part time virtual assistance: Cleaning Doesn't Have to Be a Chore - 11/03/10 02:58 PM
Most of us do not enjoy cleaning. Face it, cleaning is a chore that many of us begrudgingly whittle away at until it is finished. The end result of a clutter-free and clean living space that we have worked so hard to attain. The process is just something to be gotten through, right? A shiny fresh kitchen is really what we are after...with a floor so spotless you feel OK letting your child freely crawl across.
Best Agent Business wants to help you wade through all those blacklogs of older buyer leads you have accumulated, and we have a system in place … (0 comments)

part time virtual assistance: Communicating with Your Clients - A Calculation that Adds Up - 07/07/10 11:15 PM
Communication = Relationships = Referrals = Sales
It's an equation real estate professionals know well: The more relationships you have out there, the more likely you are to get referrals that give you the sales you need.
Relationships begin with and are nurtured by communication. The three ways to communicate are in person, by telephone, and through the mail, whether electronic or postal mail.
Your time is valuable. In-person visits are necessarily limited to showing properties to potential clients and meeting with them for contract signings. Maybe you dedicate an hour a day to phone calls to personally speak with your … (4 comments)

part time virtual assistance: In a Virtual World, What Really Needs To Be Done On-Site? - 06/23/10 11:10 PM
A client of ours with a booming real estate practice in Mexico mentioned recently that she was giving up her office. Both she and her agents work more online and via iPhone than they do in the brick and mortar structure, so why pay rent? She will procure most services virtually, as she does now, and work with most of her international clients by phone, fax, and email as she does now. What she will save in office expenses, she will apply toward more virtual services.
This brings up a timely question: What really needs to be done by someone in … (3 comments)

part time virtual assistance: The Secret to Santa's Virtual Success - A Postmortum - 01/01/10 04:07 PM
Since its already the new year, it's a little late to be talking about Santa Claus. However, as a company that provides part time virtual assistants, just a week after Christmas a look at the master delegator is in order.
Here's the facts. From September on, Santa is a dominating figure in advertising. Though in the past, he wasn't seen much until after Halloween, now he competes with costumes for shelf space, and soon dominates the scene. Then the toy ads start. Miraculously, Santa is hard at work making just what kids want. Kids become preoccupied with selecting their desired presents … (0 comments)

As the year comes to an end, think back....when was the last time you touched base with your past clients and SOI via phone? Your past clients and SOI are perhaps your best marketing tools. Think back to that old shampoo commercial, she'll tell two friends and they'll tell two friends and so on and so on and so on.... If you were looking for property, would you choose someone from a paper, of would you take the advice of a friend or colleague that had a good experience with their realtor?
The end of the year is hectic, and most … (0 comments)

Social media is the big buzzword in the marketing field these days. Whether your business is real estate or new shoes, almost everyone is doing it. But what is "it" and how can you get started? Do you have to do it all yourself, from set-up to daily maintenance? Can a virtual assistant help you with it?
Social media is the catch-all phrase for all things "social" using "media," primarily the internet. The social media networks that are familiar to most people are MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. A blog can be considered a social media outlet as well.

part time virtual assistance: How Does Your Website Represent You? - 09/07/09 09:46 PM
Your website is your calling card. Ever wonder what kind of first impression it makes on visitors? Keep in mind that these days, some people look you up because they saw your web address on an ad or flyer. These visitors are warmed up. Many other visitors come in cold, after they have found your name online, been directed there by a geographic search, or led there by Trulia, Zillow, or some third party site where they found a listing they wanted to check out.
When website guests arrive, will they find a jumble of information or a classy presentation? Will … (4 comments)

These days, you, as a socially conscious consumer may avoid knowingly buying clothes made in sweatshops and may patronize a company with a good track record on environmental issues.

Most companies have a mission statement that is hung on a wall somewhere. Lifebushido/Best Agent … (0 comments)

part time virtual assistance: Best Agent Business Out in the Rain - Part 1 - 08/22/09 03:42 PM
Best Agent Business has been serving top agents with the services of our part time virtual assistants for going on three years now, yet we have never been on Active Rain. This is ironic as we routinely encourage our clients to sign up as paying members, or at the very least, include Active Rain on their list of posting sites. Up to now, we have marketed ourselves at conferences, utilized a number of online ad venues, and relied on a combination of personal contacts and word of mouth to spread the word about our services.
We recently decided it was high … (0 comments)
