Hire an offshore sales assistant for your Australian real estate agency
An offshore real estate sales assistant handles the recurring admin behind every listing and sale — buyer enquiries, agent diary, marketing prep, CRM hygiene, and contract admin. Through Lite-Force, they're employed properly via an EOR structure with payroll, compliance, and HR support included. Most hires are live within 2–4 weeks.
Day in the life
A day in the life of an offshore real estate sales assistant.

- Buyer enquiry response — initial enquiries from realestate.com.au, Domain, and direct
- Agent diary management — inspections, appointments, listing presentations
- Listing prep — preparing listings for CRM, portals, and marketing campaigns
- OFI scheduling and follow-up — booking open homes, post-inspection feedback
- Buyer database management — capturing requirements, matching listings to buyers
- Marketing coordination — coordinating photography, copy, signage, brochures
- Contract admin — preparing sale contracts and coordinating signing logistics
- Vendor reporting — weekly campaign reports for sellers
Why offshore
Why real estate sales support works well offshore.
Sales admin is repeatable and high-volume.
Buyer enquiries, inspection bookings, and CRM updates follow consistent patterns. Once your offshore assistant knows your area and process, they handle volume cleanly.
Real estate tech is fully cloud-based.
Rex, AgentBox, VaultRE, MyDesktop, plus portal management (realestate.com.au, Domain, RealRE) — all browser-based.
Timezone overlap covers your trading day.
Philippines hours align with Australian business hours. Buyer enquiries get responded to within minutes; agent diary changes happen in real time.
Lets agents sell, not admin.
Agents make commission on closed deals — every hour on admin is an opportunity cost. Offshore sales support shifts the balance dramatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Can they hold an Australian real estate license?
No — and they don't need to. Offshore sales assistants do admin, marketing prep, and buyer coordination. Licensed activities (signed advice, formal property representation, salesperson duties) remain with your in-office licensed agents.
What CRMs are they trained on?
Common: Rex, AgentBox, VaultRE, MyDesktop, Console, REX Software, Eagle. Specific CRM requirements confirmed during scoping.
Can they speak with vendors and buyers directly?
Yes for routine comms — buyer enquiry response, inspection bookings, vendor campaign updates. For listing presentations, contract signing, and price negotiations, those remain with your agents.
How do they handle vendor reporting and CRM data?
Standard practice — under your supervision and CRM access controls, NDA, no local data storage. Vendor reports prepared and sent under your principal's name.
What if the hire doesn't work out?
Replacement commitment within the initial engagement period. If accuracy or fit isn't right, we source again at no additional placement cost. Details confirmed in your service agreement.
