Why Hire from the Philippines?
The Philippines has been the world's top outsourcing destination for over a decade. For real estate professionals, it offers a unique combination of English fluency, US-aligned work culture, and deep industry experience — at a fraction of the cost.
High English Proficiency
The Philippines ranks among the top English-speaking countries globally. Filipino VAs communicate fluently in American English, making client calls, emails, and documentation seamless.
Timezone Flexibility
Night-shift culture is deeply embedded in the Philippine BPO industry. Your VA can work US business hours — EST, CST, PST — without any adjustment period.
Real Estate Experience Pool
Thousands of Filipino professionals have direct experience with US real estate processes, MLS systems, and transaction workflows from years in the BPO sector.
70–80% Cost Savings
Hire a skilled real estate VA for $5–$12/hr instead of $25–$35/hr for a US-based equivalent. That's $30,000–$50,000 in annual savings per hire.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a real estate virtual assistant cost?+
Filipino real estate VAs typically charge $5–$12 per hour depending on specialization. A general admin VA starts around $5–$8/hr, while a transaction coordinator or ISA with CRM experience ranges from $8–$12/hr. On JobTayo, you pay a one-time $10 job posting fee with zero commissions or ongoing platform fees.
What tasks can a real estate VA handle?+
A real estate VA can manage transaction coordination, MLS listings, CRM updates (Follow Up Boss, KVCore, Sierra), lead qualification, cold calling, social media marketing, showing coordination, CMA preparation, email drip campaigns, and document compliance. They essentially handle everything except physically showing properties.
Is it legal to hire a virtual assistant from the Philippines?+
Yes, it is completely legal. Filipino VAs work as independent contractors. You don't need to set up a Philippine business entity. You simply agree on terms, pay via international transfer (Wise, PayPal, or direct bank), and they handle their own taxes locally.
How do I manage a virtual assistant in a different timezone?+
Most Filipino VAs are experienced working US business hours due to the country's strong BPO culture. Use tools like Slack, Zoom, Loom, and project management platforms (Asana, Trello) for daily check-ins. Start with a 2-week onboarding period with daily standups, then transition to weekly reviews.
What's the difference between a real estate VA and a transaction coordinator?+
A real estate VA handles broad administrative tasks — scheduling, CRM updates, social media, lead follow-up. A transaction coordinator (TC) specializes in managing the contract-to-close process: tracking contingencies, coordinating with escrow/title, managing deadlines, and ensuring compliance. Many Filipino VAs can do both.
How do I pay a Filipino virtual assistant?+
The most common payment methods are Wise (formerly TransferWise), PayPal, and direct bank transfers. Wise typically offers the best exchange rates. Most VAs invoice bi-weekly or monthly. On JobTayo, payment is handled directly between you and your hire — we never take a cut.
Can a real estate VA do cold calling?+
Absolutely. Many Filipino VAs specialize as Inside Sales Agents (ISAs) and are trained in cold calling expired listings, FSBOs, circle prospecting, and appointment setting. They use dialers like Mojo, REDX, and Vulcan7. Expect to pay $6–$10/hr for experienced cold callers.
How many hours should I hire a real estate VA for?+
Most agents start with 20 hours per week for general admin and lead follow-up. If you're a team or brokerage, 40 hours is common for transaction coordination. Start part-time, measure ROI after 30 days, then scale up. Even 10 hours/week can free up significant time for revenue-generating activities.
What tools should my real estate VA know?+
Key tools include MLS platforms (Bright MLS, CRMLS), CRMs (Follow Up Boss, KVCore, Sierra, LionDesk), transaction management (Dotloop, SkySlope, Brokermint), marketing (Canva, Mailchimp, Buffer), dialers (Mojo, REDX), and general tools (Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, Asana).
How do I train a real estate virtual assistant?+
Record your processes using Loom videos. Create SOPs in Google Docs for recurring tasks. Use a 2-week structured onboarding: Week 1 for shadowing and tool access, Week 2 for supervised independent work. Many Filipino VAs already know US real estate workflows, so training time is often shorter than expected.
