There are more virtual assistant websites on the internet than you can count, but not all of them have real value to offer to realtors. If you too are searching for the best virtual real estate assistant for your business, then you should keep in mind a few guidelines in order to ensure that you chose the perfect VA for the job. Here is a short list of qualities and aspects you should check for when interviewing potential virtual assistants:
- The most important thing for you is not how good the VA is, but what exactly they can offer. So the very first thing you need to check for is the specific skill set each virtual assistant has. Many of the best virtual assistant companies are geared towards a particular market – companies such as REVAHQ.com for example, specialize exclusively in real estate.
- Once you ensure that the VA you are looking at is offering the right skills and services for you, the next thing to test is their professionalism. Do they answer phone calls and e-mails in a professional and timely manner? Does the VA treat clients (and you) with the proper respect?
- Afterwards, try and see how good their project management skills are – you’ll be having a lot of work for them and you need to make sure they can handle the tasks properly and efficiently. And while you’re at it, try and estimate their skill with software – and make sure you’re both using the same software to avoid any difficulties in sharing files.
- A great way to assess a virtual real estate assistant’s dedication to the job and their clients is to check what previous work they have done, as well as visit their official website. Anyone who cannot be bothered to pay attention to their own website will most likely not pay attention to whatever task you give them either.
