Can estate agency be done remotely? Absolutely it can. I believe this because I’ve been supporting estate agents virtually for the past few years.
I’ve experienced first-hand how valuable the right assistant can be to property businesses. Remote work opens up a huge talent pool all over the country (and world) which increases the chances of finding the right fit for your business, rather than limiting yourself to hiring in your local area.
There are so many tasks within estate agency that can be outsourced. And there are assistants out there with the right skills, work ethic and property experience to add serious value to your business.
Here are just a few examples of what your estate agency or property business can outsource:
– Setting up and managing viewings
– Rightmove and Zoopla listings
– Typing up instructions
– Conducting vendor care and viewing feedback
– Negotiating offers
– Handling property enquiries
– Managing all aspects of sales and lettings administration
– Sending out documentation and letters including MOS
– Managing AML checks and gathering the necessary ID
– Marketing support including social media
– Business development tasks, touting, lead generation
– Carrying out viewings
– Installing key safes
– Carrying out property inspections and inventories
– Taking photos and videos
– Taking inbound calls
– Making outbound calls
– Tenant management
– Maintenance management
And much more.
