A real estate professional needed reliable help with day-to-day administrative work and ongoing client communications. Managing these tasks alone took time away from core real estate activities. They wanted predictable, affordable support without being locked into a long-term agreement. A dedicated virtual assistant based in the Philippines was provided to support the real estate professional. The assistant handled administrative tasks and client communications as needed. The engagement used flat-rate hourly pricing and was set up without contracts, with the option to cancel at any time. The customer received dedicated support for administrative tasks and client communications at a $8/hour flat rate. They maintained flexibility because there were no contracts attached to the arrangement. This structure provided predictable costs while keeping the option to cancel at any time.
