Real estate VA cost per month typically falls between $866 and $2,100. The exact number depends on hours, account management, and services. A per-transaction coordinator runs $250 per deal instead of a monthly rate. This guide breaks down each tier, so you know what to expect before you sign up.
What Is the Real Estate VA Cost Per Month?
Real estate VA cost per month starts around $866 for part-time support without an account manager. Add an account manager and the price moves to about $1,150. A bundled plan with extra marketing services runs close to $2,100 a month. Transaction coordination charges $250 per closed deal instead.
Here is how each tier breaks down:
- Part-time VA, no account manager: $10 an hour, about $866 a month
- Part-time VA with account manager: $14 an hour, about $1,150 a month
- Bundled VA plus marketing services: about $2,100 a month
- Transaction coordination: $250 per transaction, no retainer required
Part-Time VA Pricing Without an Account Manager
This tier fits agents who need reliable help without extra oversight. You get 20 hours a week at $10 an hour, or about $866 a month. Your VA can handle several tasks on their own.
A part-time VA without a manager typically covers:
- Data entry and calendar management
- Email triage and basic follow-up
- Simple scheduling tasks
This plan works best for agents who already run a tight process. If you need more oversight, the next tier fits better. AllCloud VA’s administrative support service covers this exact scope.
Part-Time VA Pricing With an Account Manager
Adding an account manager brings the rate to $14 an hour. You still get 20 hours a week, plus regular planning calls. The account manager tracks progress and flags issues early. Most agents choose this tier once their task list grows.
A dedicated account manager also works as your project manager at no extra charge. That extra oversight often separates a smooth week from a chaotic one. Agents managing several listings at once tend to see the biggest benefit here.
The Bundled Plan Cost
The bundled plan costs about $2,100 a month. It includes a VA plus a 10 percent discount on extra marketing services. Agents on this plan often combine tasks across a few areas at once.
Common combinations include:
- Social media management
- Content management
- Prospecting and lead generation
- Property management support
Check the social media service, content service, or lead generation service pages for details. Agents building a full brand presence usually land here first. The discount adds up fast once two or more services stack together.
Per-Transaction Pricing for Transaction Coordination
Transaction coordination skips the monthly rate entirely. Instead, you pay $250 per closed deal, with no retainer required. This model fits agents who close a handful of deals each month. You only pay when a deal moves through the pipeline, which keeps costs predictable.
Explore the full transaction coordination service to see what’s included. One case study on transaction coordination shows a team cutting turnaround time. They made that gain after switching to this exact model.
What You Get at Each Price Point
Price alone does not tell the whole story. Each tier includes a different scope of work. Matching that scope to your real needs prevents overpaying.
The lower tiers focus on task execution. The higher tiers add strategy, planning, and oversight on top. A part-time VA without a manager completes assigned tasks well. They will not flag problems on their own, though. An account manager changes that by reviewing progress weekly and raising concerns early.
The bundled plan goes a step further. It combines a VA with access to specialized services like content or social media. Those services are run by team members trained in that specific area. You are not paying more for the same work. You are paying for broader coverage across more of your business.
Real Estate VA Cost for Specific Services
Pricing shifts slightly depending on which service you need most. A property management VA handles tenant communication and maintenance coordination. It typically runs on the same part-time hourly structure. Prospecting and lead generation work often pairs well with a part-time plan. Consistent outreach needs regular hours rather than occasional bursts.
Content-focused support, including blog writing and newsletters, fits naturally into the bundled plan. That is because content work tends to pair with social media. Bundling both keeps the discount working in your favor. Review the full pricing page to compare every service side by side before committing to a plan.
What Affects Your Real Estate VA Cost Per Month
Hours and services drive most of the price difference. Understanding both helps you pick the right plan the first time.
Hours You Book Each Week
Every tier above assumes 20 hours a week. Fewer hours lower your monthly total, but availability drops too. Most agents find 20 hours enough for admin and follow-up work.
Services You Add to the Plan
A single-service VA costs less than a bundle. Once you add social media, content, or prospecting support, the bundle becomes the better deal. Compare your task list against each service page before deciding.
Hidden Costs to Watch For When Budgeting
The monthly rate is not always the full picture. A couple of smaller costs can catch new clients off guard if nobody mentions them upfront.
Software and Tools
Some agents already pay for a CRM, transaction platform, or scheduling tool. Your VA will need access to these tools. AllCloud VA does not charge extra to use your existing systems. Confirm this with any provider before signing, since some agencies bill separately for tool access.
Onboarding Time
The first week or two involves training your VA on your specific process. This time is included in your regular hours, not billed separately. Agents who prepare clear instructions upfront tend to see faster ramp-up and fewer early mistakes.
Real Estate VA Cost vs. an In-House Hire
An in-house hire costs far more than a virtual assistant. Payroll taxes and benefits add to that gap quickly. The Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks administrative wage data nationally. Full-time salaries in this role run well above a part-time VA plan. The gap often runs into tens of thousands of dollars a year.
A virtual assistant also skips office space and equipment costs. There is no desk, no computer, and no added insurance premium to budget for. For a full side-by-side look, read AllCloud VA’s cost comparison breakdown.
Why Worker Classification Affects the Price
Hiring in-house means treating that person as a full employee. That status comes with tax withholding and benefits obligations. The IRS explains contractor and employee rules in detail. A VA agency absorbs that classification work for you.
The IRS also breaks down worker classification factors for business owners. Getting this wrong on your own can carry real financial risk. That is another reason many agents prefer working through an established agency.
How to Choose the Right Plan for Your Budget
Match your plan to your real workload instead of guessing. Review your weekly task list before comparing prices.
If You Need Basic Task Support
Start with the part-time plan without an account manager. It covers scheduling, data entry, and email management at the lowest cost.
If You Need Full Transaction Coverage
Choose per-transaction pricing instead of a monthly plan. You only pay for coordination on deals you close.
Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Plan
A few warning signs suggest your current plan no longer fits your workload. Watch for these before your business outgrows your support:
- You are turning down new listings due to lack of bandwidth
- Your VA flags that tasks are piling up faster than expected
- You need marketing help beyond basic admin support
- Your closing volume has grown past what per-transaction pricing covers efficiently
If two or more of these sound familiar, it is worth a quick call. Adjusting early usually costs less than waiting until something slips through the cracks.
