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.
What a VA
actually does
What our surplus funds virtual assistants handle, day to day, inside your Surplus Funds account.
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.
The second, third and fourth attempt that most operators never make, which is where a large share of signed cases actually come from.
Chasing better numbers when a lead goes cold, including relatives and known associates on older cases where the owner has moved or passed.
Dispositioning every call in your CRM so your pipeline reflects reality and you are not calling the same person twice.
The unglamorous follow up on paperwork a claimant has promised and not sent, which is where signed cases stall.
Activity on every case, visible inside your own CRM as it happens rather than summarised after the fact, and hours statements on request.
