Hi Lashby, welcome to the forum. I am just starting out as well. It is both exciting and scary. You will find alot of information on this site and it can become overwhelming. I do agree with Laura, concentrate on what you enjoy doing. And Good Luck!

Hi Everyone! I'm new here, and have been searching around the different forums. I am currently a licensed Real Estate Broker, and would like to embark on my own business. Do you think with my real estate background that I should market myself as a REVA? rather than a VA? Any suggestions would be very helpful!!!

these are great questions! I have been in the real estate industry for the past ten years, and currently am a licensed real estate broker. I've decided that my talents, and skills would be more beneficial working behind the scenes. I know that several of the real estate agents in my area have expressed interest in doing a "virtual" assistant over a standard employee type. The flexibility would be by far worth it. However, I too, am wondering what my "rates" should be. And I have found that based on what the type of project or tasks they want done, I would charge differently based on my time, materials, etc.

Hopefully I can get something going on this soon!!
