You definitely should have a live person answer, but you definitely should NOT answer them yourself. Are you a real estate investor or a call center?

Most of your calls aren't going to be prospects. They're going to be suspects. Let your answering service prescreen out the suspects, and you call back the handful of prospects.

As an investor, you're looking for the people who NEED to sell, not just WANT to sell. Those people will not have a problem talking to your answering service.

I use PATLive. And they're already set up with scripts from Ron LeGrand. You can get a discounted account at www.patlive.com/ronlegrand
