3 Top Reasons to Hire a Real Estate Virtual Assistant

For many business people who have not yet worked with a real estate virtual assistant, the term may seem odd and even strange to them. Most of the people are unsure how it all works and how can a person living miles apart and working from a remote place can be of any help to a business. Well, the system is very simple and the virtual assistant can be one of the best employees, colleague you can get to work with. You can learn a lot from him than you would ever have learnt from a person working right next to you on a daily basis.

The virtual assistant can handle the smallest administrative tasks of your real estate business such as responding to emails, updating the data on excel or any other software you might be using to the biggest tasks also such as running your email campaign, managing your website, handle accounts, search engine optimization and also internet marketing. There is nothing a virtual assistant can’t do that a normal assistant can do except come to your office. Since he works from a remote place, why would you ask him to come to your office? And this is one main reason why you have chosen to work with him because when he does not come to your office, you get to save on a lot of things. Here are some areas where you save massively with a VA.

  • Office space: renting a bigger office can increase your expenses a lot, or they can even double them. With a bigger office you need to pay more rent. And when you hire an assistant, you need to provide him a working space and thus you’ll need a bigger office.
  • Furniture & equipment: if you think a table and a chair is all you need to place your assistant, think again, you’ll be needing more than that because you also will have to provide him a PC or a laptop to work on. We all know that a PC or a laptop doesn’t cost cheap and you’ll be draining a lot of money on these items.
  • Lighting: how much do you spend on the electricity bill now? You and only one or two other people are in the office and you can easily do with a small consumption of electricity. The other people are your customers who are present for a short time. But when you hire an assistant too, you’ll need permanent lighting for the entire day and this is only one thing we are discussing about. And with a real estate virtual assistant, you get exempted from all such hassles.
