Case Study / Real Estate Deal Monitoring System
A custom system that helps real estate investors find deals before everyone else on the internet.
We built this for a Los Angeles based real estate investment company who needed more than alerts. The system continuously monitors 30+ sources, detects new opportunities fast, enriches them with county-level property data, and routes them into one operator workflow so the team can move while there is still an edge.
Client
Real Estate Investment Company
Coverage
30+ monitored sources across listings, groups, and feeds
Outcome
Faster discovery, faster context, faster first contact
Company Profile
A source-heavy acquisitions business that needed speed, context, and one place to operate.
Market
Greater Los Angeles and surrounding areas
Team
6-person acquisitions and lead-handling team
Source Mix
Facebook Groups, Zillow, Craigslist, ForSaleByOwner, PropStream, manual submissions, county records
Previous Stack
Browser tabs, saved searches, spreadsheets, DMs, emails, and scattered county lookups
The Challenge
The investor did not need more listing websites. The investor needed a speed advantage.
The acquisitions team was manually checking Facebook groups, Zillow, Craigslist, and multiple other sources throughout the day. Average time from listing posted to internal review was 3.1 hours, which in this kind of business is a nice way to be second.
The team was reviewing roughly 140-190 raw opportunities per week, but most of that effort was wasted on manual triage, duplicate checking, and piecing together property context from multiple places.
Even when a promising listing appeared, the team still had to pull assessor details, cross-check ownership context, decide whether it fit the buy box, and figure out who should respond. Fast lead discovery was being canceled out by slow internal handling.
Audit Highlights
The Architecture
Built around the real operational chain: monitor, qualify, enrich, route, act.
System Layer
Source Monitoring Layer
Continuous monitoring across 30+ sources, including Facebook Groups, Zillow, Craigslist, FSBO-style listings, PropStream, and additional tracked feeds. The system was built so the investor could expand source coverage without expanding headcount.
System Layer
Lead Detection And Filtering
New listings are checked immediately against business-specific filters like price, geography, property type, and investment criteria. The software does the first pass so the team is not buried under raw noise.
System Layer
County And Public-Record Enrichment
Once a lead is detected, the platform attaches county-level assessor and public-record details to give the acquisitions team a better starting point than the original post ever would.
System Layer
Routing And Operator Workflow
Qualified leads land inside one dashboard, can be assigned by market or criteria, and move through a workflow built for review, notes, prioritization, and immediate follow-up.
The useful part was not just seeing a new listing first. The useful part was seeing it with enough context, in one place, fast enough that the team could actually do something with it before everyone else started circling.
Implementation
Rolled out in stages so the team could use it early, then keep tightening signal quality over time.
Source Coverage + Intake
Connected the first source set, normalized incoming listings, and created one live dashboard for new opportunities.
Filtering + Enrichment
Added buy-box filtering and county-level enrichment so the team could see what mattered without opening five more tabs.
Routing + Team Views
Introduced assignment logic, operator workflows, and team-specific handling so different agents could cover different opportunity types without overlap.
Alerting + Refinement
Tightened alerting, reduced noisy matches, and tuned the system around the investor's actual deal preferences and response process.
Results
The system reduced delay, cut manual triage, and gave the team a real speed advantage on qualified opportunities.

Need Something Like This?
If your business depends on speed, signal quality, and acting before everyone else, generic software is usually where the problem starts.
We build custom business software around real workflows, ugly inputs, edge cases, and actual commercial pressure. Real estate just happens to be one very obvious example.
