A real estate virtual assistant costs 10 to 14 dollars an hour for part-time support, or a flat 250 dollars per transaction if you only need coordination help. Your final price depends on hours needed, whether you want a dedicated account manager, and which services you bundle together. Here is the full breakdown agents and brokers need before they commit.

How Much Does a Real Estate Virtual Assistant Cost Per Month?

Monthly pricing for a real estate virtual assistant runs from 866 dollars to 2,100 dollars, based on hours and support level. AllCloud VA builds every plan around 20 hours a week, so agents get consistent help without paying for a full 40-hour week they may not need.

The three most common monthly setups look like this:

• Part-time VA, no account manager. Around 10 dollars an hour, or 866 dollars a month, for 20 hours a week of dedicated support.
• Part-time VA with an account manager. Around 14 dollars an hour, or 1,150 dollars a month, for 20 hours a week plus regular planning calls.
• VA with a discounted services bundle. 2,100 dollars a month, which includes a 10 percent discount on any additional digital marketing services you add later.

Each tier covers real estate tasks you assign like admin work, prospecting, or social media, so you are not paying extra for a generalist VA who needs training first.

What Do Other Real Estate Agents Pay for a Virtual Assistant?

Pricing for a real estate virtual assistant varies widely across the industry, not just between providers. This NAR broker network feature on hiring a virtual assistant profiled several agents who shared their own numbers.

One Florida broker pays her virtual assistant $800 per month for 20 hours a week of remote support. Another team leader in North Carolina structures pay differently for her transaction support staff, since her client care manager gets paid about $400 per closed transaction instead of an hourly rate. A third broker in New Hampshire has seen rates land anywhere between $10 and $15 an hour, or $500 to $1,500 a month for 20 to 40 hours, and she confirms that transaction coordinators typically get paid per transaction rather than by the hour.

These figures line up closely with AllCloud VA’s own tiers. The spread mostly comes down to where the VA is located, how many hours they work, and whether the role is administrative or transaction-specific.

What Affects Real Estate Virtual Assistant Pricing?

Real estate virtual assistant pricing shifts based on two main factors: how much oversight you want and how the work gets structured. Understanding both helps you avoid paying for support you will not use.

Managed vs Unmanaged Support

An unmanaged VA works the hours you assign with no extra planning layer, which keeps the hourly rate lower. A managed VA comes with an account manager who checks in regularly, adjusts workload, and catches problems early.

Most new clients start unmanaged and add an account manager once their VA takes on more complex work. The extra 4 dollars an hour buys consistent oversight and strategic planning , not just more hours.

Full-Time vs Part-Time Coverage

Part-time coverage at 20 hours a week fits agents who need help with a few core tasks, like calendar management or listing updates. Full-time coverage suits brokers running a team, since the workload usually spans multiple duties across the day.

Combined job duty roles are also available, where one VA splits time across transaction coordination and social media, for example. This works well for agents who do not have enough volume in one area to justify a dedicated hire.

What Does a Real Estate Transaction Coordinator Cost?

A real estate transaction coordinator costs 250 dollars per transaction with no retainer required. You pay only when a deal moves through the pipeline, so slower months do not carry a fixed bill.

This per-contract pricing covers the full workflow from opening escrow to delivering the closing file. It also applies separately to the two coverage types agents ask about most:

• Listing to Contract. A listing coordinator manages the file from the signed listing agreement through an accepted offer.
• Contract to Close. A transaction coordinator takes over once the contract is signed and manages every deadline through closing.

Agents who need both stages covered can combine them, and pricing stays tied to the transaction rather than a monthly retainer either way.

Is a Real Estate Virtual Assistant Worth the Cost?

Yes, for most agents the time saved outweighs the cost of a real estate virtual assistant within the first month. Clients working with AllCloud VA have reported a 72 percent increase in engagement and a 65 percent increase in followers within three months of delegating work.

Cost context matters here too. This real estate agent statistics report from WifiTalents found that median business expenses for agents run about $8,210 annually, and that only 13 percent of agents currently work with a personal assistant. That gap suggests plenty of agents are still absorbing admin work themselves, at a real cost to their time and their bottom line.

Consider what delegating that work buys back. An agent spending 10 hours a week on admin and follow-up recovers roughly 40 hours a month once that work shifts to a VA. Those hours typically go toward:

• Prospecting and lead follow-up that directly drives new business
• Client calls and showings that move deals toward closing
• Marketing and social media planning that builds a consistent brand

The math holds even at the higher 14-dollar rate, since one extra closed deal a quarter usually covers months of VA cost.

How Does Real Estate VA Pricing Compare to a Full-Time Hire?

Real estate virtual assistant pricing runs far below the cost of a full-time in-house hire once benefits and overhead are factored in. A salaried assistant in the United States often costs 40,000 dollars a year or more before taxes and benefits.

A part-time real estate VA at 866 dollars a month totals about 10,400 dollars a year, even at the base hourly rate. That gap covers office space, equipment, and payroll taxes an in-house hire always adds on top of salary.

The tradeoff is availability rather than quality. A VA works through phone, email, and project management tools instead of sitting down the hall, which works fine once response-time expectations are set early.
