The short answer
The shortlist: MyOutDesk (dedicated full-time VAs from $1,988/mo), TaskBullet (bucket hours from $210/mo), Zirtual (US-based, $599-$1,699/mo), Transactly (coordination at $399 per deal). If the work you are losing is phone response, an AI voice agent covers that layer for $289/mo.
Key takeaways
- MyOutDesk, TaskBullet, Zirtual, and Transactly publish their prices; REVA Global, Summit, and Wing do not.
- A dedicated full-time seat starts near $1,988 a month; bucket hours start at $210.
- Buy per-transaction coordination if paperwork is the bottleneck; buy bucket hours for general admin.
- A VA covers desk work during the shift you bought; the phone layer needs always-on coverage.
- Rezora IO covers the phone layer for $289 a month plus $0.20 per conversational minute.
A real estate virtual assistant is desk leverage: someone else's hours applied to your inbox, your CRM, your listing paperwork, and your marketing queue. This list compares the seven companies worth shortlisting, with pricing verified against each vendor's own site in August 2026.
The short version: MyOutDesk for a dedicated full-time seat, TaskBullet for bucket hours on a budget, Zirtual for US-based help, Transactly if transaction coordination is the whole job. Three of the seven publish no pricing at all, which tells you something before you book a single sales call.
The sorting question is not which company is best. It is which work you are losing. If the answer is desk work, read on. If the answer is phone work, skip to the last section, because a VA is the wrong tool for that problem.
What a real estate VA covers#
The work splits into four piles: transaction coordination (paperwork, deadlines, signature chasing), listing and marketing admin (MLS input, flyers, social posts), CRM and database hygiene, and inbox and calendar management. Every company on this list claims all four. The differences that matter are price, contract terms, and how much real estate training the assistant arrives with.
One boundary matters before you shop: a VA is not an ISA. A virtual assistant is an administrative generalist. An inside sales agent is a phone specialist measured in dials, conversations, and booked appointments, and the real estate ISA guide covers that hire's very different math. Job posts that blend the two roles fail predictably toward admin, because paperwork never rejects anyone. If you need both jobs done, make two hires or scope two separate blocks of the week.
What separates these companies#
Four things: whether they publish a price, the staffing model (a dedicated seat, a bucket of hours, or per-transaction billing), how much real estate-specific training is included, and what happens contractually when the fit fails. Each entry below states the vendor's published pricing where it exists and says so plainly where it does not.
The shortlist#
1. MyOutDesk: the dedicated full-time seat#
MyOutDesk has sold real estate virtual assistants for over 15 years, and it is the name every other company here gets measured against. The model is a dedicated full-time VA working eight hours a day, five days a week, with recruiting, payroll, benefits, and HR handled for you. Pricing is a single flat rate starting at $1,988 a month for the managed tier, with specialized roles from $2,500.
Spread across a full-time month, that works out near $12 an hour, which is genuinely competitive. The constraint is the shape of the purchase: you are buying roughly 168 hours a month whether or not you have 168 hours of work to fill. For a team with a deep admin backlog, MyOutDesk is the safest pick on this list. For a solo agent with 15 hours a month of chores, it is a piano in a studio apartment.
2. TaskBullet: bucket hours without the contract#
TaskBullet sells hours in buckets instead of seats. Philippines-based buckets run from $210 for 20 hours up to $1,099 for 168 hours, which works out to $10.50 down to $6.54 an hour, and US-based assistants start at $27 an hour. There are no contracts, setup fees, or cancellation penalties, unused hours roll over for 90 days, and new accounts start with 10 free hours, so you can test the fit before spending anything.
The limit is depth. A bucket VA is a generalist you task by the hour, and nobody at TaskBullet is learning your farm area over months. For listing flyers, CRM cleanup, and inbox triage, that is exactly the right purchase. For anything requiring judgment about your clients, it is a starting point at best.
3. Zirtual: US-based and month-to-month#
Zirtual is the domestic option. Plans run from $599 a month for 12 hours up to $1,699 for 45 hours, with no setup fee and no long-term contract. Do the math before picking a tier: the entry plan lands near $50 an hour, the top tier near $38, and hours do not roll over, so a slow month is donated money. Buy the smallest plan that covers a real week of work and upgrade only after a month of evidence.
Zirtual also sells outbound calling plans from $599 for six calling hours a month. That offer prices the phone problem honestly: six human calling hours a month will not move a pipeline.
4. Transactly: transaction coordination by the deal#
Transactly is the specialist: a transaction-coordination service with software attached, and for many agents the only purchase on this list that makes sense. Pay-as-you-go coordination runs $399 per transaction, the $379-a-month Elite plan includes one transaction credit, and a $49 platform-only tier covers the tools without the coordinator.
An agent closing three deals a month pays about $1,200 on pay-as-you-go, which beats a $1,988 dedicated seat when coordination is the whole job. If your backlog is listing marketing and database work, Transactly will not touch it.
5. REVA Global: real estate trained, priced by phone call#
REVA Global recruits, trains, and manages Philippines-based VAs under a structured real estate training program, covering admin, marketing, transaction coordination, and inside sales work. What it does not publish is a price; every inquiry routes to a strategy call. That suits a team lead who wants a managed relationship and expects to negotiate. It is a reason for a solo agent to start with the companies whose prices are on the page.
6. Summit VA Solutions: training-first, also quote-only#
Summit VA Solutions staffs college-educated, background-checked assistants trained specifically for real estate offices. Like REVA, it publishes no pricing. The training-first pitch is the differentiator, so use the sales call to extract a number and benchmark it against the published prices above.
7. Wing Assistant: the generalist at scale#
Wing staffs assistants across many industries, real estate included, and claims more than 10,000 active assistants on its site. It also publishes no prices, routing buyers to a demo call. Generalist scale is useful for a brokerage standardizing support across departments; an agent who wants real-estate-specific training should weight the specialists above.

The direct-hire alternative#
Job boards like OnlineJobs.ph and Upwork let you hire a Philippine assistant directly at a steep discount to agency rates, in exchange for doing the recruiting, training, and managing yourself. If you have hired remote staff before, the savings are real. If this is your first remote hire, the management tax usually eats them. (OnlineJobs.ph blocks automated retrieval, so confirm its current subscription price on the site itself.)
Hear what your leads would hear
Rezora IO will call your phone in the next minute with the same conversation a new portal inquiry gets. Two minutes, and you will know whether your phone problem needs a person at all.
Book a demoWhen the job is phone work#
Go back to the sorting question. If the work piling up is paperwork, marketing, and inbox, everything above applies. But much of what real estate teams lose is phone work: portal inquiries that go cold within the hour, database follow-up nobody dials, after-hours calls that hit voicemail. A VA covers the phone only during the shift you bought, and an hourly assistant will not call your new Zillow lead at 9:40 on a Friday night.
That layer is what Rezora IO is built for. It is an AI voice agent rather than an assistant: it calls new leads back within seconds, qualifies what the caller intends, books the appointment on your calendar, and works the old database on a retry cadence. It sounds like a trained hire because Rezora IO trains its own hosted models on real sales conversations, supervised fine-tuning first and preference optimization after, with its deepest training corpora in real estate and home services. Pricing is published: $289 a month plus $0.20 per conversational minute, month to month, with enterprise plans that train the model on your own calls. It syncs with Follow Up Boss, Lofty, HubSpot, and GoHighLevel, so the VA you do hire inherits clean records instead of voicemail archaeology.
The honest split: buy a VA for the desk, buy coverage for the phone. Our AI versus ISA cost comparison runs the full math on the phone side, and the AI voice agent for real estate page shows what that coverage looks like in practice.
FAQ#
How much does a real estate virtual assistant cost?#
Published rates today span $210 a month for a 20-hour TaskBullet bucket up to $1,988 and more for a dedicated MyOutDesk seat, with US-based Zirtual between $599 and $1,699 for 12 to 45 hours. REVA Global, Summit, and Wing publish nothing and price through sales calls. Per-transaction coordination from Transactly starts at $399 a deal.
Is it better to hire through a company or directly?#
Direct hiring costs less per hour and makes you the recruiter, trainer, and manager; a company charges a markup to absorb all three plus replacement when the hire quits. First-time remote managers should pay the markup once and learn what the job requires. Experienced ones can pocket it.
What tasks should a real estate VA take first?#
Start with work that is repetitive, documented, and easy to check: MLS listing input, transaction deadline tracking, CRM cleanup, and social posting. Hold back anything involving negotiation or judgment about a client's situation until the assistant has months of context.
What is the difference between a real estate VA and an ISA?#
A VA is an administrative generalist; an ISA is a phone specialist measured in dials and booked appointments. If the work you need is calling leads back and setting appointments, the ISA guide is the right read, because the costs and failure modes are different.
How many hours a month should I start with?#
AskSunday's guide suggests 20 to 40 hours as a starting band, and both Zirtual's 20-hour tier and TaskBullet's 20-hour bucket exist for exactly that range. Buy the small bucket, log what gets used, and let a month of evidence set the number.
