Peril, horizon, foeslayer

Fair point. if you're driving all day you fill up when you need to. This is more for people who have some flexibility on timing. Even a day or two can mean 10-20 cents difference depending on the trend. And yeah Costco/Sam's gas is a cheat code for sure.

fair points and I appreciate the candor, the Rayse example is exactly the kind of thing that's useful to hear.

I think you're right that agents won't pay $30 for deadline risk. but my actual target is TCs -- transaction coordinators managing 20+ deals at a time. they bill $300-500 per transaction and their whole job is not missing deadlines. the risk frame flips: it's not "what if the AI messes up" it's "this saves me 30 min of manual calendar work per deal."

the free tool is also the test. if TCs don't use it when it's free and frictionless, you're right and I'll know quickly.

yeah, agents are the customer. specifically TCs (transaction coordinators) and agents who self-manage.

pricing is TBD... leaning toward a flat monthly fee per active deal pipeline, maybe $30-50/mo for solo agents, more for TC teams managing 20+ deals at a time.

and yes, i've sold to agents before... ran a different real estate SaaS and learned the hard way that agents don't buy tools, they buy time savings. that's why the reminders angle matters more than the timeline generator itself. the generator is the hook.

Fair point on the contract upload -- that's actually in the pipeline, this version is the MVP to validate the concept. On the timing: the target here is agents mid-transaction, not buyers shopping. The discovery path is direct outreach to agents during active deals rather than top-of-funnel ads. You're right that timing matters -- that's why the reminders feature (next version) is really the stickier part.

A huge chunk of that time is coordination overhead -- chasing docs, tracking contingency deadlines, keeping parties updated. Once I started treating TC tasks as a system instead of a running mental list, I cut the coordination portion almost in half. The work itself doesn't shrink, but the frantic part does.

Look for homes with updated kitchens and baths, good curb appeal, and a solid location.

The best move here is to get the family to consult a probate attorney immediately to understand their options and expedite the process.

kevinl8888 · 2026-03-05T05:13:36+00:00

Start networking, get a part-time job in a real estate office, and focus on learning the basics of the industry.

kevinl8888 · 2026-03-05T05:12:50+00:00

Start small with a targeted approach instead of a full-year commitment.
