Owen: 7 ways a Real Estate Agent can become more Productive by making use of a Virtual Assistant. Most successful real estate agents know that just by creating a system that they use for every process in their business, this allows them to become more efficient and effective and allows them in terms to deliver the result that the client desire. The reality is that once you create a system it frees time for you so that you can concentrate on the income producing tasks in your business. Hence, you need to hire a virtual assistant to helps simplify your life. Here are seven ways in which a virtual assistant can take over the daily time consuming tasks, they have to handle as real estate agents.

First of all, administrative work, the virtual assistants can assist you in your day to day administrative tasks such as sending faxes, setting up and confirming appointments and much more. So you have to spend time and figure out; from nine to five what do you do that is in itself an administrative task and how can you systemize it and hand it over to your VA so that your virtual assistant can take over and handle it for you.

Virtual assistants can also handle your telemarketing. Some people dread actually getting on the phone and talking to a code contact, a cold lead. Basically, maybe you have a lead who you’re not spoken to or don’t even know if they might be interested in your business or you want just prospects or you just wanna do with prospect and some people might just be scared to do that, so if you are one of those agent who don’t want to make cold calls to your leads, you can actually have your VA assuming you’ve created a script of things that they should say and asks the cold lead and they can principally do the first few phone calls for you and at the point where the point contact has been turned into a warmed lead you can actually take over the conversation from this so that you don’t have to deal with all the objections and all that, now you only deal with one prospect.

Virtual assistant can handle your internet marketing just by the main fact that they are virtual, they work from you from the long distances, sometimes abroad and everything they do is by means of technology over the internet. You might just be lucky that you have a VA that really understands the internet marketing and you can probably use them for posting to your real estate blogs and maintain your online social media profiles, creating viral videos and writing articles and so on. And the reality also is that you can actually train people do this stuffs so again it’s all about creating system and applying someone behind it.

Virtual assistant can help you with your database managing, they can help you maintain the data that you stored up in your database and anytime you need them to run a custom query and they provide you with a specific kind of report so that you can provide your client. A virtual assistant can help you with that.

Virtual assistants can also help you with bookkeeping. They can help you prepare the record of your financial transactions and check the accuracies of the figures and calculations. You can also use them to do a preliminary audit of your books so that before you hand your paper work over to your accountant they have all the materials prepared in the way that the accountant has instructed that they wanna se it. So you don’t have to actually deal with this. Just have your accountant possibly speak with your VA, the accountant tells the VA how he wants to see the monthly statements and all that, the VA does that for you. You don’t have to deal that or deal with that anymore. So hence you just focus on the stuff, the income generating activity of your business and you’re not putting down on numbers that maybe taking you more time. Anyways, that’s the choice that you have to make to do that on act.

Virtual assistants can help you with basically doing marketing and analysis on the multiple listing service. By this, I mean virtual assistant can be trained to help you do a comparable market analysis in terms of CMA’s to your clients. All you have to do is like I said, again is create a system. If the different input you put into the MLS to generate a CMA, train the VA on how to do it and all you have to do once it’s been created by the VMA is to perform quality assurance to make sure that it is accurate and displayed and presented in a way it should be and then you can hand that off to your client or to your customers. That saves you time and you don’t have to spend time doing it, like I said one of the time consuming task with. Your VA’s can do it for you once you have it the process systemize.

Your VA’s can also handle your marketing campaign. Your VA’s can handle marketing sense of they can help you sell your listings through creating and mailing out flyers, setting up Interactive Voice Response Systems. Interactive IVR are when you have like a phone system in which you can put in details about the property and it helps to give the buyers and prospective sellers information about your service and all that. and also tracks the information for you so when you have a new listings sometimes it may take sometimes to set up the whole IVR system so if you put out the process in a way which the VA is to create a system and the VA can handle that system, every time you have a new listing or you have met a new IVR message, the VA can do that by themselves because you have created a system around that process.

VAs’ can also help you with putting up information like pictures and details about the property that you have listed on the MLS. Every time you have a new listing you might have to spend time maybe thirty minutes to one hour just trying to key in the right data and for uploading into the MLS but if you create the right system and show them how it’s done, all you do afterwards is just hand the system to the VA and they do and you just do the quality assurance to make sure  that’s it’s accurate and that save you time from having you doing the whole entire thing yourself.

And so, in summary, the reality is the possibilities, what you can use your VAs’ for is endless. So, you know, a virtual assistant, you know, can help a real estate agent become, you know, more efficient and effective overall. So that, you know, all you don’t have to do now is anything that is time consuming in your job or what you do everyday.
