I have great reviews, great landlord reviews, great cleaning crew, and everything is in automation mode.

One would think that if you are capped at 10%, it would be automated and not kick out these crazy numbers.

My thoughts are that automation is what will kill agency.  

Gave the listing agent a call to see if I could do a walkthrough, but he is out of office without access to email according to his automated message.How would you all deal with such a tight time frame of less than a week to view the property being auctioned?

I haven't even begun to play around with automations or all that the system can do, but it's worked great so far for me as an email blast.

I also would like to do some research on email campaigns to find a way to automate sending emails automatically on a regular basis to homeowners that we receive email addresses from. 

As far as comping tools, both for automated and manual comping, are there some you like?

Since we didn't know it was difficult we simply learned it, automated it, and have expanded.

I know the easy answer is "deals closed," but what I'm really looking for is what metric would allow you to simply focus on doing what you do best without needing to worry about generating and nurturing leads.For a bit more context, I'll be coming in and automating my clients path to purchasing new deals by generating leads, engaging with these leads to learn more about the property and their situation, scheduling inspections/consultations, delivering offers, getting what's needed to close, even getting reviews after the purchase.

im a computer programmer by trade, so Im always looking at ways to automate things.
