Executive Assistant / Director of Ops

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 — EA/admin experience also considered. No experience? It's a long shot, but if you genuinely believe you're a screaming right fit, go ahead and apply.

- 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. If my tone is short sometimes, it's not personal — it's just speed.

- 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 protect your own bandwidth and push back when needed.

- You communicate well and keep me in the loop — especially early on. Check-ins are how we build trust.

- 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. Evenings, occasional weekends, last-minute requests. This is a right-hand position, not a desk job.

What this looks like practically:

- Full-time, In-person 30-90 days, then hybrid

- 90-day trial period

- $54,000/year + bonus structure

- You must be local and available
