MyOutDesk vs Remote Staff NY: Pricing, Services, and the Right Fit

MyOutDesk: The Real Estate VA Giant

MyOutDesk (MOD) is one of the largest virtual assistant companies in the US, with a strong presence in real estate. They have placed over 9,000 VAs and serve clients across healthcare, finance, real estate, and general business. They are a legitimate operation.

So why would a New York business choose Remote Staff NY instead?

MyOutDesk: Full-time VAs range from $1,788 to $2,288 per month depending on the role and specialization. They also charge a one-time placement fee.

Remote Staff NY: Starting at $8.99/hour ($1,560/month full-time). No placement fees. No setup costs.

On a full-time basis, Remote Staff NY saves $228 to $728 per month, or $2,736 to $8,736 per year.

Where MyOutDesk Excels

  • Real estate specialization: MOD has deep real estate expertise with VAs trained specifically for transaction coordination, ISA roles, and listing management
  • Scale: With 9,000+ placements, they have a large talent pool
  • Healthcare and finance: They have dedicated verticals for these industries

Where Remote Staff NY Excels

  • Lower cost: $228 to $728/month less for comparable roles

  • Local expertise: We are a New York company serving New York businesses. We understand the local market, the industries, and the pace.

  • Personal service: You are not a ticket number. You talk to real people who know your account.

The Honest Assessment

If you are a large real estate brokerage with 50+ agents and need a proven system for ISA and TC placement at scale, MyOutDesk has the track record.
