Hire a real estate virtual assistant for your agency

We recruit full-time real estate virtual assistants in the Philippines and Sri Lanka who handle listings, CRM updates, vendor reports and admin for Australian agencies. Your licensed agents keep the appraisals, negotiations and client advice.

Quick answer

How much does an offshore real estate virtual assistant cost?

A full-time offshore real estate virtual assistant costs a monthly salary plus our fee. Salaries typically run A$700–1,050 a month in Sri Lanka and A$1,300–1,900 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. Assistants with Australian agency or property management experience sit at the top of each range.

What the role covers

The admin behind every listing, done

Agents lose hours each week to listing uploads, database updates and reports. A dedicated assistant takes that work so agents can spend time with buyers and vendors.

Listings and marketing

Prepare listing copy, upload to the portals and coordinate photos, floor plans and signboards.

CRM and database

Log enquiries and inspection attendees, update contacts and keep pipelines current.

Vendor reporting

Prepare weekly campaign reports with enquiry and inspection numbers.

Appraisal preparation

Pull comparable sales and prepare appraisal packs for your agents.

Property management admin

Process maintenance requests, book tradespeople and chase arrears reminders within your rules.

Social and email campaigns

Schedule just-listed and just-sold posts and newsletters.

Real Estate Virtual Assistant FAQ

Common questions

Two colleagues planning work at a whiteboard
What can a real estate VA do without a licence?

Administrative and marketing support: listings, CRM updates, reports, scheduling and correspondence under your direction. Work that needs a licence or registration, such as appraisals given to clients, negotiating or signing agreements, stays with your licensed agents. Check the rules in your state.

Can they help with property management?

Yes. Assistants can process maintenance requests, book tradespeople, send reminders and keep PropertyMe or Console records current, within the limits you set.

Do they know Australian real estate software?

Many Philippines candidates have worked for Australian agencies on Rex, VaultRE or PropertyMe. Name your systems and we test on them.

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 on Setup of Record or $350 a month on 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.

How do agencies usually start?

Most agencies start with one assistant for listings, CRM and vendor reports, then add a second for property management admin as the workload grows.
