What is a virtual real estate assistant?

A virtual assistant is an independent contractor or an employee of an agency like Hyperion. They are knowledgeable in numerous industries and assist real estate agents in various business areas. Assistants are not bound by a long-term contract, which separates them from full-time employees. This makes them the superior and more convenient option for emerging enterprises that lack the financial stability to hire full-time workers.

How to choose a competent virtual assistant

When employing a virtual assistant, it is essential to take the time to determine your needs, as this will allow you to select the ideal candidate. Consider the following factors before beginning your search for a real estate virtual assistant:

Know your requirements.

If you don’t know what you’re looking for in an assistant, you will never find one. Prior to beginning the hiring process, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the duties you want your virtual assistant to complete. So before you begin your search, consider the following:

• What activities consume the majority of my time?
• Which tasks are distracting me from my primary business responsibilities?
• What chores am I willing to do myself?
• Which tasks am I unqualified or inexperienced to perform?

These questions will assist you in determining your own strengths and shortcomings. For example, assume you are a great communicator but lack design abilities. Consequently, you may manage client communications while your Real Estate Virtual Assistant handles social media designs and blog updates. You now know you must get a virtual assistant who can write blogs, comprehend SEO, and generate social media postings.

If you lack administrative and organisational skills, you can hire a virtual assistant to manage your calendar and organise your email inbox. The same is true for duties relating to research. This will also allow you to be more productive and focused and free up time for business-specific duties.

Write a descriptive job description.

Now that you are aware of what you require from your virtual assistant, you can begin crafting a thorough job description. The more specific it is, the more you will be able to narrow down your applicant pool and save time interviewing unqualified people.

Provide a job description, an introduction to the organisation, the candidate’s key tasks, desired credentials and skills, work hours, and any other pertinent information. You may believe that this method is simply advantageous to you, but it is also quite beneficial to the applicants. It will aid in their understanding of the position and what they should bring to the table.

By hiring through Hyperion, we will assist you with the above-mentioned tasks and provide you with three highly qualified candidates to interview.

Make your compensation expectations clear.

Full-time virtual assistants are favoured over domestic employees since they are more cost-effective. How much more economical you are will depend on your needs and preferences. Choosing a Hyperion outsourced virtual real estate assistant will only cost you $2100 a month, fully managed.

If you only need a virtual assistant for normal administrative chores, the cost may be lower. However, employing specialists for specialised tasks such as lead generation, research, or social media marketing would be more expensive. As previously said, it is vital to document your criteria in order to determine where you might make concessions to save costs. Transparency regarding remuneration will also save you and the candidate a great deal of time. Consequently, you will not have to negotiate the salary later.
