I'll take the other side of this topic. As a Real Estate Virtual Assistant, this week I have:

-Pulled all MLS activity and added it to my client's monthly market update flyer - using a template I created 6 months ago
-Contacted leads via email for another client that are emailed to me daily
-Added said leads to client gateway in MLS and drip in Top Producer
-Added new listings to the wordpress site that I built for another client
-Coordinated the closing of 3 files for another
-Added listings to vflyer, postlets, craigslist etc. for multiple clients
-Designed a Prezi and a new newsletter (this was over the last 2 weeks)

This is a typical week in my company, with 2 VA's working together to bring high quality results to agents - hopefully it helps you decide the best way to work with a VA!

Hi Elizabeth,

Even though you've already hired your VA, please be careful! As a Realtor, you should only be working with a VA who has at least two years of experience working inside a real estate office - otherwise they really don't understand the process, and you may find that you'll spend too much training them - something you will almost never have to do with an experienced REVA.

If you've already hired a VA without experience, take the time to plan out step-by-step processes and document exactly how you want tasks completed. The little bit of extra time you spend up front, will ease many headaches in the long run.
