Why Some US Real Estate Teams Hire VAs and Callers From Egypt

Most US real estate teams that hire offshore start in the Philippines. Here are the practical reasons some also look at Egypt, and the cases where Egypt isn't the right choice.

1. The time zone works for phone roles

Cairo is six or seven hours ahead of US Eastern time. A caller who starts at 4pm Cairo is starting at 9am New York, so they work your business day in their evening. Admin work can also run in the Cairo morning, which is overnight in the US: tasks you leave at the end of your day can be done by the next morning.

2. You can hear candidates first

Every Hire Now candidate has done a short skills interview built from the real job, such as opening a call to a homeowner or handling an objection. You see a score for each skill and for spoken English, and you hear a voice intro, before any call with them.

3. You hire directly

You hire and pay the person directly, with a one-time fee of EGP 5,000 (about $100) per hire and nothing on wages. If a hire isn't a fit within 14 working days, we find you a replacement at no extra cost.

Where Egypt isn't the best fit

• Round-the-clock coverage that needs large teams on every shift.
• Spanish-language roles.
• Anything that needs a US license or US-based presence.
