Let’s get down to it. How can you spot the differences between a quality virtual assistant provider and a gimmicky, low assurance virtual assistant database? You already know the potential benefits of a virtual assistant, but there are many providers out there. So which providers are most reliable?

“When I hired my first VP, in 2007, I was like most Americans: I had no idea how advanced and motivated people were. Back then, I owned a couple of different businesses, and over the subsequent ten years, I learned all that virtual professionals can do for a business from a talent and motivation perspective. I have also learned how rewarding it is to provide hope and opportunity to as many people as possible throughout the world by giving them wages and benefits that reflect their true value.”
The heart of the journey is getting the right people working for you.
The ability to leverage global talent makes it financially attainable, even
for smaller companies, to do so. America’s biggest companies already know
this, as we are beginning to discover.
Leverage is compound interest and entrepreneurs’ biggest swing.
When I hire somebody, I’m hiring them to grow my revenue. I’m hiring them to save money. I’m hiring them to own an entire process for my business.
The biggest cure for the economy is businesses and entrepreneurs staying productive.

Socially Distanced Virtual Real Estate
Through effective marketing, realtors are making it clear to their clientele that they are practicing effective social distancing. To earn the trust of those who are looking to buy and sell now, marketing is more important today than ever before. Here’s an example of how realtors are reassuring their clientele.
SELLING
HOME SEARCH
Up-to-the-minute listings
Buyers can search for the perfect home based on their own parameters. Our search platform is not delayed regarding updates like Zillow. Never miss out on the house of your dreams!
VIRTUAL SHOWINGS
24/7 online, buyer-controlled tours
We take 3D images of your property and turn it into a virtually “walkable” tour for our sellers. For our buyers, we have several ways for you to tour a showing while limiting unnecessary exposure and practicing social distancing.
VIRTUAL MEETINGS
Meet with your REALTOR® online
We can accommodate “face to face” meetings online. Have a coffee together and discuss offers without the need to physically meet at a café or restaurant. Our agents are happy to talk of the phone as well.
BUYING
ONLINE DOCUMENT SIGNING
Legally binding digital signatures
We have software that is easy to understand and will digitally sign a document online. The signatures are legally binding, and there is no longer a need for in-person signatures for real estate contracts.
EARNEST MONEY DELIVERY SERVICE
Wire or we will pick up
We will pick up your check for a buyer if they are not able to wire funds to the holder or earnest money.
E-MAILED INSPECTION REPORT
Digital inspection report
There is no need for a buyer or seller to be present at the time of inspection. Once the inspector is done, a digital copy of the report is e-mailed to the buyer.
CLOSINGS
Mail-away with mobile notary
A closing can be completed by mail for a fee determined by your closing attorney. We can coordinate a mobile notary for our buyers and sellers. After closing, we can also deliver keys.

How Real Estate is affected by Consumer Spending & Forbearance
Sacramento, California has always been the testing ground for major consumer brands, like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, General Mills, etc., for launching their products and measuring success.
The reason is that the general public in the US mirrors that of Sacramento, CA demographically. What does that mean for you? If you follow Sacramento data about the real estate market it’s going to match that of the national market (not perfectly, but still very close).
Nobody really knows that, so when a brand introduces a new whacky flavor, they do it here in Sacramento first.
You can apply consumer market research in real estate trends as well as mortgage loan forbearance.
Number of people paying their bills is high, but it is not the big picture.
In the graph above, you’ll notice that March 2020 saw the number of borrowers who need forbearance on their mortgage spiking due to coronavirus shutdowns. This number remains may, but as of May it looks like the forbearance curve may be flattening.
These are the reports forbearance numbers. It means that there are a lot of mortgages being held in private hands. Thus, much of the debt that is corporately owned rather than bank-owned.
As many finance servicers are allowing consumers loan relief through forbearance, the problem is that consumers new to forbearance might think that they don’t have to pay back debts, but you actually still have to pay.
With the CARES Act, the federal government cannot change contracts. They have the power to issue guidelines that request lenders and debt companies to make programs, but the debt is not forgiven.
Contrary to all the bad news… this number is under-reported as private funds, such as Blackstone the Saudi Wealth Fund, don’t need to report these numbers.
As these numbers have flattened this month, the national inventory for MLS listings remains low, which means that market is continuing.
Why are these numbers important for real estate?
Back to Sacramento as the hot-seat of understanding consumer spending.
In 2007-2008, there was a consistent average of around 10,000 listed properties on MLS in Sacramento. Right now, the average is less than 1,000.
By comparing current trends against the crash that happened in 2008 & 2009, we can tell that challenges won’t necessarily be in residential real estate this period. It’s most likely going to come from commercial corporate debt.
What it means to this year’s economy and consumers
With the dip in GDP and consumer spending, residential real estate is likely to remain strong. Residential real estate prices will drop, but not like we saw last time in the residential space.
You can schedule a time with real estate business strategists to brainstorm how to best leverage today’s consumer habits and best real estate practices.

Bestselling Business Strategy Book: “Scaling with MOD Virtual Professionals”
+ Strategy Consultation
Broker experts, MyOutDesk CEO Daniel Ramsey & The National Commercial Real Estate Association (NCREA) Founder & Senior Instructor Michel Simpson, show you how to stay productive, save your business & effectively transition to a fully remote workplace.
The question is: Where do we go from here?
“A lot of this will stick — but not all of it.” We tap into the mind of Peter Schwartz, a renowned futurist and has projections for what a post-pandemic workplace might look like. He is also Chief Future Officer at Salesforce and a member of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s newly formed California Future of Work Commission.
This current paradigm shift also affects infrastructure. Schwartz predicts offices will be reconfigured into conversation lounges, not individual desks, and instead of owning large buildings to house scads of employees, businesses will start renting flexible workspace through coworking companies like WeWork to support a smaller footprint for day-to-day operations”
“I think this is going to change the nature of the office,” Schwartz says. “It’s going to be a place where we come together, not where we do work. The reason people want to go to an office is to be with other people — we’re naturally gregarious animals. Informal communications don’t happen when working alone via electronic means.”
Broker’s Strategy: Play – Pause – Do >>
Daniel advises all brokers to do what you need to do WHILE recording your screen, recording your actions, and then talk through it while you do it (How, What, & Why). With this level of documentation, you can PASS that over to your virtual assistant or staff to follow and reference to. If you need help or want to explore some ideas, book a Schedule a free Strategy Call today.
