An acquisitions manager negotiates with motivated sellers, analyzes deals, makes offers, and works to get properties under contract.

Acquisitions Manager explained

Acquisitions is the revenue side of seller conversations. The manager takes qualified leads, verifies condition and motivation, calculates a workable offer, and negotiates terms. In many teams, cold callers should not do this role; they should generate and qualify interest so the acquisitions manager can focus on higher-value calls. Strong handoff notes from VAs help acquisitions spend less time rediscovering facts and more time closing contracts.

Example

A seller lead comes in with photos, repair notes, and a target price. The acquisitions manager checks comps, calculates MAO, and presents the offer.
