Property listings for most offices are available on the Internet or by direct mail.
Regional offices whose Internet sites are not fully functional issue sales listings in local newspapers. The properties are available for sale to the general public through the services of private sector real estate brokers, and are sold to homebuyers and investors and to veterans and nonveterans. Real estate brokers receive the keys to properties and assist prospective purchasers in finding, viewing and offering to purchase them. Participating brokers receive instructional material regarding the sales program and are familiar with VA sales procedures. VA pays the sales commission.
