What does a real estate VA do? Transaction coordination, cold calling, listings, CRM and scheduling for agents, teams and brokerages.
How much does it cost? Starting at $7/hour all-in, with no placement fees.
Should a real estate virtual assistant be full-time or part-time? Most real estate teams in our data hired for full coverage. Of 32 real estate searches US companies opened with Virtustant that stated a schedule, 22 were full-time. Tenants call, buyers call and deadlines land during business hours, so a full-time seat in your time zone is the usual choice. Part-time fits marketing or database work that can wait a day.
What should we agree before the assistant starts? Agree which listing and transaction tasks require broker review, and who approves client communications.
What does a week look like for a real estate virtual assistant? An example for a full-time assistant at a small brokerage: Monday, log weekend leads in the CRM and confirm the week's showings. Tuesday to Thursday, follow up with leads, track contract deadlines and disclosures, and enter new listings in the MLS. Friday, send status updates to buyers and sellers in active transactions and ask closed clients for reviews. Licensed activity, pricing and negotiation stay with the agent.
Can a real estate virtual assistant make cold calls? Yes. Lead generation, cold calling and sales made up 8 of the 43 real estate searches in our data. Calls and texts must follow TCPA and Do-Not-Call rules, so approve the scripts and the lists on your side before the first call.
What does a real estate virtual assistant do in your CRM, the MLS and DocuSign? In the CRM (Follow Up Boss, kvCORE or LionDesk), they log leads, run drip campaigns and keep contact data clean. In the MLS, they enter and update listing data. In DocuSign, they prepare documents for your review and follow up on missing signatures before deadlines.
