How to Hire a Virtual Assistant for Real Estate Business
Real estate is one of the highest-VA-adoption industries for a reason. The business is relationship-driven, fast-moving, and administratively intense. A great virtual assistant for real estate lets you focus on clients and closings while everything else runs in the background.

Transaction coordination vs. general VA support
Some real estate VAs specialize in transaction coordination — managing the paperwork and communication between contract and closing. Others provide general administrative and marketing support. You may need one or both depending on your volume.
If you're closing fewer than 3 transactions a month, a general VA with real estate experience can handle both. Higher volume typically calls for a dedicated transaction coordinator.
What to look for in a real estate VA
Experience with real estate CRMs like Follow Up Boss, KVCORE, or Salesforce. Familiarity with MLS platforms. Understanding of the contract-to-close timeline. Strong written communication for client-facing emails.
How much does a real estate VA cost?
For general admin and marketing support, 10–15 hours per week, expect $500–$1,500 per month. Transaction coordination is often priced per transaction at $300–$600 per file.
