If you’re a real estate agent or builder in India, you already know how busy each day gets. Site visits, client calls, listing updates, documentation, follow-ups — it never ends. But what if someone could handle most of these routine tasks for you, while you focus on closing deals?
That’s where a Real Estate Virtual Assistant (VA) comes in. A virtual assistant is a remote professional who helps manage your backend and marketing work from anywhere — saving you time, energy, and money.
What Does a Real Estate Virtual Assistant Do?
Unlike a regular VA, a real estate VA understands the specific needs of property businesses. They’re trained to manage tasks like:
- Posting property listings on portals like 99acres, MagicBricks, Housing.com
- Managing leads from WhatsApp, website, or social media
- Scheduling site visits and meetings
- Creating brochures, flyers, or social media creatives
- Following up with potential buyers or tenants
- Maintaining a database of clients and properties
They work remotely and charge hourly or monthly, depending on the tasks.
Meet Rohit: A Real Story from Pune
Rohit is a property dealer in Pune who used to spend 12 hours a day managing listings, talking to leads, and updating Excel sheets. After hiring a real estate VA, his assistant started handling WhatsApp leads, posted regular updates on property sites, and even coordinated site visits. Within 2 months, Rohit closed 3 extra deals just because he had more time to meet clients personally.
Benefits of Hiring a Real Estate Virtual Assistant
Here’s how a VA can boost your real estate business:
- Time Saver: Focus on showings and negotiations while they handle admin work
- Low Cost: Pay only for the hours worked – no full-time salary needed
- Improved Efficiency: No missed calls or delayed follow-ups
- Professional Marketing: Get regular social media posts, property flyers, and WhatsApp templates
- Client Management: Maintain a clean CRM with updated contacts and property statuses

Cost of Hiring a Real Estate VA
Most Indian real estate VAs charge between ₹150 to ₹500 per hour, or ₹10,000–₹25,000 per month, depending on the tasks and experience. This is way more affordable than hiring a full-time assistant or office staff.
