In a world where anything can happen with the click of a button or a tap on the screen, companies would be wise to invest in expanding their goals by reaching out to professional communities that can assist them in dealing with the challenges and demands that their company faces on a daily basis. Yes, in a fast-paced property market, you will undoubtedly require a remote team member for your company. How can an RTM help manage your properties? Consider some of the most important opportunities you can provide them:

Property Research

The real estate industry is extremely competitive. Keeping up with recent events, news, and industry-related legislation and regulations is essential for the success of your company. A remote team member can perform research-related tasks like following market trends, keeping an eye on rivals, determining to price for various sites, etc. Your internal agents will always have the information they require thanks to this method.

Marketing

Most people nowadays use the internet to find the best products to buy. To keep up with this, you must have a strong social media presence as well as unique digital marketing skills in order for people to notice your real estate business.

A remote team member who can manage and develop an effective marketing strategy could assist with this. They can run various campaigns, answer prospects’ questions, create interesting marketing materials, or start a blog about your company. RTMs can keep track of the most recent viral event in the real estate niche, monitor engagements, and analyze data to determine which marketing strategies work best for your company.

Some of the marketing tasks an RTM can achieve are as follows:

• Create buyer’s packets and PowerPoint presentations.
• Distribute mailers to your spheres of influence.
• Creating graphics for digital and print assets
• Plan (or even write) blog posts
• Look for content ideas.
• Make changes to your website.
• Email Scheduling
• SEO enhancements
• Use social media to post, update, and advertise.
• Monitor marketing analytics

Appointment Setting & Generating Leads

Agents in a real estate company usually have a filled schedule every single day. Real estate VAs or RTMs are skilled in using different scheduling tools to manage and schedule appointments for your in-house team. 

They could remind you of all appointments in your calendar. They could also organize your schedules so there will not be any overlap in meetings or property tours.

Don’t underestimate a remote team member’s abilities simply because they are remotely working— you’d be surprised how many sales tasks a virtual assistant can assist you with. While some responsibilities may necessitate a higher level of English fluency, a VA can help you get a lot of the tedious stuff done, such as:

• Investigate buyer and seller leads
• Update your CRM with lead notes.
• Cold calling and prospecting
• Follow-up on leads
• Make appointments
• Provide weekly performance updates to sellers.

Operations

If juggling projects, deadlines, and other people’s schedules aren’t your strong suit, hiring a remote team member to assist with day-to-day real estate operations can be extremely beneficial — especially if you hire one who is familiar with the real estate industry. A real estate VA can assist with a variety of tasks that keep your office running smoothly, such as:

• Data entry (MLS, CRM, reporting, etc.)
• Listing presentations, coordination, and updates
• Collect feedback from your clients and team members
• Basic bookkeeping, including I&E and P&L tracking
• Prepare sales and performance reports
• Manage contracts, agreements, and other documents
• Schedule showings and services (photographers, inspections, etc.)
• New agent recruiting and onboarding

Administrative Tasks

Of course, there are the standard RTM or VA tasks — responsibilities similar to those assigned to a secretary or personal assistant. Allow an RTM to be the “Jarvis for Iron Man, for tasks such as:

• Respond to emails and/or triage inboxes
• Schedule meetings
• Receptionist responsibilities (like answering incoming calls)
• Keep meeting minutes.
• Keep track of your calendar.
• Personal administration (holiday cards, organizing family events, etc.)

However, finding these capable and skilled professionals would be one of the disadvantages of a company whose sole focus is to run the business. Of course, the last thing they would think about is hiring and managing them.
