When Agents Need Backup: The Story Behind Agents Butler and How It Saves Deals
Manage episode 487276828 series 2877156
Ever dream of taking a vacation without your real estate business grinding to a halt? What if you could be sipping cocktails on a cruise ship while someone handles your $1.5 million listing back home? That's exactly what David Mayhew's Agents Butler service makes possible.
The eternal challenge of work-life balance in real estate takes center stage in this revealing conversation with David Mayhew, founder of Agents Butler and broker trainer at Charles Ruttenberg Realty. A military veteran who entered real estate in 2021, Mayhew identified a critical need during the pandemic market frenzy: agents desperately needed reliable, licensed backup to maintain their business during absences.
Agents Butler functions as your licensed assistant, handling everything from basic property access ($50 per door) to MLS entries ($150) and even full transaction management through reverse referrals. The beauty lies in its simplicity – agents maintain their commission structure while gaining freedom to step away when needed. Mayhew shares powerful success stories, including agents who've maintained thriving businesses during family medical emergencies and personal crises.
The conversation explores how the service works legally (operating as an LLC that invoices agents directly), coverage areas (extending to Orlando, Sarasota, and Ocala), and the range of services available – from video walkthroughs to inspection attendance with detailed reporting. For agents seeking that elusive work-life balance or those facing unexpected life challenges, Agents Butler represents a practical solution that answers the age-old question: who watches your listings while you're away?
Ready to finally take that vacation without sacrificing your business? Reach David at 352-667-4269 and discover how Agents Butler can transform your approach to real estate and personal time.
