Certified REVA Provides Real Estate Support Services – Let Me Be Your Real Estate VA!

My business model as a real estate virtual assistant has been very well received, and I am thrilled. It is a concept that has been bubbling in my brain and just waiting to come to fruition.  I didn’t come to it on my own, two mentors whom I value, both unknowingly had their hands in it.  I have been trying to come up with a way to change my business model in a way that was more beneficial for my real estate agent clients, making it easier for them to see the value in partnering with a real estate virtual assistant.  There are two vanity domain names that apply to this site:  TheValueof10.com (which simply forwards here) and The10HourVA.com (which is my Active Rain blog where I share tips and advice with you) – both are symbolic of what I am trying to do with this site and with my business from here on out…show the clients the value in partnering with me for their real estate support services.

My concept is that my real estate virtual assistant clients who partner with me for 10 hours per month, on retainer, have a clear outlined value that they can expect to receive.  I’m not going to punch a time clock, I am not going to be micro-managed and report to my clients every minute of my time – because all that does is waste time, what I am going to do is work.  Work to achieve value for my clients.  Money comes hard, especially these days with the turn in the market…I have faith that it will turn around…but I want to work with you now, and show you how working with eRealty Network, LLC can improve your overall marketing efforts, administrative effectiveness, and basically take over the parts of running your business that you put off or don’t excel at and help your business grow financially. Then maybe that money will come a little easier back to you…

Please visit the "A Lot Can Be Accomplished In 10 Hours…" page to see a detailed description of some of the ways that I, as your real estate virtual assistant, can help you in just 10 hours per month. Once you’ve read that page and see how much partnering with me as your real estate va can accomplish in just 10 hours per month, then please visit the "How it All Works" page.

I look forward to working with you as your real estate virtual assistant and showing you The Value of 10SM!

All the best~

Virtual Assistant Definition

A Virtual Assistant (or VA) is a service provider who specializes in providing administrative support services and works with clients in an ongoing, collaborative professional relationship.

Virtual Assistants are business owners who work from their own offices and utilize today’s technology to deliver their services and communicate with clients.

A Virtual Assistant’s support is foundationally administrative, secretarial and clerical in nature. However, many Virtual Assistants offer additional specialties that fall under creative and technical services.

Virtual Assistants come from a variety of business backgrounds, but the single-most important qualification to become a Virtual Assistant is at least five (5) years administrative experience earned in the real (non-virtual) business world working in upper level capacities such as administrative assistant, executive assistant, secretary, legal assistant, paralegal, legal secretary, real estate assistant, office manager, etc.

From this level of experience, a VA is expected to possess the skill sets, training and business knowledge which are the hallmark of a truly qualified Virtual Assistant.
