Real Estate Virtual Assistant Companies: Which One Fits the Role You're Hiring
Real Estate Virtual Assistant Companies: Which One Fits the Role You're Hiring

Quick answer: The right real estate virtual assistant company depends on the role you're filling. For one full-time assistant who handles CRM updates, lead follow-up, and listing admin, Stellar Staff costs $1,999 a month for 160 hours, month to month, and MyOutDesk starts at $1,988 a month. If you want an hourly rate card, Virtudesk lists $9.55 to $13.30 an hour with a $450 setup fee and a 3-month lock-in. For contract-to-close paperwork only, Transactly charges $399 per transaction on its pay-as-you-go plan.

Disclosure: Stellar Staff publishes this page and is one of the companies compared. Every other company's prices and terms come from its own website, with a link and the date we checked. If a company doesn't publish something, we say so.

Agents usually shop for a real estate VA when one part of the business starts slipping: leads go cold because nobody calls them back, the CRM is out of date, or a closing nearly slips because a document went missing. Those are three different jobs, and the companies that sell real estate virtual assistant services are built around different ones. This comparison of virtual assistant services for real estate sorts six companies by the role they're best at filling, so you can start from the bottleneck instead of the brand.

Start With the Role, Not the Company

Write down the tasks you handled last week that didn't require your license, then group them into three categories. Phone work, such as calling new leads, reviving old ones, and booking appointments, is an ISA or caller role. Paperwork with deadlines, such as contracts, disclosures, and closing checklists, is transaction coordination. Everything else, including the inbox, calendar, CRM, listing uploads, and vendor scheduling, is a general real estate admin role.

A full-time assistant from a managed agency can cover the admin pile and one of the other two. A transaction coordinator service covers only the paperwork pile, and it charges per file. Our guide to what a real estate virtual assistant does breaks each role down task by task, and our explainer on what a transaction coordinator does covers the paperwork role in detail.

Paperwork with deadlines is its own pile, so decide whether you need transaction coordination before you compare companies.

Full-Time Real Estate VAs From a Managed Agency

These three companies place one dedicated, full-time assistant who works inside your CRM and your hours. They fit agents and teams with steady deal flow and enough admin, follow-up, or calling to fill a week.

Stellar Staff

  • Price: $1,999 a month on Pro or $2,999 on Executive, for 160 hours a month. Pro works out to about $12.50 an hour. A bilingual assistant for Spanish-speaking clients adds $200 a month.
  • Terms: Month to month, no long-term contract, 14 days' notice to cancel.
  • Hiring: You interview 2 to 3 finalists and pick one. The search takes 5 to 10 business days.
  • Replacements: Free, forever, on managed plans.

Stellar Staff places assistants with agents, teams, investors, and property managers. A typical hire keeps the CRM current, answers new inquiries with approved messages, sets follow-ups, confirms showings, and tracks listing and closing checklists. For phone-heavy work, Stellar places a real estate ISA who calls, qualifies, and books appointments for the licensed agent. Stellar handles recruiting, payroll, HR, tracking, and replacements, and you direct the daily work. Talent comes primarily from the Philippines. See how Stellar Staff works with real estate agents and teams.

MyOutDesk

MyOutDesk lists Managed Outsourcing from $1,988 a month and Specialized Outsourcing from $2,500, both as starting prices. Every placement is full-time and dedicated, and it says it will find a replacement at no additional cost if the fit isn't working. Talent comes from the Philippines, Latin America, and Africa, and the company advertises SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance. Real estate is one of its longest-running markets, and its menu includes a Real Estate ISA role. Its pricing page doesn't list a contract length or cancellation terms, so ask for those in writing. See Stellar Staff vs MyOutDesk.

Stealth Agents

Stealth Agents listed full-time plans of $1,600, $2,400, and $3,000 a month for 160 hours when we last confirmed them on October 13, 2026, with a one-time onboarding fee it doesn't publish and a 3-month commitment. Its real estate pricing page currently describes dedicated full-time VAs starting at $10 an hour in the article text and $15 an hour in a banner, so confirm the rate on a call. The base tier is one of the lowest monthly prices for a full-time real estate VA, but the onboarding fee and 3-month minimum belong in the comparison. See Stellar Staff vs Stealth Agents.

Hourly Rate Cards and Hour Buckets

These two companies price by the hour. They work for agents who want part-time help or who want to see a rate per role before talking to sales.

Virtudesk

Virtudesk publishes one of the clearest rate cards in real estate. Full-time at 40 hours a week, it charges $9.55 an hour for administrative or marketing work, $10.60 for prospecting, ISA, or customer service roles, $11.00 for a transaction coordinator, and $12.35 for an executive VA. Part-time at 20 hours a week runs $10.60 to $13.30, and its Lite plan at 10 hours a week is $13.30 an hour for every role. Every package requires a $450 setup fee at signing and a 3-month lock-in. The rate card makes budgeting easy, but the minimum commitment means your smallest possible spend is three months of hours plus the fee. See Stellar Staff vs Virtudesk.

TaskBullet

TaskBullet sells flexible buckets of hours rather than a dedicated full-time hire. Its pricing page lists Philippines-based hours from $210, a free 10-hour start, no contracts, and a 90-day rollover on unused hours. It suits a solo agent with a few hours of admin a week who isn't ready for a full-time assistant. Because hours come from a bucket, ask whether the same person will work on your account each time.

Pay-Per-File Transaction Coordination

Transactly

Transactly handles transaction coordination only, priced per file. Pay as you go costs $399 per transaction with no monthly fee, and its Elite plans bring the per-transaction price down to $379, $359, or $339 when you commit monthly, quarterly, or annually. Other coordination services cost $150 on pay as you go. It says it serves all 50 states, offers bilingual coordinators, and accepts fewer than 10% of applicants. Transactly is the right call when contract-to-close paperwork is your only gap. If you also need lead follow-up and CRM work, per-file pricing plus a separate assistant can cost more than one full-time hire who does both.

What Your Broker Will Want Settled First

Whichever company you choose, a few rules apply to the assistant rather than the provider, and your broker will want them settled before the first shift.

  • Licensing limits. An unlicensed assistant can't show homes, give pricing advice, or negotiate, and some states also restrict prospecting calls. Texas, for example, bars unlicensed assistants from calls that ask whether someone wants to buy, sell, or lease.
  • Calling rules. Outbound calling has to follow Do Not Call and TCPA rules, and the business, not the VA company, is responsible for its lists and consent records. Our real estate cold calling services guide covers how to staff the phones within those rules.
  • System access. Give the assistant a separate CRM and MLS login with limited permissions, so you can revoke access the same day if the arrangement ends.
  • Scripts and handoffs. Write down which questions go straight to the licensed agent, such as price, representation, and contract terms.

This section is general information, not legal advice. Check your state commission's rules and your broker's policy.

Choose Stellar Staff If You Want One Assistant Who Stays on Your Team

Choose Stellar Staff if you want one dedicated real estate assistant or ISA working 160 hours a month at a published price, month to month with no minimum term. You interview 2 to 3 finalists, the search takes 5 to 10 business days, and replacements are free, forever, on managed plans. A full-time hire through Stellar Staff comes in at a third of the cost of a local hire. Stellar Staff is the #2 VA agency on Clutch and has placed 1,000+ remote hires since 2022.

Choose a different company if your only gap is closing paperwork (Transactly), if you need a few hours a week (TaskBullet or Virtudesk's Lite plan), or if you want a published hourly rate for each role and can accept a 3-month lock-in (Virtudesk).

What Agents Ask When Comparing Real Estate VA Companies

How much do real estate virtual assistant companies charge?

Full-time real estate VAs from managed agencies on this list start at $1,600 to $1,999 a month. Virtudesk publishes hourly rates of $9.55 to $13.30, and Transactly charges $399 per transaction for coordination on its pay-as-you-go plan. Stellar Staff costs $1,999 a month for 160 hours, month to month.

What's the best real estate virtual assistant company for a solo agent?

It depends on the workload. A solo agent with a few hours of admin a week is better served by an hour bucket or a part-time plan. Once lead follow-up, CRM work, and listing admin fill a full week, a dedicated full-time assistant from a company like Stellar Staff or MyOutDesk is usually the better value.

Can a real estate VA company provide an ISA?

Yes. Stellar Staff places a dedicated real estate ISA, MyOutDesk lists an ISA role, and Virtudesk prices ISA work at $10.60 an hour full-time. Check your state's rules on unlicensed prospecting calls before the ISA starts dialing.

Do real estate VA companies require long contracts?

Some do. Virtudesk requires a 3-month lock-in and a $450 setup fee, and Stealth Agents listed a 3-month commitment. Stellar Staff is month to month with 14 days' notice, and TaskBullet says it has no contracts.

Is a transaction coordinator service the same as a real estate VA?

No. A transaction coordinator service like Transactly handles contract-to-close paperwork and charges per file. A real estate VA works across admin, CRM, and follow-up every day. Some agents use both.

Choose a Real Estate VA Based on Where You're Losing Deals

Look at where business slipped in the last month. If leads went cold, start with an ISA or a full-time assistant who owns follow-up. If a closing nearly slipped, start with transaction coordination. If everything is a little behind, one full-time admin assistant who owns the CRM and the calendar is usually the right first hire. Then compare companies on the total cost of that role, including setup fees and minimum terms, not just the hourly rate.

If a full-time real estate assistant fits, compare Stellar Staff's plans or start a search.
