A virtual real estate assistant provides administrative support to real estate agents or other industry professionals, such as a mortgage loan underwriter. As a virtual real estate assistant, you complete your job duties from home or another remote location. Your responsibilities may include managing property listings in the MLS database, handling transaction paperwork, preparing contracts and proposals, reviewing legal documents, and coordinating communication between parties. Because this is a virtual position, you must be self-motivated and keep your supervisor updated on the progress of your projects. Virtual real estate assistants also need strong computer skills and a reliable internet connection.
