Real Estate Offshoring for Growth: Why More Agencies Are Making the Shift
In today’s competitive property market, growth isn’t just about getting more listings—it’s about building the right support behind the scenes. That’s where offshoring comes in. For Australian and New Zealand real estate agencies, offshoring has evolved from a cost-cutting tactic into a strategic move that fuels sustainable growth.
At Universal Property Systems (UPS), we help real estate businesses scale efficiently through smart, co-managed offshoring solutions. Here’s why more agencies are turning to offshoring—and how it’s changing the game.
What Is Real Estate Offshoring?
Real estate offshoring means building a remote team typically based overseas that supports your local operations. These teams can handle everything from trust accounting and listing coordination to lead generation, leasing admin, and more. At UPS, our VAs work from a secure, office-based setup in the Philippines with full oversight from an Australian-led management team.
The Growth Advantage: Why Agencies Are Offshoring
More Output, Less Overhead
Hiring locally can be expensive, especially when you need skilled admin or marketing support. Offshoring allows you to grow your headcount without blowing your budget.
Access to Specialised Talent
Our real estate VAs are trained on Australian and NZ industry systems like PropertyMe, VaultRE, Agentbox, and more. They’re not just general admin—they’re industry-ready support staff.
Time Back for High-Value Work
When your team isn’t bogged down with repetitive admin or data entry, they can focus on dollar-productive tasks: listing, negotiating, building client relationships.
Built-in Structure and Oversight
With UPS, you don’t just get a VA—you get a full support system. Our team leaders check in daily, report on performance, and ensure your VA is aligned with your workflow.
