Real Estate Virtual Assistant

 Talk about a milestone! Please forgive me a head of time if this sounds like self-promotion..but well it is! I am honored to say that I have been chosen as the Featured REVA of the Month for the International Real Estate Virtual Assistants Association or the IREAA for short.

"The International Real Estate Assistant Association, or IREAA™ for short, is the first organization for Real Estate Assistants and Real Estate Virtual Assistants. Formerly known as CyberStarVA, IREAA™ is dedicated to supporting the real estate assistant, either virtual or on-site, through education, training and collaboration." (IREAA.com)

This group of real estate professionals is lead by founding members of our industry who have coached, inspired, trained and shared so much of their experience, knowledge and growth to lead the way to high standards of our industry!

Many thanks goes out to Kim Hughes, Anna Baron, (The Virtual Link) , and Pam Ivey, (Visual Persuasions Canada) for their unwavering support in my endeavors to provide quality virtual real estate support to real estate professionals nationwide.

I'm very honored, and encourage ALL Real Estate Assistants, virtual or not, to check out this wonderful organization, for the un-matched training and support.

Communicating virtually can sometimes be a challenge! In today's technology driven real estate market the more efficient I can be at communicating, and explaining is vital to productivity, so yes, I'm always on the look-out for tools and techniques, and I found another one that I love, and finally put to good use this past week. The Jing Project. This free program allows me to visually record my computer screen, and my voice at the same time allowing me to send the video via email, blog etc.

I have clients that are a Top Producing Team of 5, a Mega Team that have joined together at the first of the year. Very busy as usual, communication to all 5 team members can yes, be my ultimate challenge! Our goal this year was to get the team to start blogging on their individual and team blogs. But, not having as much time to sit and walk them through this new concept in person left me trying to find a way to walk them through posting, logging in, adding photos, media etc. Bring in the Jing Project!

First of all...a little about me. I like tools that are free and have short learning curve. I signed up quickly for a free account, downloaded the software, took the video tour, and that was it! I was able to record a "blogging tutorial", with my voice, and send it on its way to all five members of the team!

Because of this tool, I was able to communicate directly and efficiently...and more importantly..VIRTUALLY!
