Virtual Assistant Calling FSBO?

[Doug Cook]

Yes, I hear many RE Gurus online say hire VA to handle the work that you don't have time to do. I deal with FSBO mostly, my Virtual Assistant sometimes get ask if she calling on behalf of an Real Estate Investor. When she says "Yes", the seller comment is that they don't want to sell to investors no matter if "Subject To", Lease Option, or Owner Financing. I'M LOSSING DEALS THIS WAY 'HELP!!' What should I tell my VA how to handle this.

Hi @Doug Cook, welcome to the forums and I'm sorry to hear of your troubles here!

At the end of the day the thing to understand about this is: your VA is somewhere between the 1-st and 90th caller that the FSBO gets in the first few days of listing. The same reason you are using a VA to call FSBOs is the reason many others are, and all of you are in addition to the upstart agents calling every FSBO that hits the market in their area to try to win the listing.

Unless you're offering something that the seller does want (which, let me take a stab at 80% of FSBO sellers of potential investment properties . . . more money from the sale?) then you're going to be constrained in how your VA is able to offer what you're offering.

I would look for a blue ocean somewhere near this red ocean and find a way to fish there.
