputting listings to MLS, coordinating photos and staging, collecting showing feedback, and keeping sellers in the loop so I don't have to
-
Contract-to-close management
— Once we're under contract, you're the point person. Track key dates, coordinate with title, lenders, and vendors, manage paperwork, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks
-
Home analysis & contract writing
— Supporting the deal side of the business
-
All the misc. tasks
— The 3-minute, 10-minute, 20-minute things that quietly eat my day. You handle them so I don't.
The goal is simple: 80% of my time goes to the 20% of activities that actually drive revenue. Everything else runs through you.
Who you are:
-
You have
real estate experience
in some capacity — you know the pace, the vocabulary, the stakes. EA/admin experience is also considered.
-
You are an
ops person at heart
— you're not here to run the show, and you don't want to. You want to be the right hand to the person who does.
-
You are
genuinely warm and service-oriented
— clients and agents aren't interruptions. They're the whole point. Every time you answer the phone, respond to a message, or interact with someone on my behalf, you're representing me.
-
You are
obsessively detail-oriented
— missing things is not an option.
-
You are a
self-starter
— I'll teach you everything I can, covering probably 80% of what you need. The other 20% you figure out on your own.
-
You are
comfortable with directness
— I don't want to have to dance around feedback or sugarcoat things.
-
You are
proactive, not reactive
— You're already thinking about what I need next before I ask.
-
You can
manage up
— If I throw 10 things at you and the realistic answer is 6, you tell me that.
-
You communicate well and keep me in the loop — especially early on.
-
You are
adaptable
— This role will evolve. Change doesn't throw you off — it energizes you.
-
You have
real-world flexibility
— Real estate doesn't work 9–5, and neither does this role.
What this looks like practically:
-
Full-time
position from day one
-
In-person for the first 30–90 days
— this is non-negotiable. We build trust face-to-face.
-
Hybrid (work from home + in-person)
once you've earned that flexibility
-
90-day trial period
— this protects both of us.
-
$54,000/year base salary + bonus
— with realistic upside of $75K+ in year one
-
You must be
local
and available

One last thing: if you read this post and thought "that sounds intense" — this probably isn't the role for you, and that's okay. If you read it and thought "that sounds exactly like the kind of person I want to work for" — we should talk.
