On another recent post, a lot of folks had a lot to say about whether or not it was a good idea to hire an Admin Ass't. Some of the really good comments were from people who hire themselves out as "Virtual Assistants". I will be the first to admit that I know very little about the benefits and challenges to using a Virtual Assistant and would like to invite a discussion of same from the Virtual Assistant community, from people who are currently using them and had great experiences as well as from those who had not so great experiences.
In your real estate business, at what point does it make most financial and business sense to consider hiring a Virtual Assistant? What are the secrets to a mutually successful relationship? What are the best uses of a"VA"? What duties, assignments or expectations will doom the relationship to failure? How much should it cost? Are their typical levels of assistance with graduated costs? Is there an overall financial benefit for using a higher level of hours?
What questions should you always ask a VA to help determine if this is the person for you?
