Real Estate Internet Marketing

As a real estate agent trying to grow your business through real estate marketing online, you’ve decided that you need to hire a real estate Virtual Assistant. Excellent idea!

One thing you want to be sure that you understand thoroughly is that Virtual Assistants are not employees. The two are very different things.

A Virtual Assistant is not going to be instantly available to you eight hours a day, five days a week, in the way an employee who works exclusively for you would be.

Your relationship is one of client and professional—not employer to employee. Each Virtual Assistant has her or his own business procedures, standards and policies for working with clients and will inform you of these during your interview. Make sure you understand and approve of these policies before hiring the VA.  (more…)

I know you’re thinking this because I thought the same thing too, at first. I resisted working with a Virtual Assistant (VA) for over a year. Then I tried it because I didn’t have any other choice. I was so busy working on client projects and actually seeing clients that I didn’t have time to market my business.

But once I hired a VA, I nearly doubled my revenues. I finally had time to work on getting more clients and taking care of the aspects of the business that actually MAKE me money. (more…)
