As a buyer you don't need to be a realtor to make offers, so unless you enjoyed playing the telephone game in school the more folks you eliminate between you and the seller the better for the both of you.

I.E. telephone and advertising costs haven't been accounted for and all the management, payroll, and all types of repairs and improvements are lumped as one sum.

Different Time Zones: VAs applying for telephone jobs typically assume they'll be working US hours, regardless of their location (although clarifying is always good).Working Hours: My VA is available from 8am - 8pm EST and takes approx 4 hour break when the calls start to die down which is typically 12pm-4pm EST.

He occasionally has telephone discussions from California with the management company in Nevada regarding the property.

You can't just jump into DO YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN SELLING.The way I do it is like this: "Hi, this is Lucas Machado (always introduce yourself - so they don't say WHO IS THIS)I was hoping to speak to [owner name] (take a brief pause, so they will hopefully identify themselves - lots of miss-hits on telephone info)Ok - I saw in the public record you owned XYZ property (hopefully another YES)Ok great.
