Niche Pursuits

From rental properties to a portfolio of websites, and back to real estate

Background

DIGITAL MARKETING

Before real estate, I built and scaled a portfolio of 20+ content sites: SEO, systems, content operations, and delegation at scale. That same infrastructure now drives deal flow, investor communication, and the operating systems behind every business I run.

Background

REAL ESTATE

I partner with private capital on high-quality infill development in Austin's most active submarkets. Today I'm actively developing in East Austin and Enfield — three architect-designed homes across two of the city's most sought-after neighborhoods.

Behind the Operation · The System

HOW THE OPERATION RUNS, IN SIX PARTS

Real estate is the day job. Behind it, one person and a small team of AI agents handle the routine work around the clock. Each part is simple on its own. Together they keep the businesses moving without me living in the inbox.

01

Rails

Scheduled jobs that do one thing well, every day.

  • the morning run
  • health checks
  • the backup that texts me
02

Standing orders

Plain-English rules the agents read before they act.

  • what they may do alone
  • what they ask first
  • what they never touch
03

The ops report

One page each morning. What ran, what broke, what is mine.

  • shipped
  • blocked
  • waiting on me
04

Closed loops

A report is half a job. The loop closes when the fix ships.

  • detect
  • decide
  • fix
  • verify live
05

Permission lanes

Narrow, written lanes for anything that touches a real person.

  • who
  • which channel
  • how often
  • logged every time
06

Real-world data

Public records, listings and filings turned into decisions.

  • county filings
  • deal screens
  • the weekly short list
