Can a Property Development Assistant work virtually?

Businesswoman Focusing on Her Work
Yes. A property development assistant can perform their job duties from a virtual location. However, you’ll need to do a few things to create an environment where the virtual assistant can succeed. If you’ve never had a virtual assistant before, you’ll need to gain team buy-in. You’ll also need to be flexible and patient. You’ll also want to invest in task management software to prioritize the day’s work.
ShoreAgents has considerable experience helping real estate and property development companies grow their businesses using virtual assistants. We provide advice and coaching to help you take the necessary steps to ensure your virtual property development assistant’s success.

Local Property Development Assistant Vs. Virtual Property Development Assistant

If you’re ready to hire a property development assistant, you’re likely considering whether to hire them locally or to contract with ShoreAgents to hire a virtual assistant. Here are some of the benefits of contracting with ShoreAgents to hire a virtual property development assistant.
A virtual property development assistant based in the Philippines will cost significantly less than an assistant based in most other countries. ShoreAgents is based in the Philippines. Partnering with ShoreAgents will give you a competent, hard-working property development assistant for much less than you’d pay in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand, Australia, and Singapore.
If you hire a local assistant, you’ll have to complete the hiring process yourself. Hiring is a specialized skill that improves with practice. Finding the right person also requires a significant time commitment.
ShoreAgents is a real estate staffing solutions firm. We have a lot of experience hiring virtual assistants for all types of real estate businesses. We do most of the hiring work for you, and we do it well. We:
  • Help you develop a job description.
  • Recruit finalists for you from our extensive network.

We can recruit the best people for you to choose from.

Our property development virtual assistants stay with their jobs long-term because they work alongside other virtual assistants performing similar duties for other employers. They support each other and can learn best practices from each other.
Now, we’ve looked at all the benefits of having a virtual property development assistant. Let’s take a look at the drawbacks.
Really, the only potential drawbacks are that you’ll need to do some planning to prepare for having a virtual team member. You’ll need to get your other team members on board and invest in task management software. You’ll also need to appoint a staff member to supervise the assistant’s work day to day.
The benefits of hiring a virtual real estate property development assistant are clear. However, the decision of whether to hire a local property development assistant or to hire a virtual one is up to you. If you want the benefits of hiring a virtual assistant, ShoreAgents can help you make any necessary adjustments so that your virtual relationship will work smoothly.

Property Development Assistant Role

A virtual assistant can handle most duties that you’d typically assign to a real estate property development assistant. Here’s a list of possible responsibilities. We’ve put a tick beside each duty that the property development assistant could perform from a virtual location. We’ve put a cross next to those that require an in-person team member.
