Real Estate Virtual Assistant Service

About Real Estate Virtual Assistant Service

Outsource Workers is an Australian-based company that places trained virtual assistants, sourced from the Philippines, with real estate agents and agencies across Australia. The business was founded by someone with direct real estate experience, which shapes how they screen and train their VAs: the focus is on tasks a real estate agent actually needs covered, including data entry, inquiry management, lead list building, social media, documentation, and moving prospects through a sales funnel. Beyond real estate, the company states it now places VAs across any industry, though real estate clearly remains the core specialisation. The pricing model is unusually transparent. At $7.50 per hour, it sits firmly in the offshore-rate bracket you'd expect for Philippines-based staffing, and the company markets this directly to Australian buyers who are often unfamiliar with how to hire offshore independently. That framing, "we make it easier than doing it yourself", is essentially the value proposition: pre-screened, trained, dedicated workers without the buyer having to manage a full recruitment process from scratch. From a buyer's perspective, a few things are worth confirming before signing up. First, understand what "trained" actually means in practice, ask what the onboarding process looks like, how quickly a VA is ready to work in your specific systems, and what happens if the placement isn't a fit. Second, $7.50/hr is very competitive, but check what's included: is there a management fee, a setup charge, or a minimum contract period on top of that rate? Third, dedicated placement models like this tend to work well when the buyer has a reasonably documented process, if your workflow changes weekly or you have no clear SOPs for your VA to follow, even a well-trained assistant will struggle in the first 30 days. For a solo real estate agent or small agency that wants to free up time for client-facing work without building an offshore team from scratch, Outsource Workers is a plausible starting point. I'd want to see references from agents in a similar market or volume bracket before committing long-term.
