Job Description

Lead Manager / Virtual Assistant

About the Company

Our client is a growing real estate investment company specializing in purchasing homes directly from property owners. The company provides homeowners with a straightforward way to receive a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours and operates across real estate wholesaling, property flipping, and long-term holdings.

The company uses a combination of technology, AI-powered outreach, and a dedicated acquisitions team to identify opportunities and provide homeowners with efficient solutions for selling their properties.

Role Overview

We are seeking a proactive and confident Lead Manager / Virtual Assistant to manage and qualify warm seller leads generated through the company's AI-powered outreach system.

The company's AI platform handles the initial stages of outreach through calls, texts, and emails. Once a prospective seller engages and demonstrates interest, the Lead Manager will take over the conversation, gather the necessary information, qualify the opportunity, and schedule appointments for the acquisitions team.

This isnot a passive administrative VA position. The ideal candidate is assertive, comfortable leading conversations, and capable of asking thoughtful follow-up questions to uncover a seller's motivation, situation, timeline, and property details.
