By
Education & Training with Corcoran Consulting & Coaching

David Letterman has made the Top Ten list a nightly feature on his TV talk show.  He didn't invent the concept, but he's made it popular.

Some real estate agents who need some help are often puzzled about what to outsource.  In an office, some tasks require a body in the next room, but many things can be conveniently passed off to a competent assistant who may be based in Timbuktu.

Professional Real Estate Virtual Assistants (REVAs) electronically support Real Estate Professionals (REPs) from a distance. REVAS use the latest technology available to support their clients without geographical boundaries.  If you can't think of how to use a virtual assistant, here's the first half of a Top Ten list you can use.

1. General Agent support
