Tired of Cold Calling? How Smart Realtors Are Closing More Deals with Filipino VAs

Tired of Cold Calling? How Smart Realtors Are Closing More Deals with Filipino VAs

By Beyond Business, June 22, 2025

For most realtors, cold calling is the job you love to hate. It's essential for lead generation—but it can feel like a full-time grind. Between voicemails, rejections, and no-shows, even the best agents get burned out. If you're spending more time dialling than closing, there’s a smarter way forward.

Many top-performing agents are now hiring Filipino virtual assistants (VAs) trained in real estate cold calling to handle the outreach, nurture leads, and tee up qualified prospects—so you can spend more time selling, and less time chasing.

Why Cold Calling Is a Realtor’s Bottleneck

Let’s face it—every successful deal starts with a conversation. But getting people on the phone is harder than ever. Here’s what’s working against you:

  • Low response rates from expireds and FSBOs
  • Gatekeepers and spam filters
  • Time zone mismatches
  • High rejection rate, which affects morale
  • Follow-up fatigue, where warm leads go cold from neglect

The result? You’re left juggling dozens of dials a day, managing a CRM, and praying someone picks up. It’s draining—and it’s not scalable.


Enter: Your Filipino Cold Calling VA

Filipino VAs are known for their excellent communication skills, work ethic, and real estate fluency. When properly trained, they can act as your first line of contact, handling:

  • Cold and warm lead calls
  • Initial prospect screening
  • Script-based qualification
  • Appointment setting
  • CRM updates and task tracking

At BBVA, we recruit VAs specifically for these outbound roles, pairing you with talent that’s confident on the phone, persistent, and personable—without the burnout.


Real Estate Lead Types Our VAs Can Call

🎯 FSBOs (For Sale by Owners) – Position your services as a professional solution to DIY headaches

📉 Expired Listings – Re-engage property owners whose previous agents couldn’t close

💬 Inbound Inquiries – Quickly respond before a hot lead cools down

🏠 Open House Leads – Follow up with interested buyers and get feedback

🧾 Old CRM Data – Reactivate past prospects hiding in your database

With a VA on your team, you don’t lose money every time you miss a follow-up call.


Why Filipino VAs Are a Realtor’s Secret Weapon

✔️ Neutral accent and fluent English

✔️ Comfortable following proven cold-calling scripts

✔️ Naturally warm, professional tone

✔️ US time zone flexibility

✔️ Lower cost than in-house callers or dialer agencies

And when you hire through BBVA, you’re getting pre-screened cold calling specialists—not generic VAs.
