How to Start a Virtual Office for A Real Estate Agency

Surprisingly, it’s not difficult or expensive to start a virtual office for a real estate agency

Starting an online virtual pbx to host your virtual real estate agency, you can manage the entire office online from anywhere where there’s an internet connection.

The first step to the creation of your virtual real estate office is to select your virtual phone number. Once your phone line is up and running you can begin to set-up extensions to departments you want callers directed to.

For example, you can have one extension created as your appointment desk so that calls are routed to the person handling appointment requests. You can have another extension up and running for generic information, such as address, fax numbers and email addresses, as well as an extension for the accounting number. You can also create a dial-by-name directory for callers to get directly through to the sales rep they’re looking for.

The best part of this system, is your ability to manage the entire phone system online from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection. If you have a small office and one person handles several departments, that person can log-in online to get all messages from anywhere, even from home.

Another perk with this system, is that the extensions you create can be set-up anywhere. Lets say you have an Accounting Department that is essentially one person, your bookkeepper, and that bookkeepper does not physically work in your office, you can set-up an extension at his or her location. You can do this a number of ways such as fowarding calls to him/her, or by an actual physical extension dedicated to that individual. You can also re-direct calls to any phone number you assign like cell phones, home numbers etc.

On the flip side, if you have a larger accounting department, no problem, simply set-up extensions for each person in the department. Also, each extension can set-up there own caller greetings, voicemail or forwarding.

There are numerous other features that come with this full virtual phone system, features such as music on hold, outlook expresss integration, call forwarding, and more. The use, affordability, and functionality of starting a virtual office for a real estate agency is ideal for any brokerage looking to modernize the way they manage calls.
