The Bottleneck of Manual Growth

RE Innovation buys foreclosed properties at Spanish bank auctions. Every opportunity required days of manual document review - ownership records, debt history, court filings. One analyst, 10 hours per property. By the time they finished reviewing, half the auctions had already closed. Good deals were going to competitors simply because there weren't enough hours in the day.

    Slow Document Analysis

    Every auction required 10 hours of manual document review per property. Legal records, debt history, property assessments - all read by hand.

  • block

    Limited Capacity

    A team of 5 could only review a fraction of available properties. Deadlines closed before analysis was complete, meaning missed deals.

  • block

    Everything in Spreadsheets

    All property data, auction statuses, and team notes lived in Excel and Google Sheets - disconnected, hard to search, easy to lose.
