How One Virtual Assistant Can Help Sales Agents Close More Deals

In real estate sales, time is money — but most agencies are leaving deals on the table because their agents are buried in admin. At FudoDesk, we help agencies unburden their top billers by introducing skilled Virtual Assistants (VAs) who free up time, unlock capacity, and support scalable growth. If your top performer is closing deals left,right and center, why not let your top performer focus on what they’re good at ? Selling?

Drawing on best practices from high-performing sales teams across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, we've seen firsthand how strategic VA support can boost listings, speed up sales cycles, and empower agents to focus on what they do best, closing deals.

The Financial Case: $240,000 in Extra Commissions with One Virtual Assistant

Let’s break it down:

• A high performing Sales agent closes 2 properties per month.

• That’s 24 properties/year, and with an average sales commission of $20,000 generating ~$480,000 in commission yearly.

• A VA handling admin, CRM updates, listing support, and lead generation can save an agent 12–18 hours/week — enough time to add 1 more sale every month.

• That’s $20,000 per month or the equivalent of $240,000/year in added commissions.

• Across multiple high performing sales agents, one VA can help unlock even more revenue by helping more Sales agents.

And the best part? This comes without adding more headcount or increasing advertising spend.

What Tasks Can a VA Take Off Your Plate?

Sales Agents often spend 30–40% of their time on non-dollar-productive work. A VA can handle:

• Listing uploads and photo coordination

• Email follow-ups and CRM hygiene

• Open home prep and buyer call logs

• Pre-drafting sales letters and proposal packs

• Organizing solicitor and contract documentation

This frees up agents to spend more time prospecting, negotiating, and closing.

Rapid follow ups

Research consistently shows that responding to leads within 5 minutes increases the likelihood of conversion by up to 400%. Yet many agents are too busy to follow up that quickly.

That’s where a VA comes in.

• VAs can monitor inbound leads in real-time and send immediate follow-up emails or texts.

• They can pre-qualify leads and schedule appointments while the agent is out at inspections or appraisals.

• By ensuring that no lead sits cold, VAs help you win more instructions and close more deals.

Fast follow-up = more listings and more commissions. It’s that simple.
