When selecting a Virtual Assistant, it's crucial to understand the differences between our approach and that of traditional agencies. At LVA, we pride ourselves on providing a practical and cost-effective solution specifically tailored for CRE brokers in need of high-quality virtual assistants. Traditional agencies might initially appear more affordable, but often, they come with higher hourly rates ranging from $15 to $23, accompanied by both upfront and hidden fees, and require a commitment to long-term contracts. In contrast, LVA offers a transparent and straightforward model. We charge a one-time fee without any concealed costs, making it easier for you to plan your budget and achieve substantial savings in the long run. Choosing LVA allows CRE brokers to access dependable and competent virtual assistant services, ensuring an economical partnership without the concerns of additional setup fees or escalating hourly charges. With LVA, you are not dealing with an intermediary agency; instead, you have a direct contract and work relationship with your virtual assistant.

Helping CRE Brokers unlock the power of incorporating a skilled VA into their CRE team. Allowing them to buy back their time for what matters, increase their productivity, and achieve a streamlined business operation.

The LeveragedVA Program offers a cost-effective solution for CRE Brokers looking to hire skilled Virtual Assistants (VAs) from the Philippines. Our approach focuses on simplicity and efficiency. Instead of acting as an agency, we facilitate the process of finding, interviewing, and hiring a VA, allowing brokers to work directly with their chosen assistant.

This direct hiring model helps to reduce costs for CRE Brokers, as there are no recurring agency fees or high hourly rates, which typically range from $15 to $20 per hour with traditional VA services. Additionally, the LeveragedVA method allows VAs to earn a better salary.

Our service includes comprehensive training and support for both the CRE Broker and the VA, ensuring a productive working relationship. The LeveragedVA Program is available for a one-time fee, covering the entire hiring process without any hidden costs. This approach aims to provide a more straightforward and cost-effective solution for CRE Brokers seeking professional assistance.

You'll be surprised how much a VA can do for a CRE Broker. They don't need a RE license to make a huge difference in your day-to-day business. They can handle, efficiently, many tasks from market research, cold calling owners and tenants, responding to Crexi leads, data entry, CRM management, updating property listings, marketing (SM, flyers, etc.), and general administrative duties. The best thing they can do for you is buy back your time by managing your schedule, handling emails, and even assisting in client communications. All this gives you the freedom to focus on strategic aspects of your business and spend more time with those you love.

When I first hired a VA from the Philippines for my CRE business, the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to utilize their skills effectively. The real advantage of a VA is understanding how they can help you reclaim your time. It's crucial not to view a VA simply as another employee, as this approach can lead to more work for you. Instead, focus on delegating those smaller, yet time-consuming tasks to someone you can trust. You'll be amazed how this shift allows you to concentrate more on the critical aspects of your business.

Our program is designed to assist you in identifying where your time is currently invested, determining which tasks are best suited for your VA, and setting up clear systems and processes. This structure not only enhances your VA's efficiency but also strengthens your working relationship, leading to greater productivity and focus in your business.

This question comes up a lot. There is no right or wrong answer. It comes down to what works best for you and your VA. There is a significant time zone difference between your location and Filipino Virtual Assistants (VAs), which can be around 12 to 16 hours. While this might initially seem challenging, it actually isn't a major issue due to the flexibility of Filipino VAs. Many VAs are often willing to adapt their work schedules to meet your business needs, demonstrating one of the key benefits of working with VAs from the Philippines. They are used to being adaptable to different time zones.

Example: Our Team Manager works a night shift, which is our 8am - 5pm our time here in the US. Our Website Developer works an overlap schedule, which is our 2:00pm - 5:00pm and works the remaining 5 hours while we're sleeping.

I often get this question and my answer is, no. A real estate license is not a requirement. While knowledge of the industry is beneficial, many tasks a VA can handle don't necessitate a real estate license. They can, however, be trained on industry specifics to better support you.

Consistent communication is key when working with your VA. There are great tools available to make your communication seamless, quick and easy. It will feel like your VA is in the next room over versus being on the other side of the world. Open and clear communication ensures a smooth working relationship with your VA. We discuss these tools and strategies in detail inside the program that make the entire communication process a win/win for you and your VA.

The VA you choose will be your direct employee, and you will pay them directly once they're hired. The LeveragedVA fee is a one-time fee with no additional payments outside the $3,000. Our program eliminates the middleman, allowing you to keep more money in your pocket while offering a hiring salary for your VA.

We walk you through all the steps needed to pay your VA. We show you how and when to pay your VA, what payment system(s) work the best (not Paypal!), invoice templates to keep track of payments and other incentives to keep your VA motivated.

Yes. This is possible. There is flexibility here. Many VA’s prefer to work your US schedule. Depending on what you want & need, some VA’s can have a 3-4 hour overlap each day. We can source a VA that can work with your schedule.

Our selection process usually takes 14-21 days, influenced by factors like required experience level, candidate availability, and how quickly we receive necessary information from you. The role's complexity and our comprehensive vetting may also impact this timeline. We aim for a balance of speed and thoroughness, ensuring a suitable match for your needs, and will keep you informed throughout the process.

This will depend on your agreement with your VA as to which holidays to follow. You can decide whether your VA follows the Philippine Holidays or your preferred holidays. We suggest giving your VA a paid holiday for both theirs as well as yours.

While it's uncommon, we understand that sometimes a chosen Virtual Assistant (VA) may not meet your expectations. To address this, we offer a comprehensive 10-Day Guarantee. Should you find yourself dissatisfied with the initial selection of candidates, we will present you with an additional three (3) candidates at no additional charge. If, after reviewing the second group of candidates, you still find it difficult to make a decision, we can assist further for a separate 'VA Finder' processing fee. However, please note that we do not offer a money-back guarantee. This policy ensures that we are committed to finding the right match for your needs while maintaining a fair process for all parties involved.

Yes, once inside the program, you'll have access to our resource library. The training is broken into separate categories that can be completed at your pace, in any order you see fit. The training is tailored to help your VA get acclimated to commercial real estate (CRE), but there are sections dedicated only for the CRE Broker. We are always looking for ways to improve our program. If there is a specific training you wish to see or any comments you think would would help, let us know and we're happy to figure out a way to include it in our next update.

The LeveragedVA program has a straightforward, one-time fee. This fee includes everything: the course, training materials, a tailored VA finder service, access to a community, and ongoing support. We'll provide three (3) top VA candidates for you to interview, and you can hire as many of them as you like — one, two, or all three — without any hidden or extra costs. Our pricing is designed to be clear and offer great value, giving you the flexibility to build your team without worrying about additional expenses.
