Executive Residential Real Estate Virtual Assistant

We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and dependable Executive Residential Real Estate Virtual Assistant to provide high-level administrative, operational, transaction, client, and executive support to a growing residential real estate business.

This position is ideal for someone who understands that being an exceptional real estate assistant is about more than completing a checklist. We are looking for someone who can anticipate needs, manage details, follow through, communicate proactively, research solutions, and take ownership of responsibilities from start to finish.

The right candidate will be comfortable working behind the scenes to keep the business organized and moving forward. You should be able to manage multiple priorities, maintain accurate records, communicate professionally with clients and vendors, and handle time-sensitive real estate tasks without sacrificing attention to detail.

Because this is an executive-level support position, judgment, discretion, initiative, accountability, and reliability are extremely important.

We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term professional relationship and career in residential real estate, not simply complete tasks on a daily basis.
