The Broker's Challenge
Your day shouldn't look like this
Every broker knows these frustrations. They slow you down, cost you deals, and keep you from what you do best—connecting parties and closing business.
Time lost to many email threads and manual offer distribution
Every offer requires individual emails to multiple parties. Copy-paste the same details into each one. Tracking responses means managing dozens of threads.
Hours wasted on admin, deals slip away
Limited calculation capacity
Manual voyage calculations slow down your ability to price competitively. Without automated tools, evaluating multiple options takes too long.
Missed opportunities and slow responses
Phone tag and no visibility into offer status
Calling parties to check if they've seen your offer, if they're interested, if they want to counter. No visibility into where deals stand.
Reactive instead of proactive
Spreadsheets cause versioning errors and lost information
Tracking offers, counters, and fixtures in spreadsheets. Version control issues. Multiple people updating the same file leads to confusion.
Confusion and lost information
