A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a highly trained and skilled administrative
professional who partners with small businesses, entrepreneurs and busy
professionals to provide high level, long-term support without having to
be physically present in the client's office. By building relationships
with our clients, we learn about your business so we can best support you.
Virtual Assistance is a powerful tool for

- Affiliations - does the VA align herself with industry experts?
No. All work performed on your behalf will be kept confidential
unless you authorize me to share this information. Your ideas are your
ideas.
REVA online aligns itself with experts for this reason. We are
not a jack-of-all-trades and the master of none. We align ourselves with
many experts and upon your consent, are able to make referrals for some aspects of
our
business. We can be of
assistance in making a referral and will be happy to be a go-between to
make the job run smoothly.
Unlike with a temp agency, we do not work for you. We work with YOU!
We have many years of experience in the real estate field. Our goal is to
help your business grow. We have a vested interest in your success. When
you succeed - we succeed. With a temp agency, you are committed to
a certain time-frame; you get a new temp every
time you need assistance; temps are not specifically trained to handle your needs; and you know what? They
could care less if you succeed. Just pay me on Friday!
