Can Virtual Assistants help Real Estate Agents Negotiate Short Sales more efficiently?

Posted by Owen McGab Enaohwo

The “short” in short sale simply means that the amount paid at the sale of a property on behalf of the borrower for an outstanding mortgage is less than the amount owed. But there is nothing “short” in the  short sale process. In fact I think it should be called “long sale” because real estate professionals who specilize in short sale transactions are well aware that patience and diligent follow up is the name of the game.

The current Real Estate Market

 

Due to the increasing numbers of distressed homeowners, there has been an upsurge in the number of potential short sales available to real estate agents. Many of these homeowners will need someone to negotiate their short sale once they have decided that it’s the best option for them to use to avoid foreclosure. The sheer amount of documents that needs to be prepared as well as the time one spends on the phone going back and forth with lenders during a short sale negotiation makes investing in a Virtual Assistant (VA) a strategic decision to make.

How a Real Estate Agent can increase their number of Broker Price Opinion assignments by hiring a Virtual Assistant

The current need for BPOs

 

Banks and other Lending Institutions are currently overwhelmed with a record number of properties needing Broker Price Opinions (BPOs). This is an opportunity for Real Estate Agents to increase their earnings by getting paid; usually within 30 days or earlier for their BPO services. It is an additional stream of income for agents since they do not have to depend on getting paid only when a property is sold. But accepting large number of BPO assignments can be a daunting task especially if you want to handle the entire process all by yourself. Is there a way to increase the number of BPO orders you accept while making sure that the quality of your work exceeds the expectations of the BPO companies? Before I answer that question let me explain what a BPO is for those who don’t already know.

Earning a profit is your main business goal; your profits depend on your earnings, continuous promotion of services, network building, and deal closing.

When your business starts to grow, daily activity in running the business gets spent answering phone calls, booking orders, filling up invoices, filing all types of information and all other related paper work. Hence, keeping track of marketing strategies, business development and earnings gets out of your focus and attention. You will end up with a pile of tasks and details that just brings everything else in your life to a stand still.

 

work stress - too much ToDos

 

Using the traditional approach

As a response to this pile up of tasks important to keep your business going, at first you might decide to use the traditional solution of hiring employees to do all the paper work and customer support. The employee you hire then reports to work 8 hours a day, Monday to Friday; you must first have in place all the necessary office equipment and furniture– which becomes an expense on your part. At the end of the day, the employee stops working, and your office closes for the night. All the needed work is restarted on the next business day.
