Maria Erika Gaa

I am Maria Erika Gaa, and I am from Manila, Philippines. I have been a virtual assistant for real estate investors since 2017. My previous clients were California, Tennessee, Atlanta, Oklahoma, Washington, and Michigan. I am a work from home mom with 13 years of experience in the BPO industry. I've decided to leave the corporate world when I had my baby. I have been a manager myself, so I understand the need for an honest, loyal, and hardworking assistant who is reliable and autonomous who can work with minimal supervision and, most importantly, someone who is willing to be part of the company's success. 

My background experience includes the following: operations management, credit card customer service, insurance, and real estate investment. My very first VA job was working for a real estate investor in California. When I started working for him, he doesn't have anything set up yet. I helped him map out his phone and email systems. Setting up everything from scratch was no joke, but I was able to pull it off. We've used Jive, Mojo dialler, and Eztexting to do lead generation and to cold call potential sellers. The CRM we used was Podio. My daily tasks are as follows: social media marketing, manage Hootsuite and Google My Business, design posters for marketing using Canva, write articles and off-page descriptions for the websites, FB accounts and pages of the business, interact with followers by replying and commenting to posts. I also do research and skip tracing. Direct mail is also part of my tasks. I coordinate pre and post-sale transactions. The products I've already handled are residential and commercial real estates, multi-family, farmlands, and vacant lots. I would say that in a year and a few months, I have made a significant impact in his business. I am willing and able to provide my previous employer's contact information as my character reference.

Aside from my background, skills, and experience, I can say that my attitude towards work is like no other. I can work with minimal to no supervision at all. Just give me the task and explain to me what needs to be done, and I'll take care of it. I am a self-starter and a fast learner. Once given a chance to be part of your team/company, you can count on me to be there with you reaching our goals together, being successful together, and making a great impact in the industry together.
