040: Hiring a Virtual Assistant: Expectations vs. Reality – Interview w/ Derek Gallimore

What does it really take to outsource your real estate business?

In this interview, we talk with Derek Gallimore, Founder and CEO of Outsource Accelerator, a company that specializes in helping small and medium-sized enterprises based in high-cost English-speaking countries, and one of their areas of expertise is advising business in the real estate sector on how to outsource various aspects of their operation.

Derek tells us about different roles/jobs that can be outsourced and how it improves the business processes overall. Derek also gives us examples of how outsourcing can be applied to someone like a real estate agent, a landlord that's leasing out multiple properties or a property flipper.

The good thing about outsourcing is – it has never been easier to find good, competent help at a cost that is surprisingly affordable.

But what does that really mean? How much should you realistically expect to pay for someone who is truly competent and knows how to think for themselves? Which roles in your business are actually worth outsourcing? What are the biggest drawbacks to hiring a VA that nobody talks about? We’ll cover all of that today.
