With so many responsibilities in the property management industry, it can be difficult to keep up with all of them. One way to help manage tasks and clients is by hiring a virtual assistant. While these contractors can benefit any business, their impact is especially noticeable during peak seasons like spring and summer for property managers.
Read on to learn more about what virtual assistants offer and how you can find the best one for your needs.
Experience in the Property Management Industry
Does it matter if your next virtual assistant has experience in the property management field? While prior knowledge of the industry can be helpful, it is not essential for finding and contracting excellent talent. Virtual assistants can be trained on the specific duties and tasks required for your business.
Don’t let a lack of prior experience stop you from hiring a VA and training them for a role that fits your needs!
VPM Solutions offers free training through VPM Academy, providing virtual assistants with access to over 30 specialized courses tailored to the property management industry. All VAs need to do is create a free profile to unlock these training resources. As VAs complete courses, they earn certificates, which you can review when hiring to ensure you’re selecting a VA with the right expertise.
Choosing our platform and virtual contractors means you receive well-trained talent every time!
What Languages Do They Speak?
Most virtual assistants on our platform speak English in addition to another language. This is especially beneficial for small business owners who need someone who can communicate with international clients or customers. VPM Solutions provides a wide selection of virtual assistants from all over the world who speak multiple languages, allowing you to find the perfect match for your business needs.
Are Virtual Assistants Expensive?
At VPM Solutions, we understand that hiring a virtual assistant can be a significant investment, especially for smaller businesses. That’s why we offer VAs a wide range of hourly rates to fit any budget.
Unlike other companies, we don't require a long-term contract. You can hire a virtual assistant for as little as one hour per week or as many hours as you need. So if your business is just starting or you're on a tight budget, you can find a VA to fit your needs.
