This page [Real estate agents & teams](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/) [Virtual assistant services](https://assistbpo.com/services/virtual-assistant/) Updated September 2026 ## How does a virtual assistant work for real estate? A typical day starts with your pending files: which contingencies expire this week, which signatures are outstanding in Dotloop, which lender needs a nudge. Then the listing side: photos ordered, the MLS entry drafted from your notes, the sign and lockbox scheduled. Between those, the assistant works your Follow Up Boss action plans, sends showing feedback to sellers, orders closing gifts and posts the just-listed graphic you approved. Everything lands in an end-of-day report: handled, waiting on you, tomorrow's plan. You keep the licensed work, negotiating, pricing advice and showings. We take the rest. Plain definition ## What are managed virtual assistant services? Managed virtual assistant services provide a remote assistant who is recruited, employed, trained and supervised by a staffing company rather than hired directly as a freelancer. You get a named person for a block of hours each month, a backup for continuity and a team lead who reviews quality. The provider handles payroll, equipment, security and replacement so you only handle the work. ## What tasks does a virtual assistant cover for real estate agents and teams? - Open each new file in Dotloop or SkySlope with the full contract timeline - Chase signatures, disclosures and earnest money receipts before deadlines - Order photography, draft the MLS listing and load the disclosure package - Keep MLS status, price and showing instructions current - Work Follow Up Boss action plans and past-client touches daily - Send showing feedback to sellers and weekly status notes to buyers - Prepare CMA packets and listing presentation binders from your template - Order closing gifts, request reviews and log commission disbursements ## The KPI that matters here Files that close on the contract date without a paperwork extension, and hours you spend on admin per closed deal. Both are on the weekly review agenda. ## What rules does a virtual assistant follow for real estate? 1. **TCPA for lead follow-up.** Internet leads are called and texted only with the consent their form captured, inside the 8am to 9pm local window, after do-not-call scrubbing, under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act enforced by the FCC. State mini-TCPAs in Florida, Oklahoma and Washington are applied by area code. 2. **Fair Housing in marketing.** Listing descriptions, social posts and ad copy avoid protected-class language under the Fair Housing Act enforced by HUD. Your assistant works from a checked word list and flags anything borderline to you before it goes live. 3. **Unlicensed activity limits.** Assistants do not negotiate terms, quote commission, advise on price or show property. Those stay with the licensed agent under your state real estate commission's rules. We handle the admin around them. 4. **RESPA and referral fees.** No referral fee arrangements and no vendor kickbacks. Vendor recommendations go out as a list, and any affiliated business disclosure you require travels with the file, following RESPA rules enforced by the CFPB. ## Real estate software we work in - [Follow Up Boss](https://assistbpo.com/software/follow-up-boss/) - [kvCORE](https://assistbpo.com/software/kvcore/) - [Dotloop](https://assistbpo.com/software/dotloop/) - [Canva](https://assistbpo.com/software/canva/) - [Google Workspace](https://assistbpo.com/software/google-workspace/) Also in use - SkySlope - ShowingTime - MLS [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for real estate agents and teams Other services for real estate - [Virtual receptionist](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/virtual-receptionist/) - [Appointment scheduling](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/appointment-scheduling/) - [Customer support](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [Email management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/email-management/) - [Calendar management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/calendar-management/) - [Data entry](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/data-entry/) - [The real estate pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/) Virtual assistant in other industries - [Property management companies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/virtual-assistant/) - [Construction & development](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/virtual-assistant/) - [Recruiting & staffing agencies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/recruiting-agencies/virtual-assistant/) - [SaaS & startups](https://assistbpo.com/industries/saas-startups/virtual-assistant/) - [The full virtual assistant page](https://assistbpo.com/services/virtual-assistant/) ## Frequently asked questions ### What can a real estate assistant do without a license? Transaction coordination, listing entry and maintenance, CRM work, scheduling, marketing, research and client updates that relay facts. What they cannot do is negotiate, advise on price or terms, interpret contract language for a client, show property or host an open house alone. Your state real estate commission draws the line and we stay on the admin side of it. Anything a client asks that crosses it is routed to you with a note. ### Will the assistant know my brokerage's forms? Most likely, and if not, quickly. Our real estate assistants have worked with state association forms, brokerage addenda and transaction platforms such as Dotloop and SkySlope. During onboarding your team lead records your file checklist, your brokerage compliance requirements and your preferred order of operations, and the assistant runs the first two files with a second check before going solo. ### How do you handle a busy spring versus a slow January? The assistant's hours are fixed, so the work changes rather than the bill. In slow months the focus shifts to database cleanup, past-client touches, listing presentation refreshes and marketing. In busy months the team lead can add a second assistant or lean on the backup at short notice to absorb extra files. Plans depend on hours, desks and coverage.
