Virtual assistants

Surplus funds virtual assistants who know the work.

Surplus funds virtual assistants are trained callers who work your claimant outreach on foreclosure and tax sale surplus funds cases, so you can spend your day closing. Ours are trained by Excess Quest on surplus recovery specifically and work under an Excess Quest supervisor, in your timezone inside Surplus Funds.

Greeting
Hi, is this Sarah Johnson?
Wait for a yes before you go on.
Introduce yourself
This is Jane Doe with Sample Recovery Group. I'm calling about the property at 1204 Example Ave.
Surface the surplus
When that property sold at a tax sale on March 12, the sale brought in more than the judgment or tax lien. That extra money is surplus funds, and it is held for the former owner.
Give the estimate
Public records put the surplus at an estimated $31,280.
Pause and let it land. It stays an estimate until the county confirms it.
Open question
Has anyone from the county or the court been in touch with you about it?
Their answer tells you which rebuttal comes next.

What a VA
actually does

What our surplus funds virtual assistants handle, day to day, inside your Surplus Funds account.

First contact calls

Working your fresh leads while they are warm, using the approach that actually gets a former owner talking rather than a script that gets hung up on.

Follow up sequences

The second, third and fourth attempt that most operators never make, which is where a large share of signed cases actually come from.

Skip tracing

Chasing better numbers when a lead goes cold, including relatives and known associates on older cases where the owner has moved or passed.

Pipeline hygiene

Dispositioning every call in your CRM so your pipeline reflects reality and you are not calling the same person twice.

Document chasing

The unglamorous follow up on paperwork a claimant has promised and not sent, which is where signed cases stall.

Reporting

Activity on every case, visible inside your own CRM as it happens rather than summarised after the fact, and hours statements on request.

Plans

Standalone, for firms that want callers without changing anything else. A trained caller, with 40 hours a month of assistant time on your account, is also in the Reserve plan.

We commit to the hours in your plan, never to results. No one can honestly promise how many claimants will sign, and we will not pretend otherwise on a call or in a contract.
