How to add value to your business by using a Real Estate VA

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Merrick Management And Media Virtual Assistant Services

The importance of keeping in touch, reaching out, letting a client know you are thinking of them. How important is that? Major league important!

But you are a busy real estate professional. How do you leave time for all the little nuances of human relationships when you are trying to survive, getting leads, getting listings, closings, etc.

The answer may be to make an investment in a skilled Virtual Assistant. She/he will never let you forget a past/present client birthday, anniversary, promotion, etc. The VA will take care of your holiday cards, drip email campaign, postcards, marketing, leads management. She/he will call on your expired listings and perform so many clerical and administrative duties that you will wonder why you took all this on yourself.

Most importantly, the VA will help you keep close ties with those past and present clients who have earned you a commission. Every one of them has a sister, cousin, friend, etc, who may be a potential customer of yours one day. 

While your Virtual Assistant is doing all your busy work, you can be out networking, drumming up business, or sometimes just enjoying some time with the family or playing some golf. 

You are in the service business and so are we. It's a domino effect of how ventures prosper, one person helping the other down the line.

To Your Astounding Success!

Hi Taryn,

You make an excellent point about the importance of maintaining mind share.  Real estate professionals who keep in touch with their clients and prospects on a consistent basis will be the ones most frequently called when a seller or buyer is ready to enter the marketplace.

Real estate agents who understand the powerful features of electronic marketing systems such as Top Producer 7i and who leverage their time by working with a virtual assistant will be able to sustain the volume of marketing necessary to build relationships.

And when you think about it, relationship building is the foundation for all of our successes -- both business and personal.

Sincerely,

Vicki Vannoy

Thanks - great post.  I've been on the fence about hiring a VA and now I'm thinking more seriously about it.
