Hire an offshore property management virtual assistant
We recruit full-time property management virtual assistants in Sri Lanka and the Philippines who handle maintenance requests, arrears follow-up, routine inspection bookings and tenancy paperwork for Australian rent rolls. Your licensed property managers keep the landlord relationships, the decisions and the tribunal work.
Quick answer
How much does an offshore property management virtual assistant cost?
A full-time offshore property management virtual assistant costs a monthly salary plus our fee. Salaries typically run A$750–1,100 a month in Sri Lanka and A$1,300–2,000 in the Philippines. Our fee is either $5,999 + GST once (then $0 or $350 a month) or $1,000 a month with no upfront fee. Australian rent roll experience sits at the top of each range.
What the role covers
The rent roll admin that never stops
A dedicated assistant works through the daily queue behind every managed property, inside your trust accounting and tenancy software and within the limits you set. Your property managers stay the face of the business to owners and tenants.
Maintenance requests
Log tenant requests, get quotes from your approved trades, book work orders within owner limits and follow up until the job is closed.
Arrears follow-up
Run the daily arrears report and send reminders and notices on your schedule, then flag anything that needs a property manager.
Routine inspections
Book inspections with tenants, prepare the run sheet and turn photos and notes into the report the owner receives.
Leasing admin
Answer enquiries, book viewings, process applications, run reference checks and prepare leases for the property manager to approve.
Bonds, entry and exit
Lodge and claim bonds through the state portal, prepare entry and exit condition reports and set up new tenancies in your software.
Owner reporting
Prepare monthly statements, renewal and rent review letters and insurance or compliance reminders such as smoke alarm checks.

Property Management Virtual Assistant FAQ
Common questions
Can they do the work of a licensed property manager?
No. They handle admin within your processes. Licensed tasks such as signing agency agreements, giving advice to owners and representing you at the tribunal stay with your licensed staff in Australia.
How is this different from a real estate virtual assistant?
A real estate virtual assistant mostly supports sales: listings, CRM and vendor reports. A property management assistant works the rent roll: maintenance, arrears, inspections, leasing and bonds. Agencies with both a sales and a rent roll team often hire one of each.
Will they work in our trust accounting software?
Yes. They work in your PropertyMe, Console Cloud or PropertyTree login with the permissions you set. Many agencies keep trust account disbursements with an Australian staff member and give the assistant everything else.
Can they do routine inspections?
They can't attend in person, but they can book inspections, prepare the run sheet and write the report from your photos and notes, which is usually most of the time an inspection takes.
How much does it cost in total?
Add the monthly salary to our fee. Ready for You is $5,999 + GST once, then $0 a month if you employ them or $350 a month if we employ them as Employer of Record. Managed for You is $1,000 a month on a 12-month commitment with no recruitment fee. IT options are extra and quoted with your role.
