Shiftworks

Shiftworks · For real estate teams

Never let a lead go cold again.

Agents lose deals in the gaps: the lead answered four hours late, the follow-up that never went out, the deadline nobody was watching. We build the systems that close those gaps, priced for a solo agent, proven with teams.

The portal lead that waited.

You were in a showing; the lead texted a competitor.

The listing that ate an afternoon.

Description, captions, email blast, every single time.

The follow-up that never happened.

Open house sign-ins and old clients, sitting silent in the CRM.

The deadline sweat.

Option periods, financing dates, and inspections tracked in your head.

Agent Quick Start

$1,200

One automation, shipped in one week: pick your worst gap (speed-to-lead, listing launch, or open-house follow-up), we build it on your existing tools, train you on it, done. Credited toward the full assessment if you go deeper.

This gives solo agents a real door; the $5,000 assessment remains the entry for teams and brokerages.

Assess

AI Opportunity Assessment

In two weeks you will know exactly where AI saves your team time and money, and what to build first.

How it works, four steps:

  1. 01

    Working session. A recorded 90-minute structured walk through your operations: where work piles up, what gets dreaded, what you have tried to automate and abandoned.

  2. 02

    Analysis. We map every pain point to a concrete fix: an automation, a Claude skill, or an off-the-shelf tool where one genuinely fits. Grounded in the research our pattern library cites, specific to your business.

  3. 03

    The report. Decision-ready: an executive summary, findings on an effort-versus-impact matrix, quick wins you can ship this month, the bigger projects worth planning, a 30-day quick-start plan, and the projected hours back per week.

  4. 04

    Review session. A 60-minute walkthrough, recommendation by recommendation, with time for the hard questions.

Fixed fee: $5,000. Credited in full toward any build booked within 90 days, so if we keep working together, the assessment is effectively free. If it surfaces nothing worth fixing, you do not pay.

Marisol Vega Realty

Solo agent · 28 transactions a year

Challenge. A top producer working seven days a week, certain the hours were leaking but not where.

What happened. The assessment mapped one full week and found 11 hours in admin: lead responses drafted from scratch, listing marketing rebuilt per property, and follow-up done from memory. The report's quick wins: a speed-to-lead responder, a listing launch skill, and an open-house follow-up sequence.

Outcomes. 11 hours a week back within the first month. ROI math: 11 hrs x $95 effective rate x 4.3 = $4,492 per month in recovered selling time, before a single extra closing. She took Saturdays back instead.

Kestrel Realty Group

Boutique brokerage · 12 agents

Challenge. The broker wanted "an AI chatbot on the website" because a competitor had one.

What happened. The assessment showed the site got too little traffic for a chatbot to matter, and found the real leak in the CRM: 1,900 dormant past clients and leads nobody had touched in a year. Recommendation: kill the chatbot, spend a fraction of the budget on a re-engagement system with human review on every send.

Outcomes. The re-engagement sequence produced 3 new listings and 2 buyer contracts inside 90 days, from contacts the brokerage already owned. The highest-ROI finding was, again, the project not built.

Build

Automation and Claude skills

The build work. We take the workflows that eat your team’s week and turn them into systems that run themselves, with a human in the loop where judgment matters.

Scoped per build. Most begin as a quick win from the assessment and pay for themselves within weeks. Maintenance retainers available as your processes change.

The two-minute lead response

Bluebonnet Homes Team · 6 agents

Challenge. Portal leads (Zillow, Realtor.com) sat an average of 3.5 hours because agents were in showings, and stale leads booked with whoever answered first.

What happened. A speed-to-lead automation now replies within two minutes: a personalized text and email drafted from the inquiry and the property, the lead logged in the CRM, and the on-duty agent pinged with a one-line brief. A human takes over from the first real reply.

Outcomes. Median response time fell from 3.5 hours to under 2 minutes, booked showings from portal leads rose 40%, and the team attributes one additional closing per quarter to leads that would have gone cold, roughly $8K in GCI each. ROI math: the build paid for itself before the first extra closing, on time savings alone.

The listing launch kit

Marisol Vega Realty

Challenge. Every listing meant an afternoon of production: MLS description, social captions, an email blast, all from scratch.

What happened. A Claude skill takes the property facts and photos and drafts the full kit in her voice: description, three caption variants, the email, and a print flyer draft. She edits and ships.

Outcomes. 2.5 hours per listing down to about 25 minutes, across roughly 2 listings a month, and the marketing goes out the day photos arrive instead of three days later. ROI math: 4 hrs/month x $95 = $380 per month back, and faster launches mean more first-weekend showings.

The deadline watcher

Kestrel Realty Group

Challenge. Contract-to-close ran on memory and sticky notes: option periods, inspection windows, financing deadlines, across a dozen concurrent transactions.

What happened. A skill reads each executed contract, builds the deadline calendar, and drafts the reminder emails to all parties three days ahead, with a human approving every send. A daily digest shows the broker every transaction's next date.

Outcomes. Zero missed deadlines across 60 transactions in two quarters, and the office manager reclaimed about 6 hours a week of manual tracking. ROI math: 6 hrs x $42 x 4.3 = $1,083 per month, before pricing the deadline that did not get missed.

Websites and AI products

Design leadership plus an AI-accelerated build. Marketing sites, dashboards, internal tools, and product UI, designed properly and shipped in weeks: modern stack, fast, accessible, and maintainable. The same way this site was built.

Harbor & Oak Realty

Challenge. Every active listing generated the same buyer questions on repeat: HOA fees, school zone, roof age, showing availability.

What happened. Each listing gets a one-page microsite with an assistant trained only on that property's seller-verified facts: it answers around the clock, cites the fact sheet, captures showing requests, and flags novel questions to the agent.

Outcomes. Across three listings, the assistants handled 200+ buyer questions and captured 31 after-hours showing requests that previously landed in voicemail. The agents answered only the questions that needed a human.

The agent site that finally converts

Marisol Vega Realty

Challenge. Her old site was a template with a photo and a dead contact form.

What happened. A rebuilt one-page site around a single action: a home-value request that responds instantly with a range and books a call. Neighborhood pages refresh from her own sold data.

Outcomes. Form dead-ends became booked conversations: 9 valuation requests in the first month, 4 became listing appointments. Shipped in two weeks.

Training and advisory

Workshops: a half-day or full-day working session for your team. Practical AI for your actual business: your workflows, your tools, your first automations built live in the room. Teams leave with something running, not a slide deck.

Advisory: an ongoing engagement for teams that want a senior AI hand on call. Two 45-minute working sessions per month plus async access between them. Each month we take one workflow through the same loop: audit how it works today, cut the fat, automate it, then move to the next. A running log keeps everything we have shipped in view. Limited seats; when the roster is full, it is full.

The lunch-and-learn that shipped

Kestrel Realty Group

Challenge. Twelve agents, twelve different levels of AI curiosity, zero shared practice.

What happened. A half-day workshop where every agent built the listing-description skill on their own laptop, live, using a real active listing. The afternoon turned it into an office playbook.

Outcomes. All twelve left with the skill running; the office estimates 1.5 hours saved per agent per listing since. Two agents built their own follow-up automations from the playbook within a month.

The team that ships one system a month

Bluebonnet Homes Team, advisory retainer

Challenge. Plenty of ideas after the assessment, no senior hand to keep shipping between closings.

What happened. The monthly loop: two working sessions a month, one workflow at a time. First quarter shipped speed-to-lead, the open-house follow-up sequence, and a review-collection automation that asks at the right moment after closing.

Outcomes. 14 team hours a week reclaimed by quarter's end, and Google reviews grew 2.1x because asking stopped depending on remembering. The running log keeps every shipped system and its savings in front of the team lead.
