Dear Virtual Latinos,
We’re looking to hire 1 VA through this job that the Virtual Latinos Agency is publishing on behalf of a new client.
Client & Short Job Description:
Technology company that uses machine learning to provide interactive tools to renters, buyers, sellers, and landlords to facilitate real estate transactions. The company helps renters save time and money, and get better service than interacting with a human real-estate agent. It’s all done through the community.
The company does a lot of scheduling between renters, or property owners/companies that offer their apartments for rent. Their software helps take that time-consuming job from renters, by letting their technology do a lot of it. The company also has an A.I. Bot who helps answer some of the renter’s questions, so the VA will help answer any questions the Bot can’t do.
The VA they’re looking for will provide customer support, email communication with potential rental people. Renters spend 70+ hours in the process of renting a new house, so the company’s software cuts that time down to 10 hours. The company’s team is made up of 2 owners (Licensed real estate agents), and 2 other members. They also have their tech and marketing team, but it’s not in-house, so the VA would not interact with them.
The company has many renters in their CRM, and they usually will contact the company to ask some questions, etc. The VA will help support all requests that their technology can’t answer with automation.
The client is looking for a VA with great people & communication skills. See more “Ideal Requirements” below.
Job Highlights: Why should you apply?
– Excellent opportunity to learn more about automation processes in the Real Estate industry
– Chance to help renters reduce the time to find their home
– Opportunity to learn about a new perspective of business in real estate
DEADLINE TO APPLY: You must apply by Sunday, March 7th, at 11:30 PM PT. Our team will set up interviews for the selected candidates for Tuesday, March 9th, 2021.
