The 5 Skills Your Real Estate VA Needs To Support Your Business

Most Realtors hit the same wall. The moment things get busy, messages start slipping, updates go out late, and clients feel the lag. It is not for lack of effort. It is because you cannot be everywhere at once, and you do not have the right support to handle the work that eats up your day.

After 20 years in real estate and helping more than 1,400 families, I’ve run both the big-team and lean models. The lean model won. Today, my business is run by two US-based staff members and four virtual assistants. That shift showed me something important. When your support system is trained the right way, you stop playing catch-up and start staying ahead.

That is why I built The Leveraged Agent Virtual Assistant Training. It teaches VAs the exact skills they need to keep your business moving, your clients updated, and your pipeline organized. When these tasks are handled for you, you stay focused on revenue, not reaction.

The training covers five areas that make a VA actually beneficial in a real estate business.

1. Communicating in your voice. Your VA learns how to respond inside your CRM as you. Quick replies. Clean updates. No more three-hour gaps because you were in back-to-back appointments. A simple “I’m in a meeting, I’ll get back to you shortly” keeps clients calm and deals moving. Nothing sits unread.

2. CRM organization that keeps your pipeline alive. Tags. Stages. Workflows. Pipelines. Most agents skip the setup, then wonder why leads slip through the cracks. A trained VA keeps the whole system organized, so you always know where every client stands. You stay focused on conversations that turn into closings.

3. Scheduling everything for you. Showings, walkthroughs, agent-to-agent coordination, and appointment management. Whether it runs through Showami, Aligned, or ShowingTime, your VA handles it. The rule is simple. If it does not directly make you money, they take it off your plate.

4. Transaction support that keeps deals on track. Your VA is not your transaction coordinator, but they support your TC. They filter messages, flag priorities, pull what is needed, and keep communication clean. You walk out of a meeting and already know what requires your attention.

5. Creating Comparable Market Analysis (CMA) reports. Your VA pulls the comps, creates the framework, and prepares CMAs for offers, listings, and past clients. You review, fine-tune, and send. They handle the heavy lift. You handle the expert touch.

The training runs for two weeks, and there are optional weekly support calls for ongoing guidance. The goal is simple. Give your VA the skills that buy you time, protect your communication, and tighten your workflow.
