01 — Background

A practitioner before an advisor.

With 16+ years of experience across Alberta and Ontario real estate markets — as a licensed REALTOR®, brokerage operator, founder, and PropTech builder — I work at the messy intersection where regulation, distribution, and technology actually meet.

Today, I'm the founder of Ohmer — an AI-driven real estate ecosystem combining a digital brokerage, an AI co-pilot app, and a home-management platform under one roof for Canadian homeowners.

I take on a small number of advisory engagements each year with founders, brokerage owners, and PropTech teams serious about compounding their advantage with AI and automation.

05 — Case Studies

Selected work, told plainly.

Educational and strategic summaries of real engagements. Confidential commercial and investor specifics intentionally omitted.

01
Brokerage Systems

Building AI-powered recruitment and lead systems for a modern brokerage

How we replaced a hand-run brokerage operation with an automation stack covering recruiting, onboarding, CRM hygiene, and round-robin lead routing — without growing headcount.

  • Automated recruiting funnel feeding a structured onboarding workflow
  • Lead routing logic that scores, assigns, and re-cycles untouched leads
  • CRM & follow-up automations replacing manual agent admin
  • Operating dashboard giving leadership real-time visibility into pipeline health
  • Outcome: materially faster speed-to-lead and a recruiting pipeline that compounds monthly
02
PropTech Ecosystem

Building an AI-driven real estate ecosystem

Inside the architecture of Ohmer — a single mobile app that bundles three AI products around the homeowner: search, ownership, and selling.

  • Vision: a Canadian-first AI real estate co-pilot for the entire ownership lifecycle
  • AI model strategy spanning search intent, valuation, and home intelligence
  • Marketplace and ecosystem design connecting consumers, agents, and service providers
  • Operational complexity managed through clear data, identity, and product boundaries
  • Outcome: private beta launched with a clear data and intelligence moat
03
Operational Cost

How automation can reduce brokerage operational costs

A practical, high-level look at how GHL-based workflows, follow-up systems, and operational automations replace meaningful chunks of brokerage admin overhead.

  • GHL as the operational hub for marketing, CRM, and follow-up
  • Workflow design that absorbs work previously done by admins and ISAs
  • Follow-up sequences that resurrect old leads and protect agent attention
  • Scaling playbook: where to automate first, second, and last
  • Outcome: a repeatable framework brokerages can adopt without rebuilding their tech stack
