7 Ways a Real Estate Agent Can Become More Productive by Making Use of a Virtual Assistant

Most successful Real Estate Agents know that creating systems for every process in their businesses allows them to be more effective and efficient at delivering the necessary solutions that their clients desire. Systems once created free up time for you to concentrate on income producing tasks; hence the need for you to hire a Virtual Assistant (VA) to help simplify your life.

Here are 7 ways a VA can help with your daily time consuming tasks:

Administrative work
VAs will assist you in your day-to-day administrative tasks such as sending faxes, setting up and confirming appointments and much more. Once a system is created to handle an administrative task, it can then be handed over to the VA.

Telemarketing
Most agents dread making cold calls to leads; you can have your VA use specific scripts and make the initial calls. You can then take over the conversation with leads once they have been converted to warm prospects.

Internet marketing
VAs are able to perform several internet marketing tasks such as; posting to your real estate blogs, maintaining your online social media profiles, creating viral videos, writing articles and so on.

Database Management
VAs can maintain lead data and help store the information in a database. They can search the data, run custom queries on them and easily provide you with the reports on the data when needed.

Bookkeeping
VAs can help prepare records of your financial transactions, check the accuracy of figures and calculations. They can also do preliminary audits of your books before handing them over to your accountant.

Marketing Analysis on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)
VAs can conduct preliminary marketing research on the MLS by helping you prepare Comparable Market Analysis (CMAs) which you can then give to your clients and/or customers.

Marketing Campaigns
VAs can help you set up marketing campaigns to sell the listings you have such as; creating and mailing flyers, set up Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems to give property specific information to prospective buyers and sellers, prepare the necessary information and pictures for properties you plan on listing on the MLS and much more.

In summary the possibilities are endless. A Virtual Assistant can help a Real Estate Agent become more efficient and effective overall. All you need to do is spend the time creating a system and then hand it over to them to execute the task.
