At One Agency we’re all about finding ways to run a real estate business more economically, so today we look at the rise of the Virtual Assistant (VA) and when they become a viable option for real estate agents.

A virtual workforce is about supply, demand, and flexibility of use.

How Annette Pinkerton, from One Agency, engages a VA’s

When Annette Pinkerton, a One Agency member based in Newcastle, joined us five years ago, she recognised that a VA would be a critical component to the way she operated. Annette shares;

“For me, it was a very practical business decision. I identified that a Virtual Assistant could be taking care of the highly repetitive work, freeing me up to list and sell more properties!

“The best part is that while I am out spending time with clients, everything else bubbles away in the background.

“Many real estate agents become trapped managing their own administrative tasks, often only getting to these at night. But I wanted to ensure I could maintain a good work/life balance.”
