What is a Virtual Assistant?

You have gotten busy at work and are overwhelmed with all of the work you have to do, but don’t have time for. Or maybe you want to start working on things, such as online marketing, that you aren’t sure how to do. Whatever the reason, you have come to this post by searching for information on Virtual Assistants.  So what is a virtual assistant (VA), and how can they help you?

Virtual assistants are becoming increasingly more popular every year. More people are working from home, and more people are saving on overhead by using a VA who works from home. Virtual assistants are mostly independent contractors, and not employees. There are individuals who can market themselves as virtual assistants and do all of their own work. And then there are companies, such as BizEBee Virtual Assistants, that have a “staff” of virtual assistants who they contract work out to.

Virtual assistants can offer a variety of skill sets depending on what you are looking for. If you are looking for somebody to do your administrative work, such as organizing your emails, responding to emails, and maybe even sending out mailings, you may be able to use one VA for all of that. If you are looking on more of a broad spectrum, you may want to look into a company who has many virtual assistants who work with them.  The reason for this is that nobody can know everything there is to know. If you have a team of VA, there will be somebody within that team who can accomplish what you are looking for. In this way it is much better to hire a virtual assistant company.

At BizEBee Virtual Assistants, we work mostly with real estate professionals. Real estate is a very demanding business and includes many different aspects. This can include marketing, transaction coordination, listings, branding, calling, and database management. One person may not know how to accomplish all of these items. How it would work is that your Dedicated Assistant will find the virtual assistant within the company who excels at a specific task. This person would complete the specific task. The main benefit of using a virtual assistant company is that there will always be somebody who can do the specified task for you.
