The real estate industry has been around for more than fifty
years in the United States.
The arrival of the virtual assistant and the VA industry occurred in the 1990s
and has experienced a steady growth every year since its inception and is
expected to continue growing at a steady rate. There has been a significant
increase in the numbers of individuals choosing to start privately owned VA
practices as an alternative to the uncertainty of conditions in the workforce
today such as company downsizing and the outsourcing of jobs to the cheaper
labor markets in other countries.
A Real Estate Virtual assistant is an individual who agents outsource some work
and projects to that would require an agent to spend many hours in an office to
complete, when an agent needs to be outside the office working with clients,
vendors, contractors, and others in order to be a successful professional. Some
of that work includes maintaining client files, online transaction
coordination, receiving faxes, creating reports, developing and managing email
and other marketing campaigns, and even website designing, among other general
office work that agents often find themselves too busy to handle themselves.
The internet has impacted how transacting is done
today. The internet allows fast downloading and printing ant reports such as
listings, industry projections, market indicators, and much more. This has
created a wealth of information that is available for the agent to use in their
conducting of transactions, and provides consumers with more detailed
information than what was easily available to them before. Setting up different
programs to gather and organize this information takes some time and for this
reason, many agents today will outsource such work to a virtual assistant.
This is an interesting tidbit provided by the information that virtual
assistants taking an anonymous internet poll shared. Over 90 percent of those
who are working as a VA are women. Rising child care costs, the desire to work
from home, high income potential, and spending more time with family were the
most often given responses for why to choose to open a VA work at home offices.

. Another question in this anonymous polling of virtual
assistants asked respondents to share how much income they make yearly working
as an assistant. An averaging of the responses showed that the annual gross
income of a virtual assistant is around $29,000, with some making more than
$200,000 in annual gross income.
