Search Engine Tools - Learn - Rank - Dominate!


SEO Book.com is a leading SEO blog by Aaron Wall covering the search space. It offers marketing tips, search analysis, and whatever random rants come to mind. ;) The first version of my popular SEO Book came out in December of 2003. I have probably revised it about 50 times since then.

As a real estate virtual assistant your goal should be to stay on top of the latest programs and tools that will help your real estate clients to achieve their goals in staying on top of the search engines.

As everyone knows, buyers and sellers search the Internet now more than ever to research for homes for sale.

If a real estate agent is looking for virtual assistance then they will want a real estate virtual assistant who will know what is going on with today's technology and expect you to know how to help them position themselves in their market place.

What Services Do You Offer As A Real Estate Virtual Assistant

As the real estate market changes, so do the responsibilities of a real estate virtual assistant.

If you have been offering your services to real estate professionals for sometime now you might notice that when the market is busy, you are busy coordinating listings, leads, handling the transaction to ensure a successful closing. This might lead to not enough time to maintain the real estate professionals daily tasks or special projects.

When the real estate market is slow you might find yourself with a little more time on your hands. This is a great time to accomplish those long-term goals your clients might have had on the back burner.

Here is a list of some of the projects you can update or begin for your client to get them ready so when the real estate market turns around they are ready and they have the exposure to get the listings or the buyers.

1. Update their pre-listing package
2. Update their listing presentation
3. Update the content, photos, resume, and keywords/meta tags on their website
4. Review designations that might be of a benefit to them. There are news one coming out and you should be aware of them.
5. Organize and update their contact management program
6. Organize their computer files - You will need a program to access their computer. Something like www.LogMeIn.com or www.GoToMyPC.com are good one's.
7. Review and update their buyer and seller campaigns.
8. Create a blog & Submit to various blog directories.
9. Update their newsletter with new photos, new designations, market stats, etc.
10. Review programs that might prove to be a tremendous benefit to the real estate professional.
11. Set up their profile on social networking sites.
12. Review the direct marketing program.
13. Create templates for flyers, postcards, etc.
14. Update their testimonials. If they don't have any request them from past clients.
15. Explore other areas of their business to create a powerful marketing campaign for the local market as well as for the Internet.

As you can see there are a variety of ways that the real estate professional can use your services in a slow market. And, it is important to know how to do any of the services you offer or requested to perform.

Anyone can say they are a real estate virtual assistant, but can you walk the walk and talk the talk? If not, then you have a responsibility to learn and learn on your own time, not the agents.

If you are looking to add real estate services to your resume, but not sure where to begin then this is a good time to have a virtual assistant coach who can mentor you through the services you would like to offer.

And, if you are looking to offer real estate services now is a good time to focus on adding this to your resume and to your website.

The real estate market is slowly turning around as it always does, so get your real estate client ready so they stand out above the rest. They will truly appreciate your efforts.
