Questions
Below are some of the
more frequently asked questions that we have received. If after reading,
your question is still unanswered or you have learned all you needed to
know and are ready to get started, don't hesitate to contact us.
-
How is a Virtual
Assistant different from an in-house assistant?
In many ways, we are very similar. A Virtual Assistant can easily
accomplish almost any responsibility handled by traditional
assistant. The most obvious difference is that we don’t share office
space with you. As a Virtual Assistant, we work remotely from our
own well-equipped offices. A Virtual Assistant is more than just an
assistant in that we are genuinely interested in helping your
business succeed. We too, are small business owners and are
intimately familiar with the struggles, sacrifices, gratification,
and sense of accomplishment associated with owning and managing your
own business. Our business success is dependent on your business
success so it becomes a win-win partnership.
-
What does this
mean for my business?
When you partner with Realty Support Plus, we take over the
management of your routine marketing and administrative
responsibilities relieving you of these time-consuming, but
necessary tasks. This allows you to spend your valuable time
networking, meeting with clients, generating income, and growing
your business; not to mention the extra time you now have for
family, friends, and long-forgotten hobbies.
-
Can using a
Virtual Assistant really save money?
Absolutely! Consider the fact that the true cost of an employee is
2-3 times their annual salary. When you partner
with Realty Support Plus, you only pay for actual time on task and
incidental costs associated specifically with your project. You no
longer have to pay for health benefits, vacation and sick time,
training, office space, phones and voicemail for an assistant,
employee “downtime” or any number of other expenses associated with
hiring, training, and employing an in-house assistant.
-
If we are not
physically located in the same office, how do we work together?
We are fortunate to have access to cutting edge technology aiding
the flow of communication like never before. Using email, fax,
telephone, web conferencing, instant messaging, FTP and other
available technology, we can facilitate communication as easily as
if we were sitting in the office next door. As a general rule, we
make our services available to clients during normal business hours,
and will make every effort to accommodate special circumstances upon
request. If you need to send projects or information to us outside
of normal business hours, email and fax are available 24 hours, 7
days a week.
-
What do I need
to do to get started?
If you believe that working with a Virtual Assistant sounds like a
workable solution for your business, contact us for a complimentary
consultation. During this conversation, we will evaluate your
business needs, current systems, and expectations for the

a contract proposal including our business policies for your review.
Once we have received the signed agreement, let the work begin!
When evaluating whether
or not working with a Virtual Assistant is right for your business,
remember that great partnerships are born of common goals. If your
business could benefit from working with highly skilled, ethical, and
trustworthy professionals, we encourage you to
