5 Real Estate Tasks Made Easy Through a VA

Being in the real estate business is not as glamorous as people think. Beyond the tailored suits and Bluetooth headsets, agents and brokers struggle with menial and time-consuming tasks. 

To deal with such a hectic workload, many of these professionals choose to work with freelancers or outsourcing companies that specialize in real estate virtual assistant services.

Sure enough, hiring a virtual assistant would benefit your real estate business by reducing the amount of time you spend on repetitive tasks, enhancing your productivity, and maximizing your bottom line. 

Here’s a list of the tasks a virtual assistant can help ease up:

 

As a real estate professional, answering emails and setting reminders for home visits are part of your daily routine. Then again, the hours you spend on these tasks should go towards more important activities like meeting new clients or closing deals.  

With a virtual assistant, you can get those hours back by having a remote staff member work with your in-house team. A skilled virtual assistant can help answer emails, analyze local markets, set appointments, and manage your databases while your in-house team focuses on more crucial activities.

 

If you’re selling a residential or commercial property, market exposure has to be the most important part of the process. Creating attractive ads for social media as well as other platforms such as Craigslist and Redfin will help you attract interested buyers.

To assist you with the creative side of promoting your clients’ properties, a virtual assistant can design infographics, brochures, banner ads, newsletters, and other forms of marketing. This will ensure that your listings will get noticed by interested buyers. 

 

In selling a home, it’s important to advise your clients on the best selling price for their homes. A comparative market analysis is required. But it takes time to locate similar properties, check for details that help determine ideal prices and create a CMA report from scratch. 

Real estate virtual assistants who are adept in handling CMAs can save you time by reviewing tax reports, checking the location of a property, and determining the best comparables within a single area. With a completed CMA report, you can then move on to the next phase of the selling process. 

 

Setting up appointments is a task that eats up too much time. You will have to make adjustments just to accommodate everybody in your already hectic schedule. Sure enough, this is one problem an experienced virtual assistant can help solve.

Whether or not you use apps for scheduling appointments, a real estate virtual assistant will make sure to keep your schedule in order and prevent overlaps and delays. 

 

Part of a virtual assistant’s job is to generate leads and make sure your real estate business doesn’t run out of new clients. 

Lead generation can take the form of cold calls where your virtual assistants can qualify and convert prospects who might be interested in your real estate business. They can also build a database to keep track of and nurture high-quality leads.

A background in telemarketing and customer service is needed along these lines, so it’s important to look for real estate virtual assistant services offering contact center solutions for your real estate business.

To sum up, virtual assistants can do more than handle basic office tasks such as making phone calls or writing emails. They can also assist you in easing your workload and breaking new ground for your real estate business to expand.
