Hello all,
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Kristen Smith. I am married and a mother of 3 wonderful children.

I started my VA business in October of 2008. I started my business with Realtors in mind. I have 3+ years as a Real Estate Assistant and 11 years of administrative/office management experience and have always had a passion for Real Estate.

I look forward to reading ALL the information this site has to offer as well as posting what I have learned as I grow as a VA. Since I am just starting out this will help me tremendously.

Hello, Kristen,

It's nice to have another new VA from Michigan join the forum. I'm from Michigan as well.

This is not only an informative forum, but a very friendly one as well. You'll get a lot of information and enjoy yourself while doing it.

Welcome!!! I look forward to getting to know you better.

Pam

Hello Michigan,

I'm also new to the forum, I believe this is a great tool for new VA's as well as those with lots of experience. Enjoy.

Hello to all our Michigan based VA's,

I myself live in SouthEast Michigan. I am also in the Real Estate business as I am licensed and also work my regular day job as a Real Estate assistant.

I look forward to hearing how all our VA business can thrive with the economy the way it is here in Michigan.
What are we doing to get clients in the door?

I have been working my business very slow over the last year but have decided to step it up come Jan 1 2010. A whole new website, Advertising, brand new launch with my business. All of this with a goal in mind of being able to quit my regular day job by June 1 2010.
