Sample Real Estate Support Services Packages of Real Estate VA Services

Partnering with a Virtual Assistant for 10 hours per month can
accomplish so much.  Below are some real life examples of what can be
accomplished for my real estate virtual assistant clients within 10
hours per month.

Example #1:

  • Update blog weekly
  • Update print version of office inventory weekly
  • Update listings on website weekly
  • Update contacts in database and send out newsletter monthly
    (This
    stuff has to be done and the value of having it done well by a virtual
    assistant specializing in real estate support services, as opposed to
    by an entry level in office assistant who just wants to collect her
    weekly paycheck is astonishing.)

Example #2:

  • Prepare listing presentations
  • Research and contact the expired listings in your target area
  • Research and contact the FSBOs in your target area
  • Send greeting cards to your sphere of influence
    (Just one contract obtained from either of these methods could more than pay for our fees for about 2 years!)

Example #3: (we call this our Web 2.0 package)

  • Focuses all our time on marketing your site on the
    web…everything from search engine optimization, blogging, improving
    website content for search engine performance, writing press releases
    and submitting them, submitting your site to various real estate
    directories, constantly keeping website and content fresh and new to
    improve your rankings and bring you new traffic.
    (Don’t get left
    behind…who’s the agent in your office or neighborhood who seems to be
    the "charmed one"?  You can bet that whomever they are…they are
    paying attention to all things internet! 80% of all home buyers use the
    Internet, according to a NAR profile from 2006…and those numbers have
    most likely increased since then.)

Those are just a few samples of how The 10 Hour VA can improve your
overall business performance and free you up to sell real estate!
Below is a complete list of services that we offer…your 10 Hour VA
package can be as customized as you like, according to your needs.  We
do offer higher retainer packages containing more hours; however, we
feel that the value that can be brought to your business just by
partnering with us for 10 hours is a great way to start.
