Operations & automationThe Lowcountry to Myrtle Beach and beyond

Property management.Work orders, dues, and owner statements that move without you pushing.

Long-term rentals, HOAs, or both: the back office is follow-up work. Month-end closes that drag deep into the month, maintenance living in texts and on a whiteboard, dues notices going out late and inconsistently — and every June through November, a storm in the Gulf can turn the whole office into a claims-documentation shop. I build the systems that do the pushing, with a person signing off on anything that matters.

Let’s TalkHow I work
The proof, live

You will see what it saves.

Every client gets a private portal: what ran, what it saved, and the math behind the number. You will never wonder what you’re paying for. And when something breaks — things break — you see it caught and fixed, not silence.

The dashboard here is sample data. Yours shows your numbers, counted conservatively, with the arithmetic visible.

What eats the week

Sound familiar?

01
Month-end close drags deep into the month — and owners still catch errors.
Three-way trust reconciliation in QuickBooks plus spreadsheets, then statements assembled and emailed one by one. In South Carolina the trust account is a licensing matter with monthly reconciliation required, so “a little behind” is exposure, not just delay.
Common
02
Maintenance lives in texts, voicemails, and a whiteboard.
Requests come in five ways, vendors get chased by phone, and nobody can prove what got done when. Slow maintenance is what loses tenants — and an untracked request is how a small repair becomes a legal problem.
Common
03
Dues, late fees, and notices go out late and inconsistently — and the board notices.
Manual posting, hand-written reminders, a stale aging report at every meeting. Inconsistent enforcement isn’t just sloppy; it’s the kind of thing that gets challenged.
Common
04
Hurricane season runs your office for six months a year.
Wind-versus-flood deductibles, dated photos, adjuster reports, contractor bids, anxious absentee owners — all tracked by hand, stacked on top of the normal workload, every June through November.

“He gave me my Tuesday mornings back.”
— Nobody yet. This space is reserved for my first property management clients, and I intend to earn it.
How it works

Four steps. Clear terms.

  1. A free conversation. Phone or in person. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll say so and point you to someone better suited.
  2. A paid assessment. I map how your operation actually runs and write down exactly where the time goes. The document is yours to keep either way.
  3. A fixed-price proposal. Defined scope, one price, no hourly meter running.
  4. The build, and after. Built once, to fit your operation exactly. Monitored after hand-off, with a monthly plain-language report of what ran and what it saved. Automations nobody watches break silently; mine don’t.

The longer version, and the work behind it, is on the home page.

Let’s talk

A first conversation,
at no charge.

If something on this page sounded familiar, the next step is a conversation. Write a few sentences about what is going on. I’ll read it before we talk.
