Looking for property manager/virtual assistant

[Katrina Kubicina]

Good morning,

I am looking for an administrative assistant, virtual assistant, property manager type of person!  Ideally someone who is familiar with airbnb/vrbo.  Instead of hiring a local property management company and paying 20% which we just simply cant afford, I was hoping to hire someone to help with day to day stuff and just give them a commission off each booking.  What is fair? 8-10%?  

Hoping to find someone who can handle marketing, social media, calendars, bookings, communications between guests, and sending out rental agreements.  If you can help us with taxes too that would be a huge plus.  I need someone very friendly for our guests but business minded and professional.

If interested or have any suggestions please let me know!  Thanks,

Katrina

I hired my first VA back in April, and he has been a dream. We used onlinejobs.ph to find someone. You could probably find a few folks who are skilled in all areas and pay them fairly for the work they do. Many list different skills, such as Airbnb/VRBO experience, as well as accounting experience. If you hire full time, you will be able to teach them the skills you need. I would say stick to a real estate CPA for taxes, but for the other work you listed, you could find some skilled workers there.

Just an add on - I read through all 110+ applications and resumes I received. I interviewed over email several times to get an idea of their written English, then interviewed over the phone for my last 6 I narrowed it down to. I specifically wanted someone for overnights, and that is day in the Philippines, so it worked out nicely.
