Are you struggling to find a qualified real estate virtual assistant for your business? You know, one that fits the role you're offering with the relevant qualifications, knowledge, and skills to tackle real estate-specific tasks. 

Whether you're a commercial investor, fix and flipper, real estate agent, or wholesaler, finding a virtual assistant with the training to help you succeed is easy with VPM Solutions. We make finding qualified contractors more simple than any other platform. 

We have created a real estate-specific training program that takes new assistants through all the material they need to learn the ins and outs of the U.S. real estate industry. Post-completion, virtual assistants earn certifications, which real estate professionals can use to check how suitable a particular contractor is for a specific role. 

Before diving into what a VPM Academy certification means and how it will help you, let's take a closer look at VPM Academy.

What is VPM Academy?

VPM Academy is a free online training program for new and experienced virtual assistants, available only through VPM Solutions. As a collection of specially designed courses, our Academy is created by real estate professionals with decades of industry experience. 

The content, consisting of informative video sessions, takes remote assistants through industry basics such as the property under management lifecycle, real estate marketing, and countless industry-specific topics–paramount to the day-to-day running of your real estate company. 

While the training is one thing, we've also made it extremely easy for you to select the most qualified and suitable assistants for your real estate business. We do this through our unique certification system. By providing certificates for contractors after training completion, you can see what they've learned and in which areas they are qualified to help you. 

What is a Real Estate Assistant Certification?

A VPM Academy course certification indicates if a candidate has learned the material and passed a test to assess their knowledge. This certificate is our way of allowing assistants to work toward something to enhance their skills and resumes. It's also one of our unique ways of helping companies find and select qualified contractors. 

What Do the Certifications Mean?

VPM Academy certifications mean you can see which individuals have completed training courses that apply to the role you need to fill. Searching for specific certifications through the platform's dashboard can direct you quickly to the best candidates for your roles. 

Choose the Most Suitable Assistants

Because you see which courses each remote assistant has completed, you can choose the one that suits the role. Instead of spending valuable time sifting through resumes and VA profiles to determine the right fit, you can see (before you even click on a contractor's profile) the certification they've completed. 

Multiple Courses Improve Industry Knowledge

Our course base constantly evolves and expands to help your virtual team members expand their knowledge. Our mission is to provide virtual assistants with all the industry knowledge and expertise they need to significantly impact your company's productivity and success. 

We have several excellent courses, including "Property Management 101" and a real estate marketing course. As we grow and expand, we'll create even more courses, help all our virtual assistants improve their skills, and diversify how they help you. 

Filter by Certification  

Searching for a real estate virtual assistant can be tricky. Finding only the candidates that suit your open position can take time. However, when logged into your free profile, you can filter your options via specific certificates. When selecting a remote assistant, you can see their certifications on their profile (displayed via the graduation cap icon). 

This means that if you need to add a virtual team member quickly, using our certification criteria leaves you with a list of virtual contractors who have completed courses with training most relevant to your company and needs. 

On-Going Training

Additionally, contractors can pre-train for future roles as you can set your qualification requirements. Virtual assistants can search for recommended certifications that best suit their desired positions. 

Our courses make it simple and easy for VAs to find the jobs they want and for you as a real estate business owner to find the most suitable candidate.
