What Unlicensed Real Estate Virtual Assistants Can Do In Nevada

Nevada Real Estate DivisionReal estate is big business in Nevada, especially in the rapidly-growing Clark County area that houses Las Vegas, the “Entertainment Capital of the World”. The city itself has seen steadily increasing growth for years and shows no sign of stopping, giving real estate agents a healthy business in the area.

Key to maintaining a well-organized and effective business is the use of virtual assistant companies. These are unlicensed personal assistant services that are hosted entirely through an Internet platform, reducing clutter in the real estate agent’s offices while making their virtual assistance available through an Internet connection, anywhere.

Rules And Regulations Regarding Unlicensed Assistants

While most of the critical real estate tasks that an agent needs to carry out in order to do business require an active license, many administrative tasks can be taken care of by an unlicensed assistant. These include:

  • Answering telephone calls on behalf of the licensee and making appointments;
  • Transmitting listings and editing listings on a multiple listing service (MLS);
  • Drafting listing documents under the supervision of the licensee;
  • Having keys made for properties and delivering those keys on behalf of the licensee;
  • Researching and securing documents that are publicly available for use by the licensee and the firm of which they are a part;
  • Monitoring personnel files and licenses;
  • Witnessing signatures;
  • Scheduling routine inspections and performing maintenance services on listed properties;
  • Accepting rental payments and issuing receipts at the licensee’s place of business;

All of these activities fall under administrative tasks that, when multiplied over many high profile listings, can take precious time away from the important tasks that an agent must take care of. These tasks, that unlicensed assistants may not be involved in, include:

  • Negotiating contract terms with clients.
  • Providing advice to clients about contractual terms or property listings.
  • Answering any questions about listings.
