About

Steve Stimson is a seasoned real estate investor with 15 years of experience. Formerly a HomeVestors franchisee, Steve has done it all: single-family homes, multi-family syndications, rentals, and motor finance notes. Today, he leads his independent business, Grace Hill Solutions, in the competitive Dallas-Fort Worth market. Single-family homes remain his main focus.

Operating Market

Based in Dallas-Fort Worth, Steve targets both major and smaller counties in North Texas. It’s just himself, his wife, and a VA.

Favorite REsimpli Features

Drip Campaigns: Steve closes more deals with customizable follow-ups—especially effective for urgent leads like foreclosures.
CallAnswer AI: Handles leads efficiently, even after hours.
All-in-One Simplicity: One login, no plugins—everything just works.
Responsive Support: Quick, expert help for both Steve and his VA.

Before and After REsimpli

Before REsimpli

Complicated Tech Stack: Juggling several vendors, plugins, and CRM systems created constant headaches and left lots of room for error.

Poor User Experience: Most CRMs Steve tested (over 20 during a three-month search) had clunky designs, bad functionality, or confusing interfaces.

Skip Tracing Frustration: Verifying numbers with different services and constantly cross-referencing took extra time and effort.

Lack of Customization: As a franchisee, Steve relied on preset tools and had limited flexibility to customize follow-ups and drip sequences.

Lack of Reliable Help: Other CRMs were slow to respond to support issues or failed to address problems quickly.

After REsimpli

All-in-One Platform: REsimpli eliminated the need for multiple subscriptions and integrates all core tools for real estate investing in one place.

Automation: Drip campaigns and built-in AI free up time, helping Steve focus on deals instead of manual follow-up.

Streamlined Operations: Steve’s VA can independently manage tasks, and both get immediate help from REsimpli’s responsive support team.

Confidence Going Solo: The transition from franchise to independent business became much less intimidating with REsimpli’s simple, robust platform and reliable support.

Better Lead Management: More contracts won, especially from targeted drips for high-urgency leads like foreclosures.

Steve’s Experience with REsimpli

With two decades of IT experience, Steve can immediately recognize the difference between good and bad design. Most CRMs he tried were patchwork quilts of plugins and integrations, which often resulted in bugs, breakdowns, and general confusion. From the start, REsimpli stood out. “It was a relief. Finally, everything I need in one place, and it just works.” Steve took about a month to learn the system himself before training his VA, making the handoff of daily tasks seamless. Both he and his VA depend on REsimpli’s live chat and Zoom support, where any issues are resolved promptly. Above all, having complete control over drip campaigns and the ability to manage calls with AI has helped Steve close more contracts and made the transition from franchisee to independent operator much less intimidating.
