When you’re breaking into the real estate business and you are driven for success above all else, there are a number of things that you can do.

For example, you can read books written by real estate top producers like Ralph R. Roberts’ Walk Like a Giant, Sell Like a Madman that will give you pointers for getting ahead. You can get your resume to the best agencies in your city or town and make it a point to get the best interviews

You can also take a slightly different path. You can commit yourself to success. You can find yourself a great position that will let you begin to establish your name – your real estate brand so to speak – and bring on a real estate virtual assistant who can help you to move forward in other ways.

A real estate virtual assistant can help you by:

• researching the farm area where you intend to settle in, the place where you can commit to being a real estate success story for 10, 20, 30 or more years;
• determining the best agents and agent teams in the area where you hope to work and identifying what makes them so successful;
• creating the marketing materials that you need to be competitive and to rise above the majority of agents in your area;
• working with you to bring in additional clients, manage your schedule, answer inquiries and take care of parts of your business that slow you down over the course of the day.

When you work with an assistant for real estate, you’ll find that you are better able to grow your business. You’ll be partnering with someone with real estate experience who can help you to make the right choices – choices that will help you to get ahead – and to get everything done.

Growing a real estate business can be chaotic; establishing a real estate brand is even more challenging. But remember this: it doesn’t have to be.

As a real estate agent, you know the value of creating marketing materials that “pop.” You know that when your listing brochures stand out, more prospective buyers are going to pick them up. The more that people get interested in a property, the more they’ll want to see it. The more they see a property you represent, the sooner someone will make an offer – the sooner you’ll get the property sold and be able to move on to the next.

It all comes down to one simple thing: marketing.

But not every real estate office has what they need to create great marketing brochures – some don’t have the eye for design, others are missing the software, still others just don’t have the time.

A real estate virtual assistant may be able to help. Many have a sense for design. Many have the tools on hand to create great marketing brochures – software and other tools. And many are able to commit the time to creating marketing brochures that will get your real estate business and the properties that you represent noticed.

There are a variety of reasons why a real estate agent would hire a real estate virtual assistant. After all, when you’re focused on growing your real estate business, it’s bound to seem like there aren’t enough hours in the day to keep up with everything.

The truth is, there aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished – if there were, there wouldn’t be a need for real estate virtual assistants.

Here are just 4 of the great services that a real estate virtual assistant can provide:

1. Marketing postcards: When your real estate business is growing, you might not have the time to design great marketing postcards – those that announce “just listed” and “just sold” properties. A real estate virtual assistant can not only design these postcards, but also can get them to the printer, get them addressed and get them in the mail.
2. Designing and updating your website. Working with people isn’t everyone’s strong point; neither is technology. A real estate virtual assistant can design a great website for your real estate business and keep that site updated with information about your listings as well as those characteristics that separate you from your competitors.
3. Working with you to create action plans. An action plan can help you to streamline the process for securing new clients, dealing with expired listings (or those that are soon to expire) and for closings. With an action plan, you can keep the process consistent from one client to the next – and that will help you to put more time into your day.
4. Listing enhancements. A real estate virtual assistant can put the effort into providing your clients with top notch listings that make their homes even more appealing to prospective buyers and their agents.

Of course, these four services are far from all that a real estate virtual assistant can do to help you grow your real estate business: if there’s something that can help you out, a real estate virtual assistant can take it on and get it done!

There’s a lot of competition for real estate agents. Nearly every city and town has real estate offices on every block – they’re about as common as those chain coffee houses – and that doesn’t even take into consideration the independent agents.

In order to get past all of the competition, real estate agents (whether they work in an agency or independently) need to be able to show sellers and buyers what sets them apart.

You probably already have a website or blog where you put your information out into cyberspace so that prospective clients can find it and learn a bit more about you. You may have even considered creating a mailing list and launching an email marketing campaign; but maybe you’re not sure where to start.

A real estate virtual assistant can launch your email marketing campaign for you. We can set you up with an auto-mailer that will send information at specified intervals – not information that will flood a mailbox, just information that they can use to see why your services are right for them.

A real estate virtual assistant can get your email campaigns off on the right foot – whether you’re reaching out to prospective customers or keeping in touch with past clients. And, of course, if you don’t already have a website or blog, we can fix that for you too.

When real estate is your business, there will come a time when you have expired listings – but you may not have a great plan for dealing with them. A real estate virtual assistant not only will have a plan for keeping in touch with them but also can keep in touch for you.

For example, a real estate virtual assistant can send out a letter letting your client know that their MLS listing has expired and providing them with their options.

Don’t want to send a letter to announce an expired listing? Your real estate virtual assistant can place a call to speak to the owner directly, following a script that you’ve provided.

And of course, if the owner hadn’t been your client and you want to reach out to them offering your services, a real estate virtual assistant can reach out to them to discuss their options:

• a letter that addresses their concerns about trying another real estate agent and aims to alleviate those concerns;
• a letter offering a comparative market analysis to see whether or not re-pricing their home may help it to sell; or
• a letter filled with testimonials from your past clients that will help them to feel confident that you can succeed where a prior agent did not.

Why struggle to make sense of expireds? Keep track of them and put them to work for you – or let a real estate virtual assistant put them to work for you.

Many people have some concerns about hiring a real estate virtual assistant to help them with their growing business because they just don’t know what to expect.

For example, some may worry that, because they cannot see a real estate virtual assistant – in other words, because the person isn’t coming into their office in order to get the work done – that they’ll lose control. They worry that if they don’t see the work getting done, it might not be done.

Others may have different concerns. Maybe there’s a fear of outsourcing in general, or concerns about managing a project so that it’s “just so.”

When you work with a real estate virtual assistant, however, you won’t need to be afraid that the work won’t be done: real estate virtual assistants are committed entrepreneurs. They already have the drive and focus to reach business goals – yours as well as their own.

Similarly, they will listen when you give direction as to how a project should go. If you’d like, a real estate virtual assistant can also provide you with some advice about doing things more effectively, however, ultimately your project will be handled as you want it to be.

Working with a real estate virtual assistant is a lot like working with a partner. Rather than teaching someone the basics of how to do a job, you’ll be working with someone who has been there and knows the ropes.

Not everyone is a writer. Some people use the excuse that their spelling is awful; others just aren’t sure what they would say or why anyone would find it interesting. Others stick with the argument that they just don’t have the time to write in a blog everyday.

A blog – a web log – however, is an extremely valuable tool for your real estate business. But, don’t worry, a real estate virtual assistant can write your blog for you!

When your real estate company has a blog written by a real estate virtual assistant, you:

• will not have to make extra time in your day to write about your real estate business.
• will be able to feel confident that someone with writing skills is keeping the content on your website fresh – which is great for drawing search engine traffic
• will be able to decide the categories that your real estate virtual assistant tackles – in this way, you can have information updated about properties that you represent, advertise open houses, provide tips for selling or buying a home, provide write-ups of schools in the area and more
• can keep in touch with your current and prospective clients, establish a dialog and convey a sense of personality; in other words, your blog will let you build relationships with people in your area
• will be able to take advantage of a professionally written blog that you take the credit for.

Blogs are a fantastic marketing tool – don’t let not having the time or not knowing what to say keep you from using one.
