I can finally recruit and welcome new team members and focus on growing the business instead of losing myself in the weeds.

- Chris Burke

The Challenge

Chris is a real estate investor who buys and sells properties. He started alone and began delegating tasks, but as the business grew, things got complicated fast.

  • Growing number of properties to manage with no clear system
  • No reliable, organized way to store SOPs, hard to find and separate from tasks
  • Couldn't keep track of what contractors were doing
  • Spent too much time on administrative tasks instead of growing the business

Chris felt stuck. He couldn't move his business forward, couldn't hire a team because he alone had a hard time keeping up with all the properties he had to manage.

The Solution

We built a Minimum Viable Notion System focused on the core workflow: property acquisition → management → sales. Then layered in automations to remove manual busywork.

Phase 1: Audit existing processes

  • Documented how Chris was actually operating day-to-day
  • Identified where time was being lost (manual comparisons, scattered SOPs)

Phase 2: Create a unified process board

  • Combined all processes into one clear, step-by-step workflow
  • Centralized and organized everything from start to finish

Phase 3: Build the Notion system

  • Counties dashboard for tracking marketing performance by region
  • Team teamspace so Chris knows each member's workload at a glance
  • Property stages view showing all properties in one place

Phase 4: Automate the repetitive work

  • Due Diligence comparison automation: alerts when differences are found
  • Buyer intake automation: emails auto-populate the database, saving 10+ min per buyer

The Results

  • Saved 3+ hours/week on Due Diligence comparisons alone
  • Saved 10+ hours/week on task communication to contractors
  • Clear visibility into sales performance by county
  • Can now manage significantly more properties without chaos
  • Hired 2 new team members and scaling further

Key Takeaways

A dream without a system is just chaos wearing a nice suit.

Systems aren't cold or rigid. They're containers for your energy and pathways for your purpose.

When your systems run, your mind is free to focus on what truly matters.
