Build real estate CRM systems that turn leads into appointments and appointments into closed deals
Most real estate teams don't have a lead problem, they have a system problem.
Leads come in, but there's no structured follow-up. Pipelines exist, but they don't get worked. Automation is set up, but it's disconnected.
That's where I come in.
I help real estate agents, teams, brokers, and ISAs design and implement complete CRM systems, combining pipeline strategy, automation, and SMS compliance to drive consistent closings.
WHAT I HELP YOU ACHIEVE
✅ Turn new leads into booked appointments
✅ Increase repeat and referral business with smart automation
✅ Improve response times, follow-up rates, and conversions
✅ Build a structured, scalable CRM system
✅ Save time with fully automated workflows
▸ CRM SETUP & PIPELINE STRATEGY
Your pipeline shouldn't just exist, it should get worked.
I plan and execute:
✅ Pipeline strategy and stage mapping
✅ Buyer, seller, and referral pipeline builds
✅ Lead intake forms and tagging structure
✅ Smart lists, filters, and lead segmentation
✅ CRM cleanup and optimization
▸ LEAD ROUTING & FOLLOW-UP AUTOMATION
This is where deals are actually won, in the backend.
You'll get:
✅ Instant lead response and speed-to-lead workflows
✅ Lead nurturing and long-term drip sequences
✅ Missed-call text-back and reactivation flows
✅ Round-robin routing and ISA handoff systems
✅ Fully connected workflows across your tools
Platforms include:
Lofty, Follow Up Boss, GoHighLevel, Twilio
▸ SMS COMPLIANCE & CRM INTEGRATION
If your texts aren't compliant, they don't get delivered.
I set up:
✅ Twilio configuration and A2P 10DLC registration
✅ Opt-in and messaging compliance workflows
✅ CRM-to-Twilio connections for automated follow-up
✅ Webhooks and API integrations
✅ IDX, website, and lead source connections
Tools:
Twilio, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets

I have more than 10 years of experience helping SMBs save time and streamline operations.

I've been working with platforms like OpenAI and Zapier to create powerful, automated solutions. I can help you leverage AI to improve your operations, whether it's generating/summarizing content dynamically, evaluating job applicants, or conducting market analysis - if you can think of it, then we can probably build it together.

Clear communication and collaboration are essential to any project's success. I work closely with my clients to understand their goals, provide updates, and ensure their vision is brought to life.

I specialize in growth operations for real estate investors, wholesalers, and flippers, helping them eliminate inefficiencies, automate workflows, and scale their deal flow with AI and automation. If you’re spending too much time managing leads, following up, or tracking KPIs manually, I can build a system that does the work for you.
I’m new to Upwork and focused on building relationships and earning great reviews. That means I’m flexible on pricing—my priority is delivering real value and proving what I can do.
How I Can Help:
• CRM Automation & Lead Management – Get your RE Simpli, HighLevel, Airtable, or Podio set up and running on autopilot.
• AI-Powered Systems – Automate lead follow-ups, investor communication, and dispo pipelines with AI chatbots and smart workflows.
• KPI Dashboards & Performance Tracking – Get real-time insights into your acquisitions, dispo, and marketing performance without the manual work.
• Lead Generation Optimization – Improve cold calling, PPC (Google & Facebook Ads), and UGC strategies to bring in more motivated sellers.
Why Work With Me?
• I get things done. No fluff, no wasted time—just systems that work.
• I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve built and scaled my own real estate business, closing over 100 deals, completing flips, acquiring rentals, and generating over $1 million in assignment fees—so I understand what it takes to create real, scalable systems.
• You set the price. I’m open to working within your budget as I build my Upwork profile.
Why Work With Others If I Have My Own Investing Company?
I love building systems, networking, and helping investors grow. Real estate is a relationships-driven business, and working with other investors allows me to stay sharp, exchange ideas, and create solutions that help us all scale faster. I’m actively in the business myself, so everything I build is designed to be practical, efficient, and results-driven—because I use it too.
If you want to automate your real estate business, close more deals, and scale faster, let’s connect.

I build B2B cold email and AI-calling systems that book qualified meetings. Most companies struggling with outbound don’t have a messaging problem — they have a system problem, and I build the entire infrastructure that fixes it.
$300K+ earned on Upwork. 100 jobs. 82+ campaigns launched. 132 sending domains under management right now.
Recent results: 32 qualified meetings booked for a real estate client in 60 days · 4.7% reply rate on a SaaS campaign.

🔧 What I Build:
Full Outbound Infrastructure (Most Popular)
ICP definition → list building → Clay enrichment → Instantly cold email setup → AI voice agents (Bland AI / Vapi) → CRM integration. You get a done-for-you outbound system that runs without you.
Cold Email Systems
Domain setup, DNS configuration (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), inbox warmup, and personalized sequences in Instantly built for deliverability, not just volume. Open rates that actually mean something.
AI Voice Agents & AI Cold Calling
Configure and deploy AI voice agents and AI receptionists for appointment setting, follow-up, and lead qualification. Integrated with your CRM so every call outcome is tracked automatically.
Lead List Building & Enrichment
ICP-targeted prospect lists built in Apollo and enriched in Clay with personalized variables. Verified and segmented before a single email or call goes out.
CRM Setup & Sales Automation
HubSpot, GoHighLevel, and Salesforce configuration — pipelines, workflows, and automations that track every lead from first touch to closed deal.
---
🎯 Who I Work With:
✔️ Real estate investors and brokers scaling deal flow
✔️ Healthcare companies targeting facilities and providers
✔️ AI startups building their first sales pipeline
✔️ Professional services firms replacing referral dependency

⚙️ Tools I Work In:
Clay · Instantly · Apollo · Bland AI · Vapi · HubSpot · GoHighLevel · Salesforce · Google Workspace

Three ways to work together:
Tier 1 — Cold Email or AI Calling Setup (from $1,500): Full infrastructure build, one channel, one audience
Tier 2 — Complete Outbound System (from $3,000): Both channels, ICP + list building, Clay enrichment, AI voice agents
Tier 3 — Done-For-You Partner (from $2,500/mo): I run the campaigns, report weekly, optimize monthly
Send a message with what you’re selling and who you’re targeting. I’ll tell you exactly what your outbound system needs.

I build client management systems and financial dashboards for small business owners — Dubsado and HoneyBook workflows that run your intake-to-invoice process automatically, Airtable systems that replace scattered spreadsheets, and Google Sheets dashboards that show you where your money is actually going.
What I do:
CRM & Client Workflows: Dubsado and HoneyBook setups that automate lead intake, proposals, contracts, and invoicing without manual intervention.
Operations & Systems: Company hubs, trackers, and workflows in Airtable, Notion, and Zapier built so your team actually uses them.
Financial Dashboards: Clean Google Sheets models tracking revenue, expenses, and margins — designed for owners, not data analysts.
SOPs & Process Documentation: Translating daily operations out of people's heads into structured, step-by-step documentation anyone can execute.
Data Cleanup & Architecture: Turning broken spreadsheets and multi-platform exports into reliable, automated weekly reporting.
A recent example:
A business owner came to me juggling his numbers across scattered spreadsheets and gut feel. I built him a Google Sheets operations hub with automated calculations and plain-language decision guides built directly into the sheet. It is what he runs his cleaning business on today, and he uses it live on calls with his own consulting clients. His direct feedback is in the testimonials below.
How I work:
I ask the right operational questions before building anything. I’d rather flag an underlying bottleneck in your data than quietly guess at what you need. I build systems you can easily run and adapt yourself after the project ends — if it falls apart without me, I didn't do my job.
About me:
I have 12 years of experience across data analytics, systems architecture, and process improvement — modernizing agency reporting, structuring tracking systems, and translating raw data into clear business decisions. Bilingual in English (native) and Spanish (advanced).
If your backend operations feel disorganized or you're making decisions without a clear financial picture, send me a message and tell me what you're trying to fix. I'll take a look and give you an honest assessment of how to solve it.
