Maximize the Efficiency & Profitability of Your Real Estate with a Virtual Property Manager

Also known as virtual property managers, virtual property management assistants are skilled professionals who provide remote assistance to property owners, real estate investors, and property managers. 

By delegating administrative tasks to virtual property management assistants, property managers can focus on higher-level management tasks. Delegating tasks also allows investors to focus on growing their portfolios rather than managing the day-to-day operations of their properties. 

Virtual assistant property managers (VA PMs) leverage technology and virtual communication tools to perform a wide range of tasks, ensuring smooth and efficient property management operations. By working remotely, VA PMs offer flexibility and cost-effectiveness, making them an ideal choice for property owners and managers seeking to streamline their operations. 

While they bear some resemblance to real estate virtual assistants, VA PMs focus on providing remote support to owners and managers of property. Real estate virtual assistants, in contrast, provide remote support to real estate agents and brokers who’re trying to sell properties. 

Virtual property management is one of our specialities here at Sigrid. Your dedicated Sigrid Virtual Property Management Assistant can manage all administrative tasks related to running your properties. This gives you the headspace to focus on strategic and revenue-generating tasks.

Types of Property  that Can be Managed by Virtual Property Managers

Virtual property managers can remotely manage different types of residential, commercial, and industrial property. 

Residential properties include single-family homes, apartments, condominiums, townhouses, and vacation rentals (including Airbnb rentals). On the commercial and industrial side, virtual property managers can oversee office buildings, retail spaces, industrial complexes, and mixed-use developments. 

Regardless of property type, virtual property management assistants can adapt their expertise to handle the unique demands of each property type.

Tasks that Can Be Delegated to Virtual Property Management Assistants

VA PMs are adept at handling numerous tasks remotely, allowing property managers to focus on higher-level responsibilities. These tasks and responsibilities include:

Tenant & Lease Management

VA PMs can handle tenant screening, lease agreement preparation, rent collection, eviction processing, as well as tenant issues and complaints. They ensure that tenants are satisfied, reducing vacancies and turnover.

Maintenance & Repairs

Property maintenance—including scheduling repairs, coordinating with contractors, and handling maintenance requests—can be efficiently managed by virtual property management assistants. This ensures that properties are well-maintained and minimizes tenant disruptions.

Vendor Screening

Your VA PM can screen all potential vendors and contractors—including security companies, construction companies, exterminators, and handymen. They can also handle all contracts and invoice payments.

Financial Management

VA PMs can assist with financial tasks, such as rent accounting, budgeting, expense tracking, and generating financial reports. By keeping meticulous records using the best accounting, bookkeeping, and expense management software, they help their clients stay organized and make better financial decisions.

Marketing & Advertising

Effective marketing is necessary for attracting new tenants and lessees. VA PMs can create compelling property listings, advertise vacancies on various platforms, respond to inquiries, and schedule property showings. Their proficiency in utilizing property management software helps streamline these processes.

If you have a website and social media accounts, your VA PM can manage your blog and social media posts. They’ll disseminate your content through your content distribution channels and will publish social media posts during peak hours to drive engagement.
