Using Virtual Assistants for Real Estate
If you are involved in real estate, you know that there can be some rules that are more of a sticky business.  Often times, there are certain moves that need to be kept confidential, as they can affect the living situation of a person.  There are other specific things that need to be done in the real estate profession that are unique to that profession.  If you have your own practice, and are thinking of hiring a virtual assistant, you want to make sure that you are on the same page. 
If you want to make sure that the virtual assistant you are working with understands real estate, than you can simply look at the credentials that they have.  This will help you to determine what is best for your business and can help you find a specialist as a virtual assistant.  If you want to be sure that a virtual assistant understands the business you are in, you can look at the International Virtual Assistants Association, or IVAA.  This offers certification for real estate specialists so they can work with you in your business endeavors. 
The certification for real estate and virtual assistance is comprised of a variety of understandings.  The first is that the virtual assistant will need to understand the terminology, legality and language of the legal documentation that is being used.  This will allow you to use them as an administrative assistant with your real estate.  The certification also provides information on what a virtual assistant can and cant do with the help that they are providing. 
Beyond this, a virtual assistant who focuses on real estate will be shown the real estate industry and the major ways in which it functions.  This will allow the virtual assistants to walk into any real estate office and talk the lingo, as well as provide the proper mannerisms for the job.  Overall, this will allow them to have the right mindset for what you need. 
By finding a virtual assistant for your real estate office, you will be able to continue to expand.  If you want to do this effectively, then it is important to make sure you find the right specialist.  One way to determine this is to find a virtual assistant that is certified as a real estate specialist.  This will give you the support you need when you are moving into a new territory of your real estate business.
