Running a successful real estate company can be hectic, mainly if you already handle too much responsibility. While we previously mentioned that real estate virtual assistants could give you more free time, you must remember to set clear expectations before hiring your trusty team. 

That way, you can quickly review deliverables and ensure your real estate virtual assistants deliver high-quality assignments. Next, assess the key bottlenecks and specify the tasks you want them to accomplish. After that, you can compose a clear job description to give them an idea of working for your company. 

It’s also best to observe the best legal practices to save your company from legal trouble and ensure the contractor knows what to do. 

Here are four things to carefully consider when finding your team of real estate virtual assistants. 

1. Scope of Work

Scope of work is a list of responsibilities your real estate virtual assistant will handle, such as providing administrative support or handling customer service. 

Like other businesses, you must remember that the outcomes are crucial when hiring professionals. 

And for this reason, we urge you to carefully consider which areas need the most assistance and how much work can keep your real estate virtual assistant busy. You may also track your time for a few weeks or months to help you identify when you’re most productive and which tasks take up most of your time. 

Having a clear list of responsibilities can ensure you hire the right people for your team to efficiently and quickly accomplish time-consuming tasks. 

2. Level of Experience

Like other successful businesses, you must find the real estate virtual assistant with the right educational background, credentials, and experience level for your company’s needs to ensure they efficiently accomplish your assignments. Fortunately, several VA service providers can quickly help you find the right people for the team. 

Different agents hire professionals with varying experience levels; some may recommend hiring a jack-of-all-trades to handle your tasks, while others want to find experts to take on more specific and complex tasks. 

Suppose it’s your first time outsourcing your workforce. In that case, hire a real estate virtual assistant who can communicate effectively, are willing to handle all your listed outcomes, and is comfortable with your set expectations. We recommend putting them on probation with project-based agreements before fixing set hours per month.

On the other hand, if you’re a well-established company, hiring expert real estate virtual assistants to help you grow your business quicker because they can handle all the stressful tasks works best. 

3. Overseas or Local Employees

It’s your company, and you have every right to choose whether to hire local or overseas professionals.

There are talented real estate virtual assistants worldwide who are knowledgeable in running a business and willing to deliver high-quality work across different time zones. That way, you don’t need to settle for whoever’s available in your local market. 

While overseas workers deliver promising results, you must still make room for local talent because they can better understand your market’s nuances. Local real estate virtual assistants also work best if you need full-time employees to handle in-person projects, such as fieldwork and open houses. 

4. Work Quality

Whether you’ll hire a part-time or full-time real estate virtual assistant, you must always consider their work quality to help determine if you should promote your worker into a full-time professional. 

You wouldn’t want to waste your priceless resources on unused hours or fumble around looking for tasks for your employee.

Conclusion

It’s no secret that real estate virtual assistants can help reduce your stressful workload. However, you must carefully consider a few factors to ensure quick and efficient business operations.

VASupportNow has a team of competent real estate virtual assistants to help grow and scale your business. Visit our website to book your free discovery call today!
