Microsoft PowerPoint for Property Management Virtual Assistants

Written by Leon de Gruchy | Dec 7, 2022 3:00:00 PM

Microsoft PowerPoint is a vital program that can help property managers deliver presentations to potential owners when trying to grow their businesses. It's an excellent technological tool to convey ideas, support material covered in Zoom meetings, or guide VAs through steps in a process. In addition, your property management virtual assistants can use Microsoft PowerPoint to help create presentations for property managers or others within your company. 

When choosing a virtual assistant for your company, make sure they understand the following ways to utilize this resource!

How Can Microsoft PowerPoint Help Your Property Management Business?

Microsoft PowerPoint is simple to use and, as such, is a tool frequently used to refine presentations. Whether you're speaking to a large group, running a webinar, or giving a presentation to potential property owners, PowerPoint is an excellent resource for polished, easy-to-follow presentations. 

Here are a few of the best features of Microsoft PowerPoint.

Custom Presentation Ideas

Microsoft PowerPoint has presentation ideas and templates that can make your work easier when creating presentations. There are various presets to choose from, and you can also adjust effects accordingly to fit your property management company and brand. 

Animation

Animations make your presentation interesting and might also be relevant to the point you are trying to put across. PowerPoint offers a variety of animations that fit your content to keep viewers engaged and communicate important information on slides or as transitions between slides. 

Visuals and Sound Effects

Spicing up your presentations with visuals and sound effects can also help keep your audience engaged and spruce up an otherwise bland presentation filled with too much text. Furthermore, you can import the visuals from your computer storage if they are relevant to your presentation and add them to your slides. PowerPoint allows property managers or a virtual personal assistant to add images, gifs, and videos into presentations easily. 

Presentation Notes

Best practices encourage PowerPoint slides to include minimal information while conveying complete ideas. To accomplish that, the software offers space for presentation notes to help presenters talk through content without overwhelming a slide (or an audience) with too much text. 

Property management virtual assistants can use these and many more features within PowerPoint to refine presentations for property owners, potential clients, team members, or tenants. 

Why Is PowerPoint Useful for Property Managers?

Microsoft PowerPoint is essential to property managers as they can use it to market their businesses. With a skilled virtual assistant, property managers can deliver custom presentations for a variety of uses!

Customized Presentations for Client Meetings

During virtual or physical meetings, property managers must make informative presentations to existing or potential clients to showcase their services and win over their audiences. The best way to make quality presentations easily is by using the reliable features of Microsoft PowerPoint. 

Develop Training Sessions for Team Members

There's no need to reinvent the wheel each time you add a new employee or virtual team member to your company. Instead, develop PowerPoint presentations about essential processes or concepts to help your team members understand your business, their tasks, or important concepts. 

Onboard New Tenants

A virtual personal assistant can help you deliver helpful materials to new tenants during the onboarding or move-in process. With PowerPoint, create presentations that cover the move-in process, checklists, how to report maintenance issues, and more. Then, your VA can walk new tenants through presentations over Zoom. 

Canva vs. PowerPoint: Which Is Best for Virtual Assistants and Property Management?

Virtual assistants are ideal for many jobs in the property management industry, including administrative or marketing assistants that can help with PowerPoint presentations. While many property management virtual assistants understand online marketing, you can also train VAs for specific property management or marketing tasks, so they add more value to your team. 

If you're not sure whether Canva or PowerPoint is ideal for presentations, many VAs prefer using Canva over PowerPoint. While Microsoft PowerPoint also has customizable features, Canva offers a wide range with more templates and up-to-date features

Canva also offers more quality images with various editing effects that a VA can use to customize your slides. Canva is also free (although the paid version unlocks more features and images) and does not require software downloads, making it easy for your remote team to use your Canva account from anywhere.
