Benefits of Hiring a Real Estate Virtual Assistant

Real estate is a challenging industry. A lot of hard work is involved to make your business grow. Relying on a real estate virtual assistant, you can increase your productivity and boost your business. Have you ever heard the phrase “if you don’t have an assistant, you are the assistant”? If you have to do everything yourself, including tasks that don’t represent an income, you are your own assistant.

Let’s say you want to make $100,000 in the year, if you work 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, taking two weeks off for holidays, that’s 2,000 hours over the year, $100,000 divided by 2000 hours is $50 an hour. Do you think you could hire someone for less than $50 an hour to do all those things you don’t want to do? Of course, you can!

Hiring a Real Estate Virtual Assistant

Let’s analyze the details of hiring a regular assistant to work for you close to you:  1. The price can vary between $20 and $30 an hour. 2. You must have a physical space or provide the necessary equipment. Most realtors, especially in their early days, cannot afford this or meet the needs of having an assistant working for them. 

With a virtual assistant, you can have the support you need every day for less money. You don’t need to invest in a workstation because a real estate virtual assistant is equipped to cover the tasks you need. Hiring a real estate virtual assistant gives you control and the time to focus on growing your business.

Administrative Tasks: The Essentials of a Real Estate Virtual Assistant

Marketing and Online Presence

Your virtual assistant can help you manage your image on social networks. They can develop marketing strategies that will keep you in touch with customers and attract more people to your business. It is very important to consider your online reputation because although word of mouth is still important, online presence is crucial in today’s world. 

VAs can take care of all the tasks that are required to maintain a high profile on social networks. Such as listening to your audience, interacting with your customers, and helping you build a network of followers who will feel confident to turn to you when they need you or make recommendations that will help you to grow your business.

Communication is Key With Your Real Estate Virtual Assistant

As a realtor, you are always going to be in contact with a group of people. Lawyers, brokers, clients, prospects, and inspectors, among others, if making those calls is depriving you of getting actual work done, consider the help of a VA your best option.

Now, here it’s important to mention two main aspects to keep in mind when you hire a virtual assistant: 

1. It is well known that in the Philippines and India you can get efficient and bilingual virtual assistants, however, they live in countries with different time zones; which makes it difficult for them to help you maintain good communication with your entire business circle. 
2.  Spanish is the 4th most spoken language in the world according to Statista, so you are more likely to find yourself in need of a bilingual and native Spanish speaker. If you find language being a barrier with your Spanish-speaking clients, a Latino VA will erase that problem. Meaning, you can work with anyone. 

Significant Decrease in Workload

With a virtual assistant, you can focus more time on growing your real estate business. You chose this business model so that your quality of life would improve significantly.
