You didn’t get into real estate to do desk work.

The showings and the negotiating are the job. The deadline tracking, the listing prep, the follow-up that never quite happens — I build software that takes that part off your desk, for agents, brokerages, investors, and property managers.

30 minutes. No pitch deck. You get the map either way.

Proof it isn’t a slide deck

I built these for my own real estate business first.

That’s why I know they hold up — and it’s how yours gets built too.

Custom CRM

Runs this consulting practice end to end — pipeline, tasks, invoicing, documents.

See it working

Twelve doors, one screen, updating as you scroll.

Illustrative data — a synthetic 12-door Charleston portfolio, not a client’s.

One door

It starts simple.

One property. Rent in, mortgage and expenses out, and a number at the bottom you could keep in your head.

Twelve doors

Then it stops fitting in your head.

Every door you add is another set of dates, another set of bills, another tab in the spreadsheet. This is the same chart, three years later.

Where it goes

Most of the rent was never yours.

Debt service, taxes, insurance, turns. Knowing the split is the difference between a portfolio you run and one that runs you.

Expected vs. actual

And whether it did what you said it would.

The line you underwrote against the money that actually landed. When those diverge, you want to find out in a dashboard — not at tax time.

One screen that tells the truth

Your pipeline, your portfolio, your team’s numbers — current, in one place, instead of spread across six spreadsheets and a CRM nobody trusts.

How it works

No 40-page proposal.

01

A 30-minute call

We walk through your week and find where the time actually goes. Free, and you get the map either way.

02

One thing, shipped

We pick the highest-leverage piece and I build it. You are using something real in weeks, not quarters.

03

Build out from there

Once it is earning its keep, we add the next piece. You own what gets built — no hostage software.

Who you’d be working with

I’m an engineer who invests in real estate.

Or a real estate investor who happens to build software — depends on the day. I built an analysis tool because I was tired of the spreadsheet. I built a portfolio dashboard because a dozen doors stopped fitting in my head. I built a CRM because this practice needed one.

There’s no team behind me and no account manager in between. You talk to the person building the thing, which is the entire reason it gets built around the way you actually work.

Questions people ask

What does this cost?

It depends entirely on what we build, and I will not know until after the call. Most engagements start with a fixed price for the first piece, so you are not signing up for an open meter. From there it is up to you — plenty of people keep me on to maintain and extend what is running.

How long until I am actually using something?

Weeks, not quarters. The first build is deliberately scoped to one workflow so it can land while you still remember asking for it.

Do I own what you build?

Yes. The code is yours, it runs on your accounts, and you can hand it to another developer whenever you want. No hostage software.

I already have a CRM. Does this replace it?

Usually not. Most of what I build sits alongside the tools you already pay for and fills the gap they left — the part you are currently doing by hand in a spreadsheet.

Let’s find what to automate first.

Tell me what’s eating your week. I’ll send back a custom report on what could actually come off your desk — before we ever get on a call.

30 minutes. No pitch deck. You get the map either way.
