Why should real estate businesses outsource?

The real estate industry is just as much about maintaining healthy buyer, investor and tenant relationships as it is about streamlining processes and ensuring back-office operations are efficient. With the pandemic showing how volatile the real estate market can become, businesses need to identify strategies to keep up with these unpredictable market changes while maintaining existing business growth opportunities.

Another key player in the real estate market is the current global talent shortage, with nearly 69% of businesses1 having difficulty sourcing and retaining skilled talent. With the pandemic alone pushing global unemployment over the 200 million mark2, it would be fair to assume that employers might ‘have their pick’ from a large pool of quality, skilled workers who suffered because of sudden employment losses or financial turmoil during this time. However, there is research to suggest that applicants are now in control3, wanting more value-based benefits from potential employers rather than just financial gain.

Considering alternative resourcing strategies, like outsourcing, is a way real estate businesses can open up to a global pool of quality talent and reap the following benefits:

  • Cost savings: Outsourcing can save your business money by having day-to-day tasks completed in a lower-cost economy, where employment costs are up to 70% less.
  • Expert support: Outsourcing providers are experts in providing insights and advice at each stage of the outsourcing process. Their expert advice can help your business get the best out of your outsourcing journey and ensure it is optimised for success.
  • Improve business flexibility and availability: Outsourcing can help your business become more agile and flexible by opening up 24/7 availability.
  • Business growth: Outsourcing can free up funds that can be used to reinvest back into the growth of your business. With the additional support of an offshore team member(s), you can increase the capacity for your business to take on more work.
  • Improved staff satisfaction rates: Outsourcing can help you to identify roles and tasks that would be best suited to send to an offshore employee. That way, your local team can focus on what they do best and what motivates them, improving job satisfaction for employees in the long run.

Outsourcing companies - how to choose your provider

Choosing the wrong outsourcing provider can be detrimental to your success.

Selecting a provider with values that align with your business objectives is the ultimate goal. Doing so will ensure your outsourcing journey is nothing short of successful. How do you know you’re choosing the right outsourcing provider? Start by asking the right questions. These questions should drill into their operations so that you’re left with a thorough understanding of how they operate. Some of these questions may include:

  • Can you detail your standard security policies and infrastructure to manage data, security and privacy?
  • What tools do you have in place to ensure staff members remain online and productive 100% of the time?
  • What productivity reporting do you provide as a standard?
  • If things are not working out, what is the notice period and termination fees?
  • How does your recruitment process ensure you find the best candidate for my role?

This step is absolutely crucial in ensuring your outsourcing journey is a success. Remember, not all outsourcing providers are the same. They all have different protocols, facilities, T&Cs and contracts. Analyse, compare and choose the provider that resonates with your agency the most.

Businesses can benefit from the following by investing in outsourcing for real estate:

Outsourcing for real estate means your business sends real estate tasks to a dedicated offshore team member(s) who is based outside of your business. For example, if you decide to outsource your real estate tasks with Beepo, your team member would be based in our office in the Philippines.

This is completely dependent on the outsourcing provider you choose to partner with. Outsourcing allows additional work to be completed, at significantly reduced costs, especially when outsourcing offshore to a lower cost economy, such as the Philippines, where employment costs are up to 70% less. Hiring new staff is an expensive process. Beepo’s outsourcing model takes care of all these costs including recruitment, human resources, new office equipment, superannuation, payroll tax, workers compensation, IT and overall management supervision. Apart from the engagement costs, you would only be sacrificing your time to train your new employees, which is a long-term investment for your business.
