In my years in business, I can totally say I made the right decision in hiring a VA (Virtual Assistant) to help me out with tasks that I wasn’t able to handle before because of my tight schedule selling homes, talking to clients outside the office (that made me drop my online marketing side). I had doubts as to whether it will work especially tasks will be done virtually. I had questions like, HOW POSSIBLE IS IT FOR A VA TO WORK WITH A BUSY REALTOR? WHAT TASKS DO I GIVE TO MY VA THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED AT THE END OF THE DAY? WILL I GENERATE BUSINESS FROM THIS VA? I gave it a try and in my opinion, it’s worth the risk! I started giving my marketing obligation to the VA - of course I had to let her familiarize the tools that I had been using, she handles campaigns, lead generation (right! calling out leads and setting appointments on my behalf), website maintenance, SEO’s and all that’s necessary to the point of turning over my MLS tasks and transaction coordination to her and I eventually found myself, meeting buyers and sellers, selling more and profiting more than my humble expectation. Alas! It worked. For almost a year, I see no change in her valuable performance except surprisingly great improvements each day, well, credits to My Out Desk. I thank my VA for her indispensable duties and the quality of work she continues to offer. Again, thank you!

I'm glad to hear that working with your VA is going so well. I've been kicking the idea around as I am relaunching my business. I think I'm definitely going to get me a VA as well very soon.
