What To Look For In A Real Estate VA

When the time is right for you to locate a real estate virtual assistant to assist you with your daily administrative needs you need to keep in mind that you are working virtually with your assistant. Therefore, you need to make sure your virtual assistant offers the services you are looking for. Some questions to ask the VA:

  • How long have you been assisting the real estate professional?
  • What is your background?
  • Do you have a website that offers your services?
  • What programs are you familar with?
  • Do you have samples of your work?
  • Do you have references?
  • Do you have an agreement?
  • What are your fees?

By asking these questions you are getting a good feel for what this VA can offer you and these questions will develop conversation to trigger additional questions to build your relationship to see if there is a good fit.

But, remember, you are not the only one interviewing, the VA will interview you as well to see what type of work habits you have, personality fits and if you will be a good client that will provide a direction on where you want this relationship to go and if you are going to be dependable.

Maybe you have some questions about the interviewing process?

The First Steps

The First Steps in finding a VA is to get organized. Yes, organized! You need to know what tasks to delegate to your VA before you go out to find the best one for you.

Some of the top requests real estate professionals seek:

  • Listing Coordination – Have your VA input the listing into the MLS, create virtual tours, create your homebook, place the listing on the Internet.
  • Lead Generation – Your VA can monitor all your leads to make sure they are receiving useful information from you that will help them when the time is right to buy, sell or relocate.
  • Marketing Presentations – Use the creativity of a VA to update your listing presentation, CMA presentation, Home Book, Relocation Guide, etc.

Every real estate professional will have different needs for their VA. What are your specific needs?

Do You Need A VA?

When meeting a real estate professional the first question that is always asked first is….How do I know if I need a VA? I always respond to them by first asking “Do you have an on-site/personal assistant who takes care of your daily adminstrative tasks, listing coordination and transaction coordiniation?” Most of the time they answer no to at least one of the above tasks.

My suggestion is to always take a look at your day to determine how much time you are spending in your office doing tasks that someone can do for you. Make a list of the 3 top items you would like to delegate and then you have answered your own question.

If you are spending more than an hour a day in your office maintaining tasks that do not make you money then, yes, you can benefit from the services of a VA.

You need to free yourself up so that you are out there listing and selling! That is why you are in the real estate business, right?
