    9 Ways a Virtual Assistant Can Help A Real Estate Agency in 2023 

    With well-trained, experienced remote team members, possibilities are endless. Many virtual assistants have unique skills in addition to remote assistant experience. Here are some everyday tasks they can easily tackle. 

    1. Accelerate Your Marketing 

    If there's one area of business growth that can eat away significant amounts of time, it's your marketing efforts. Marketing in 2023 involves countless methods of getting your name out there, particularly online through digital marketing. Unfortunately, we're not all lucky enough to have a dedicated team, so marketing alongside running your business often feels like an impossible uphill battle. 

    Thankfully, real estate virtual assistants can perform various marketing tasks for real estate agents, from managing your website and optimizing for search engines to posting social media content, managing social accounts, creating content, and even producing dedicated video content of properties for listings. 

    2. Gather Reviews 

    While the concept of reviews is straightforward, they are surprisingly hard to gather if you're not actively chasing them. 

    Reviews show social proof to prospects and are crucial to your local SEO. With countless review websites to get reviews on, gathering them, displaying them in one place, and reaping the rewards of great reviews is tricky. 

    A real estate virtual assistant helps you gather reviews more or less on autopilot. They can also display testimonials on your website and prompt your customers to leave reviews on a dedicated reviews page.

    3. Renew Expired Listings 

    When a property fails to sell within the required period, you need to relist it, which gets complicated if you have multiple clients. Real estate VAs take control and help you stay up to date with expired listings. 

    4. Prepare Presentations 

    Creating an excellent listing presentation is one of the most critical aspects of success as a realtor. After all, it's your first impression to prospective clients, so it needs to really wow them. 

    Virtual contractors can help you create, develop and present with that "wow" factor. With the best remote assistants boasting excellent design and marketing knowledge, you have a low-cost, highly-productive resource to help you raise the bar on presentations.

    5. Create Brochures 

    If there's one area you want to put time into, it's displaying the best and most attractive features of the property you're selling. A well-designed, professional brochure allows you to wow your prospects, build trust, and convey professionalism. 

    A top real estate remote assistant with design and marketing experience can develop brochures that display your home in the best light possible, with outstanding photos and layouts.

    6. Manage Databases 

    Your customer relationship management (CRM) is another critical aspect of your real estate business. Managing all prospective buyers or sellers and nurturing relationships with multiple clients is crucial. 

    However, keeping track of everything and managing your CRM is another time-consuming task. Virtual team members help you stay organized with all your contacts and data in one place.  

    7. Handle Your Scheduling 

    With countless meetings, appointments, and open homes, scheduling shapes your life as a realtor. However, what if you could outsource the scheduling? 

    Imagine walking into the office with your entire day perfectly mapped out. This is the reality for real estate agents with trained remote workers who can respond to emails and schedule time carefully around your duties and meetings. 

    8. Send Follow-Up Messages 

    An often overlooked aspect of successfully operating as a real estate agent, especially with existing or happy former clients, is chasing referrals. Sending follow-up messages to ask for referrals and reviews is a great way to incentivize those people to pass your details on to new prospects and grow your business. 

    Real estate virtual assistants can do that while you focus on other business areas.

    9. Manage Your Contact List

    Managing your contact list as a real estate professional can be tricky. With many details to keep track of and contacts to balance across all aspects of your business, things can get unorganized and messy. Virtual assistants help you stay on top of your contacts and in control.
