How Real Estate Skill Positions
Real Estate Skill is best understood as VA placement for real-estate investors. Their strength is real: investor-process focus. The corresponding trade-off — and every model has one — is narrow to REI.
On What “Senior” Means in Each House
Real Estate Skill calls staff “senior” at one tenure threshold. We call them senior at another. Our operators average 7+ years of relevant practice before joining; we turn down ~94% of applicants. That filter shows up in the work, in the comms, and in how few times you have to repeat yourself.
On Pricing & What Actually Comes With It
Real Estate Skill is priced at $1800/placement. 724 Care starts at $1,180/mo for a Virtual Assistant, $7.40/hr for Call Center, $1,650/mo for Accounting. We’re not the cheapest in the category, and that’s the point — we vet ~6% of applicants and keep them an average of 3.1 years.
On Continuity When Things Change
Every offshore engagement faces three eventually: someone gets sick, someone takes PTO, someone leaves. Real Estate Skill’s answer is shaped by a placement service — sometimes another pool member picks it up, sometimes you wait. 724 Care’s bench is real: every operator has a trained understudy briefed on your SOPs, paid by us, on standby.
Who Should Pick Real Estate Skill
If your description is “real estate investors”, Real Estate Skill is a defensible pick. They earn their position. We’re not going to tell you they’re bad — they’re not. They’re optimised differently.
Who Should Pick 724 Care
You’re a founder or ops leader who’s run at least one offshore engagement before, watched it disappoint, and decided that the next one will be either a great hire or no hire. You’d rather pay $1,180/mo for one operator who knows your SOPs cold than $700/mo for a rotating cast that never quite does.
The Verdict
Real Estate Skill is the right answer if real estate investors describes you. 724 Care is the right answer if you’re tired of being treated like a budget line by your offshore vendor.
