Thanks to the world-wide availability of internet access and the plethora of tools available to all those who wish to work remotely, more and more traditional jobs are being reshaped as work-from-home ones – including the classical ‘personal assistant’ position. There is no reason why everything a personal assistant takes care of cannot be done from home – VAs often have multiple clients, offering diverse services and complete tasks remotely via phone, e-mail or high-tech digital tools.
Many businesses and professionals in the real estate world cannot gain the full benefit of having a full-time personal assistant at the office anyway. Due to them having to move around all the time in chase of new deals and offers, they more often than not communicate with their co-workers and assistants via phone or mail, so why should they not hire a virtual real estate assistant instead?
If you’re only now considering whether to hire a virtual executive assistant for the first time, here is a short list of the benefits of doing so:
- You only pay for what you get: You pay your VA for exactly the amount of work hours they put in, and nothing more.
- You don’t need extra office space or supplies: Virtual real estate assistants work from home, using their own personal computers and supplies.
- VAs are considered consultants, not employees: That means no employment benefits or taxes for you to pay.
- Many of the best virtual assistant companies out there offer very specialized services: Companies such as REVAHQ.com focus solely on the real estate industry and related businesses, thus offering a very high quality of service.
A VA with a specialized real estate skill-set can reduce your workload immensely, leaving you time to focus on the most important aspects of your job – talking to clients and closing.
