What Realtors Really Think About Working With Virtual Assistants
By Beyond Business, May 17, 2025
You’ve probably heard other realtors mention how they “couldn’t survive without their VA.” But what does that actually mean? What really happens when a real estate professional hires a Filipino virtual assistant through Beyond Business Virtual Assistants (BBVA)?
We asked our clients, and they delivered. In this post, we’re sharing real, unfiltered feedback from real estate pros using BBVA VAs—and how those VAs have transformed their businesses and lives.
“I Finally Stopped Drowning in Admin Work”
Jamie R., Realtor, San Diego, CA
“Before hiring my VA, I was working 12-hour days and still falling behind. I hired a BBVA VA for 30 hours a week, and now I get more done in 6 hours than I used to in 12. She handles my emails, listings, and even my marketing calendar. I finally have evenings again.”
Tasks delegated:
- Inbox filtering
- Listing coordination
- Weekly email newsletters
- Showing feedback follow-up
“My CRM Is No Longer a Mess”
Malik S., Broker, Houston, TX
“Our CRM had over 6,000 untouched leads. I brought in a VA from BBVA and within two months, our pipeline was completely reorganised. Now I get lead updates every morning, and she’s even revived 4 old clients who turned into new listings.”
Tasks delegated:
- CRM updates
- Lead reactivation
- Calendar syncing
- Text and email follow-ups
“She’s Like My Business Partner—But Remote”
Cara T., Realtor, Tampa, FL
“I was nervous about trusting someone across the world with my clients. But my VA has become my right hand. She’s smart, kind, and clients love her emails. I’ve referred BBVA to three colleagues already.”
Tasks delegated:
- Buyer/seller updates
- Showing schedules
- Offer documentation
- Client gifts and thank-you follow-ups
“I Doubled My Listings and Didn’t Burn Out”
Noel D., Team Leader, Boston, MA
“As our team grew, I needed backend support to scale—but hiring in-house was too expensive. BBVA gave us two amazing VAs who now handle operations for 5 agents. I honestly don’t know how we functioned before.”
Tasks delegated:
- Agent support
- Weekly listing reports
- Social media scheduling
- Transaction coordination
The Common Threads in Every Testimonial
Across every story, certain benefits keep showing up:
✅ Peace of mind
✅ More listings, more closings
✅ Better client service
✅ Less burnout
✅ More time for family and freedom
Why BBVA Stands Out
While you can find virtual assistants on freelance platforms, BBVA provides:
- Pre-vetted Filipino talent
- Real estate-specific training
- Timezone-matched placements
- Built-in support for onboarding
- Only the top 2% of applicants accepted
Our VAs don’t just do the work—they care about the work. And our clients feel the difference.
