A back office that runs itself while you run the crew.
Agents handle the fast, repeatable work: replying to leads, chasing quotes, requesting reviews, chasing invoices. Virtual assistants handle the work that needs a voice and judgment. We build both, we manage the people, and you get one weekly report.
Six jobs you should never do by hand again
Each one runs on your accounts, in your voice, with a human in the loop on anything that touches a relationship.
Lead responder
Answers every web form, missed call, and inbox lead in under five minutes with a real reply, then books the estimate or hands it to a human.
Quote chaser
Follows up on every open quote on a set cadence by text and email, in your voice, and flags the ones that go quiet.
Review and referral
Asks for the review the day the job closes, thanks the customer, and drafts replies to every review that comes in.
Invoice nudge
Reminds on unpaid invoices politely and persistently, and tells you which accounts are slipping before it becomes a problem.
Property researcher
Turns a list of addresses into unit counts, management companies, and contacts. This is the engine inside The Machine.
Morning briefing
One message before the day starts: today’s jobs, open quotes over a week old, unpaid invoices, and anything that needs your call.
People, managed, with a procedure for everything
A VA without a written procedure is a liability. Ours come with the procedures, a backup, a weekly report, and a manager who is not you.
We recruit and vet them, train them on your business, and replace them if it is not working. You get a named person you can text. If you want them selling for you, that plugs straight into a run engagement.
- Answering phones and booking jobs
- Vendor portal registration and compliance uploads
- Quote follow-up calls
- Scheduling and dispatch support
- Invoicing and collections
- Social posting and review responses
- Property manager outreach and list building
- Inbox and calendar management
Avatars, clips, and the content engine
Explainer videos, FAQ answers, and short vertical clips built with an AI avatar of you, scripted from the questions your customers ask. Good for volume. Your real face still does the trust-building. We will tell you which is which.

It handles the repeatable follow-up work that falls through the cracks.

A human stays in the loop on anything that touches a customer relationship.
How do virtual assistants fit with agents?
Agents do the fast, repeatable work. Virtual assistants do the work that needs judgment and a voice: answering phones, working vendor portals, scheduling, and calling customers. We build both and manage the VAs for you.
Where do the VAs come from and how are they managed?
We recruit, vet, and train them against written procedures for your business. You get a named person, a backup, and a weekly report. We handle management and replacement.
What does it cost?
Agent builds are a fixed-scope project plus a small monthly fee for hosting and upkeep. VA staffing is a monthly rate per assistant. Both are quoted after a short call about what you want handled.
Is my customer data safe?
Agents run on your accounts under your control. We do not train anything on your data or share it. Every engagement is covered by our privacy promise.
