7 Painful Problems Every Realtor Faces

7 Painful Problems Every Realtor Faces

By Beyond Business, June 23, 2025

In the real estate world, success isn’t just about closing deals—it’s about juggling dozens of moving parts without dropping the ball. If you’re a realtor, chances are you’ve battled more than a few of these challenges. The good news? You don’t have to go it alone. With a skilled Filipino transaction coordinator, you can finally tackle the daily chaos with structure and support.

1. Drowning in Admin Work

From managing listings and scheduling showings to submitting disclosures and chasing signatures, administrative tasks eat up hours of your day. That means less time prospecting, networking, or attending closings.

💡 The Fix: Hire a Filipino transaction coordinator to handle paperwork, compliance checklists, calendar management, and more. With tasks delegated, you can shift your focus back to growing your sales pipeline.

2. Missed Deadlines and Delays

Real estate timelines are tight. One missed inspection date or unsigned addendum can send an entire deal off the rails, damaging your reputation and stressing out your clients.

💡 The Fix: An experienced transaction coordinator VA ensures that every step is tracked—inspection periods, appraisal schedules, financing contingencies, and closing dates. Nothing slips through the cracks.

3. Lack of Consistent Client Communication

Clients expect regular updates. But with your plate full, replying to every email, phone call, and update request becomes a never-ending battle.

💡 The Fix: A VA can serve as your client-facing liaison—sending reminders, status reports, and check-ins that keep buyers, sellers, and lenders in the loop while making you look ultra-responsive.

4. Losing Leads to Competitors

When you're overwhelmed by operations, follow-ups slip. You may miss hot leads simply because you didn’t get back fast enough.

💡 The Fix: A Filipino VA trained in CRM tools like Follow Up Boss, Salesforce, or HubSpot can keep your contacts nurtured and organised—automating responses and scheduling timely follow-ups that convert.

5. Feeling Like You’re Always “On”

Real estate doesn’t operate 9-to-5. You’re on calls during dinner, editing listings at midnight, and chasing docs on weekends. Burnout becomes real.

💡 The Fix: Filipino VAs work on flexible schedules, often matching your US time zone. You can offload tasks at the end of your day and wake up to progress—without sacrificing your sleep or sanity.

6. Growing Your Team Is Expensive

Hiring locally means salaries, taxes, insurance, onboarding, and turnover costs. Many solo agents and small teams simply can’t afford full-time staff.

💡 The Fix: Hiring a transaction coordinator from the Philippines gives you professional support at a fraction of the cost. BBVA VAs bring experience without the overhead—typically saving 50–70% compared to US-based hires.

7. No Time for Strategy and Scaling

You dream of launching marketing campaigns, refining buyer funnels, or expanding to new markets—but daily fires always come first.

💡 The Fix: Once you delegate daily operations to a reliable VA, you finally free up your mental bandwidth to focus on growth. With the back-end handled, you can take your real estate business to the next level.
