Real estate virtual assistant pricing varies by region and by scope. Vendors advertise roughly $3 to $12 an hour for offshore real estate VAs and $22 to $40 an hour for US-based ones, which works out to about $500 to $2,000 a month for most offshore full-time setups. We do not publish our own price because it depends on your volume and scope, but this page shows how the market prices the work, what moves the number, and how we scope yours.
Real estate virtual assistant cost by region
These figures come from VA agencies and staffing vendors, not from an audited survey, and they broadly agree with each other. Our full sourcing is in the real estate virtual assistant cost guide.
| Region | Advertised range | Source type |
|---|---|---|
| Philippines | $4-7/hr general admin, $6-12/hr real estate support | VA agency price table |
| Pakistan | $3-5/hr general, $5-10/hr specialized | Same agency table, thinner evidence |
| Latin America | $6-12/hr in Mexico and Colombia, or $900-$3,500+ a month | Agency and staffing vendors |
| United States | $22-40/hr for a real estate VA | VA agency price table |
Our delivery team is Pakistan-based, so weigh our view accordingly. The ranges above are why offshore teams are attractive, and also why the cheapest quote is rarely the right test.
What changes the price of a real estate VA
- Scope. CRM data entry and MLS work sit at the low end, while specialists in transaction coordination, lead follow-up or paid ads cost more.
- Hours. Part-time, full-time and project work are priced differently, and a monthly retainer can cost more per hour than the headline rate once you divide it out.
- Agency or direct hire. A freelancer has the lowest headline rate, but you do the screening, training and replacement. A managed team costs more per hour and handles those for you.
- Your platform. A BoldTrail, Lofty or GoHighLevel account that is already clean is cheaper to run than one that needs rebuilding first.
- Volume. More leads, more files or more channels means more hours.
Transaction coordinator, ISA and CRM VA pricing
Different roles are priced in different ways, which is why one hourly number rarely tells the story.
| Role | Published pricing |
|---|---|
| Transaction coordinator (US) | RISMedia (2023): $300-1,000+ per transaction, 1-3% of commission, or $25-50/hr |
| Transaction coordinator (offshore) | One agency advertises $300-600 per file, or $8.50-10.50/hr |
| In-house ISA | Jamil Academy: $36,000-60,000 base plus bonuses |
| Outsourced ISA seat | Jamil Academy: about $1,988-2,500 a month full time |
| CRM management | No published price. Vendors place CRM data entry at about $7-8.50/hr in the Philippines |
For the role comparison, read ISA vs virtual assistant and transaction coordinator vs virtual assistant. For the services themselves, see our transaction coordinator VA and CRM management VA.
How we scope and quote your work
We price the scope, not the hour. The process is short:
- A free consult. You tell us your CRM, your lead sources and where work is piling up.
- A clear scope. We write down what we will own, what stays with you and how we will report.
- 5 free VA hours. You see the work before you commit to anything.
- A number you can compare. Then you can put it next to the ranges above.
The same approach applies whether you need one CRM cleanup or an all-in-one package of CRM management, automations, social media and follow-up. See the real estate virtual assistant overview for what the team covers.
What the work looks like in practice
We will not quote client invoices. What we can say is what the work covered. For the Faruqi Team, we cleaned and re-tagged a 14,000-contact BoldTrail database and ran daily lead follow-up. Tammy Theis got Lofty account management and a 30-email nurture sequence. Susanna Castro’s deals ran through dotloop and SkySlope. Those are three very different scopes, and each would be priced differently.
Questions to ask any VA about pricing
- What is included in the monthly fee, and what is billed separately?
- Is the rate per hour, per file or per deliverable?
- Who replaces the assistant if they leave, and at what cost?
- How long is onboarding, and are those hours billed?
- Which CRMs has the person worked in daily?
- Can you try a paid test task before committing?
Is a virtual assistant worth it?
The honest test is simple. Work out what an hour of your own time is worth, then ask how many hours a VA frees for selling. If the freed hours go to follow-up and admin, the question is whether you close even one extra deal a year. Use your own average commission for that math, not ours. If the answer is not clear, a free consult costs nothing.
