If you run a small or mid-sized real estate business, you have to deal with many administrative tasks like sending emails, answering phone calls, and entering customer data. This is both tedious and time-consuming, and it can detract your attention from more important tasks. One of the best solutions is to hire administrative virtual assistants who can reduce your workload and save your business money.
Why Hire Real Estate Service & Support Virtual Assistants?
When your real estate company grows, you’ll have to hire more employees. However, this can reduce your profit margin because you’ll have to pay your new workers a salary. If you want to attract high-quality employees, you’ll need to offer a good wage and good benefits, such as healthcare and a retirement plan. There might also be unexpected expenses, for example, if one of your employees goes on maternity or paternity leave or becomes ill.
What’s more, you’ll need to hire extra space to accommodate the new workers. You can avoid this financial burden by hiring virtual assistants. These professionals work remotely, and they are either self-employed or they come from an agency. That way, you won’t have to worry about benefits and extra office space. Because many VAs live in lower-cost areas of the world, you can pay them a lower salary without putting their quality of life at risk.
What Does a Real Estate VA Do?
Your real estate virtual assistant can complete a wide range of tasks. They can do simple things like managing your company’s schedule, creating and managing your customer database, and answering emails. If you hire someone with specific industry experience, they can also initiate and answer phone calls, enter data, support your IT team, or complete important paperwork. The assistant will be able to help you with anything that can be done remotely.
Where to Find the Best Administrative Virtual Assistants
Administrative assistants can be found all over the internet. Some businesses look for them on freelancing sites like Upwork and Fiverr, but this is risky because there is no quality control on those platforms. For many companies, hiring a VA through an agency is best because the new employee will have been vetted and educated. At VIVA, we hire Latin American assistants who have a college degree and can speak both English and Spanish fluently.
We also make sure that all our VAs are available during American business hours and that they have been trained at our in-house VIVA Academy. That way, we can guarantee that your new employee will fit your needs and that they will be around when you need them most. This isn’t always the case with Asian-based VAs, who might struggle due to language barriers, cultural barriers, and different time zones.
Hiring a real estate virtual assistant is a good idea for many small or medium-sized businesses. Your VA can complete many tasks, including scheduling appointments, answering emails, answering and initiating phone calls, and administrative tasks.
