Real Estate Virtual Assistant

Benjamin Matthew

A realtor needs help marketing real estate.  Real Estate sales online can be very effective, but keeping all your information current and marketing it to the local home searchers takes time.

That is why a Virtual Buzz Assistant is a perfect match if you are a realtor looking for a Real Estate Virtual Assistant.

I have known a few realtors in my day, and let me make some broad generalizations.

  1. They do not like to spend large amounts of money on the web.  (Especially in 2008)
  2. They like to be able to show clients what they are doing for them.
  3. They are much more effective with a good support staff.
  4. They often need to write listings, update pictures or video and market homes on the web.

A Real Estate Virtual Buzz Assistant can help you in a variety of areas.  They may not help you with your calendar or scheduling, but they will really save you time on the web.  Here are some tasks to consider.

  1. Updates to websites and blogs
  2. Set up local housing blog and keep it updated
  3. Monitor search engine traffic to improve listing performance
  4. Update real estate listings
  5. Optimize images and video
  6. Upload images and video
  7. Reach out to local housing market and try to grow email lists
  8. Publish email newsletters with home listings

The biggest reason to get a real estate virtual assistant to specialize in your online marketing is because they will help you be more effective and free up your time to show homes and network.  You can start out with one small trial project and decide how you will proceed.

Marketing Real Estate on the Internet does not need to be expensive and involve marketing firms and web designers.  A virtual assistant that has solid internet marketing skills can meet the vast majority of your needs.
