Once a real estate agent starts working with several buyers and sellers, their list of tasks become almost endless. At that point, they might consider hiring administrative virtual assistants to help them complete some of the more tedious tasks. At VIVA, you can hire a general assistant, or you can choose a real estate transaction coordinator who has specific industry experience.
Why Do You Need a Real Estate Transaction Coordinator?
Every real estate transaction includes a wide variety of tasks: preparing and listing the home, showing the home, speaking to clients, writing offers, negotiating, coordinating inspectors, coordinating lenders, and communicating with the title company. If you have many interested buyers and sellers, you need help to manage all this. One of the best people to turn to is a real estate transaction coordinator who has specific knowledge of the sales process.
This type of assistant can’t just complete basic tasks: they can also do real estate-specific work. For example, they might create listings for you, open escrow, coordinate property inspections, ensure contractual compliance, coordinate the closing process, and more. Once the transaction is complete, your coordinator might schedule after-close follow-ups and ask for reviews and testimonials.
What Else Can Administrative Virtual Assistants Do?
As you can see, a real estate transaction coordinator can act as your right hand and help you organize the entire sales process. If this sounds like the person you need, you should get in touch with a VA agency like VIVA and ask for a real estate-specific employee. Since all our VAs are college educated, we will be able to help you find someone with the right kind of knowledge and experience.
If you don’t yet have a full-time position available, we can also offer you part-time assistants, or you can ask your real estate transaction coordinator to also take on multiple tasks. Their job might include keeping track of your company’s schedule, answering emails and phone calls, managing your databases, and assisting your IT department.
Where to Find the Best VAs
An agency is the best place to find high-quality VAs because they will be vetted and trained. Here at VIVA, we only employ people who have a good command of English, are able to commit to working during American business hours, have enjoyed a good education, and have gone through our in-house VIVA Academy.
While we are happy to accept novice VAs, we also employ more experienced or specialized people, so you can easily find the best person for your job. We can provide you with part-time or full-time assistance, so there is something for almost every budget. Because our VAs live in low-cost-of-living areas, they are able to live well on lower salaries than American workers.
For busy real estate businesses, a transaction coordinator can be a lifesaver because they can not only perform general tasks but can also assist with the sale of properties. Employing a virtual assistant is often best because this professional costs up to 60% less than a local assistant. Get in touch with us at VIVA to discuss your needs and find the perfect coordinator for your real estate business.
