Press Release Summary = Visions Virtual Assistance launched in September 2006 to
help real estate professionals market themselves when they only have time to market
their listings.

Press Release Body = (Ware, Massachusetts. October 29, 2006) -Listings are up,
buyers are few, leaving agents busier than ever trying to earn their commissions.
Where can real estate professionals find time to prospect while maintaining a full
inventory? Visions Virtual Assistance, a real estate virtual assistant (REVA)
practice, has launched to give busy real estate agents the experienced helping hand
they need.

Owned by former real estate agent Crystal Pina, the online business provides
marketing and administrative assistance, including lead generation and prospecting,
marketing listings, and transaction coordination. Pina was recently awarded the
PREVA (Professional Real Estate Virtual Assistant) designation by her peers at REVA
Network.com.

In Pina's experience, agents often stop marketing themselves to sell their current
listings. "In a slow season such as we are experiencing, the last thing an agent
should do is stop marketing themselves, " says Pina. "Unfortunately, prospecting
usually gets pushed to the wayside while agents spend what little time they do have
on marketing their current listings." In the past, an agent would hire an
assistant. "But," says Pina, "the agent then had to worry about keeping the
assistant busy, even when their business slowed down". In contrast, a virtual
assistant (VA) only works when the agent needs them.

The agent and VA communicate through telephone, fax or email, and send documents
instantly via the Internet or by mail or courier. Because a virtual assistant is an
independent contractor working from his or her own office, the real estate agent
benefits by receiving experienced assistance without providing office space and
equipment..
