Absolutely! The market is plentiful for quality virtual assistants. We have a team physically in the Philippines to gather talent. I'd recommend keeping the skills focused. Just like it would be difficult to find a local team member at an average labor price to be a web designer/coder, social media manager, and researcher, it's also difficult to find a VA who can do it all at a quality level. Plus, at a low price, you could get a few assistants who specialize.

Hi Matt, I would suggest finding a VA to delegate the highly repetitive tasks that will move the needle for your business first. Think of CRM work or writing content creation as a way to learn how effective the VA is and build responsibilities out from there. Hire thoughtfully and let them go if they don't work out as well. Bonus: Train your VA how to use AI to help with research work and they should really learn from you how you want your research performed. You'll get a highly productive VA.

Hi @Matt McCurdy-- Jeff Ziegler here. I currently have an experienced real estate accountant who is looking to pick up more hours. Are you looking for a dedicated certified accountant? --Cheers
Hi @Matt McCurdy, my previous virtual assistant was the best. Unfortunately, I had to let her go due to some issues with my business. However, if you're interested, I can connect you with her. She is very organized, optimistic, and has a can-do attitude. With the lowest rate, I really just want to help her. Let me know if you are interested. Cheers 🍻

SupportShepherd - i have heard good things about their vetting process though i've never used them. I've used a VA in the Philippines.
Pros of Philippine VA
+English is usually great
+Super friendly personalities
+hard working and dedicated
I would be cautious about upwork. If you post a job, the first respondents are usually ones using an AI tool to respond to your posting and they are using a scattershot approach hoping to find someone who will take the bait.

If you have clear, step-by-step instructions ( process documentation), Upwork is one of the best places to find a trained real estate VA who can assist you with land records research, CRM updates, lead follow-up, marketing, spy on competitors, ects.
Professional freelancers often offer a 1-week free trial before onboarding, so you can evaluate their performance risk-free—perfect for real estate wholesaling support.
