Real Estate Investment Dynamics

Stephanie Betters was a practicing Nurse Practitioner in heart surgery and an active real estate investor when her frustration with disparate real estate CRM and marketing solutions hit a boiling point. Salesforce and a development partner proposed a project so expensive that Stephanie hung up and decided to build the solution herself. She learned to code and build a useful real estate CRM on Salesforce in three months.

Her business thrived with her comprehensive software. Other real estate investors heard about her software and encouraged her to launch the company in 2019 and start selling the software, now called Left Main REI. Word spread in the industry and hundreds of real estate investors signed up in the first year, transforming their businesses. 

In just over three years, Left Main REI now has hundreds of customers, 20 employees, and nearly $3 million in annual recurring revenue. The company has been bootstrapped and profitable from the first day. Stephanie has a big vision for the company and loves her founder/CEO role; she will no longer be practicing as a Nurse Practitioner as of 2022.
