How much does a real estate virtual assistant cost?

About $21,600 a year full time for lead follow-up and general coordination, rising toward $25,200 for someone running transactions end to end. The same roles in the United States run roughly $48,000 to $55,000.

Can a virtual assistant do transaction coordination?

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons teams hire one. They track dates, chase documents and keep every party moving. What they cannot do is any task your state reserves for a licensed agent, so check your own rules before you write the job description.

Do they work in my customer relationship manager and multiple listing service?

They work in whatever you use, and hands-on experience with your specific stack is something to screen for rather than assume. Access to a multiple listing service is governed by your local board rules, so that part is set by your association, not by us.

Will they call my leads?

That is usually the point. Everyone we place is screened for spoken English, and for a client-facing real estate role we run a voice interview before anyone reaches you.

Hire a Real Estate Virtual Assistant from Latin America

A real estate virtual assistant from Latin America costs roughly $21,600 to $25,200 a year full time, against $48,000 to $55,000 for the same hire in the United States.

This is an administrative role with a specific shape. The value is not general help, it is the follow-up nobody in a producing team has time for. The rest of this page covers what the role actually runs, what to screen for, and what it costs.

What a real estate assistant runs day to day

Lead follow-up: working new inquiries the same day, chasing the ones that went quiet, and keeping the pipeline in your customer relationship manager honest.

Listing coordination: preparing listing paperwork, scheduling photography, and keeping listing details consistent everywhere they appear.
Showing and calendar logistics, including the back and forth with other agents and with clients.
Database and marketing work: past-client touch campaigns, review requests, and the monthly report you keep meaning to build.

What to screen for in a real estate assistant

Test the phone voice, not the resume
This role calls your leads and your clients. Run a live voice interview and listen for how they sound when interrupted, because that is what a seller hears on a Tuesday afternoon.
Name your systems in the brief
Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, Sierra, Dotloop, SkySlope and the local multiple listing service are all different jobs in practice. Naming yours cuts the shortlist to people who can be useful in week one.
Keep licensed work with licensed people
An assistant can prepare, chase and organize. Anything that amounts to giving advice, negotiating on your behalf, or the tasks your state reserves for a licensee stays with you. Check your own state rules before you write the job description.
Bilingual is worth more here than almost anywhere
A native Spanish speaker with strong English covers a whole segment of buyers and sellers most teams handle badly. Say so in the brief and we screen for it directly.

How hiring a real estate assistant works here

1
One 15-minute call
You describe the role, the hours you need covered and the tools. We tell you honestly whether nearshore fits it.
2
Vetted shortlist in 2-4 weeks
Skills, spoken English and background checked before anyone reaches you. You run the interviews.
3
One agreement, and they start
You sign a Master Services Agreement with us. We engage and pay the professional; they work as part of your team, month to month.

Plan for about a two-week ramp once they start, and own that part: training, context, clear expectations and access to your systems. We stay involved after the placement, so if something goes wrong on either side we mediate rather than leaving you to it.
