"I recently signed up with Open Road and it has changed my real estate investing career! One of the problems I always had, which delayed me in the short sale package, was the estimate of repairs. Open Road has this REALLY COOL tab (called) Hammerpoint and all I know is, that I had a repair estimate done in less than ten minutes. It was easy, clear, it looked so professional and it helped me negotiate on of my best short sales to date!" ~Charise Stone, Sterling VA
"About nine months ago we got Open Road and we had a (huge) pile on our desk of file folder and it was a MESS! We got Open Road and now everything is in one place. I have a partner that is not in my office and we were always frustrated about 'where are we on this case' and 'where are we on that case'. We would spend an hour on the phone every day just going through each file. Now, I just click on… and we can give everybody the status immediately… and that's HUGE!"
~Brad Simmons, Danville KY
"I've been in business for about five years now. Prior to using Open Road I was using Act database and had one assistant. …When I started to implement Open Road, I realized that essentially a lot of the work that she had been assigned to had pretty much vanished. A lot of the more tedious and monotonous things are now automated by using Open Road. …it's kind of as if I hired 2 ½ people, so I am getting a TREMENDOUS amount of efficiency out of her and out of my (what is essentially a) 'whole staff' now. It has made my business so much more effective and it allows me to multiply myself and my efforts. My work load is half as much as it used to be and my efficiency has probably tripled or more so. I can do the two things I wanted the most out of my business, which is more time and more money."
~Rogie Robinson, San Diego CA
"We have been investing in Real Estate and our education as investors for the past 5 years, and have spent tens of thousands of dollars on boot camps, coaching and mentoring. We know it is more expensive to be educated than not in this business, and we've been fortunate to work with "real deal" gurus who added value to our business lives. So we have very high standards for who we will work with. Well, you and Open Road have set a NEW standard. The systemization, professionalism and comprehensiveness of the tool and the training are so far above what anybody else is teaching or selling. Open Road is clearly a tool to be used by the already successful investor or a business person who wants to start a new business investing in real estate. We are thrilled we purchased the product upon its initial release, because it's cutting edge, and that's what we are up to. It's brilliant."
~Jim and Stephany McFadzean
"Greg, I wanted to tell you that you're probably glad that you're nowhere near me right now, because if you were I'd give you the biggest man hug you've ever had. I just bought Open Road and I stayed up late last night just setting my files up and DUDE was it liberating. I feel like a literal weight has been lifted off my chest and I can breathe again. It is frickin' amazing what this thing does. Just the little things like the help with organization and the notes feature is awesome, not to mention what you call the "Power Tools" You could really sell this for 5x what you are and it would be a bargain. I told my wife I love her, I haven't done that in a while because I've been so frickin' busy with my business. This is changing my LIFE!" ~Rick Scheffler
"Greg, you guys rock! Trying to keep track of all the moving parts of a real estate transaction has been the bane of my existence as an investor. How do you make real estate investing fly if you're constantly dragging around tons of files and paperwork?! With Open Road, you've solved this problem. In real time, with this web-based application, you can not only keep on top of your own work and responsibilities for a successful transaction, but you can keep up with everyone on your team! Way to go - I recommend your software to any serious real estate investor. It's truly the next logical step to growing your business to the next level."
~Tori Blackhart
"Greg, Open Road has literally put dollars back in my pocket - far, far more than what we have invested in the product. When we had just 10 deals in our Short Sale pipeline, we were struggling with three people on our team trying to hold it all together. We spent a TON of time just trying to figure out what was going on with each house. I was trying to figure out how I could afford to hire person #4 for our team so we could build our pipeline larger. After just 6 months on Open Road, the same three people are easily handling close to 25 houses and NOTHING is falling through the cracks. We'll be able to build at least to 40 without having to add someone to our team.
Hope that does the trick!"
~Joel Zieve
"I have spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to better myself. I have been to numerous classes and read dozens of self development books. Real estate was always something that I was very interested in, but the only place to really learn the business was by spending gobs of money on expensive seminars and training that was never hands on and was always taught using theory and not reality. Open Road has allowed me to quit my 9-5 job and focus full time on real estate investing. I now feel like I control my life, instead of the other way around. I am grateful that I found this company so soon in my career, as I have talked to numerous struggling investors who don't seem to know when the next check will come. I now have a system that will give me as much business as I can handle. Thanks so much. "
~Tom Kontra
"I'm not in the office as much as I used to be. Now I have time to go skiing, go out on my boat and do all the things that I want to do. I have found that you can take Open Road with you. It's nice to be able to take it wherever you go." ~Keith Rayne, Jacksonville FL
"I think Open Road is DYNAMITE! This is a fantastic piece of software. I would highly recommend it to every investor whether you're doing short sales, whether you're doing a subject to, lease options, or whatever aspect of real estate you're in; you NEED Open Road in order to take your business up to the next level." ~Bill Rafter, Lexington KY
"Greg, we just purchased Open Road about a week ago and it is amazing. The features that this site provides are just incredible. The construction estimator is easy and very useful when dealing with the banks. I also love the match features that you have created for the buyers and properties, also visa-versa. I could go on and on about the benefits of this program but I have to work today. Thank you for creating something that will revolutionize our community."

"My partner is in Virginia and I am in California. I have been using Open Road for about nine months now and what is so great about it… is that Open Road is web based, so we have a central location for all the information and data. I can put anything in there and then she can look at it anytime of the day that she needs to. I'm really excited about that!"
~Suzanna Mardjuki, Pleasanton CA
"I am so glad that (my company) has Open Road! I got trained and what I am able to do with Open Road in terms of keeping my deals in line, knowing what's going on, tracking information, knowing the seller and buyer information on a dime, putting together estimates and things that just really streamline everything I do in my business. Where I was spending 20 hours in administration is now down to about 1 hour per week… which allows me to get back out in the neighborhood and do what I do, which is create deals and be responsive to the client. Open Road is THE deal, NO KIDDING!"
~Michael Stinson, Chicago IL
"I bought into Open Road when Greg and Josh were Beta testing it. I had a really cool experience with Open Road: It was December of last year and we were in Venezuela for vacation. I had a property that I was in the final stages of negotiating on and because I had Open Road… I was able to negotiate the deal AND get it SOLD! So, when I got back my title company, the buyers and the buyer's lender had everything that they needed. The whole process was pretty much done while I was in Venezuela and we just finalized everything when I got back and it closed! So far, it's been my most profitable deal!"
~Steven Logreira, Minneapolis MN
"Open Road is by far the most comprehensive investor tool on the market. Unlike other products, Open Road is a true system that can do it all from marketing to deal analysis...
It's really helped automate my business and take it to the next level."
~Bruce Bassin, Cleveland, Ohio
"I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much we appreciate Open Road and the people you have who support it. As you know, over 90% of our business is from real estate agent referrals. Since we're negotiating over 100 properties at a time, our biggest challenge has been keeping up with requests from agents for updates on each case. Some days our backlog of phone messages can take literally hours to retrieve and return so that listing agents can keep their buyers, sellers and buyers' agents updated on a regular basis. Providing limited access to the Open Road database has been a lifesaver, reducing the volume of calls and providing timely status reports to agents so that there's less chance of losing a buyer. Thanks so much for developing a product so perfectly tailored to our business. "
~Jim
"Hey Greg, I am a single guy with kids, working a full time job, and building a real estate business at the same time. It is an overwhelming schedule to say the least. The business suffers the most due to my time limits; I have only been able to dabble in R.E. until now. Having Open Road has changed my working life. Instead of spending my time shuffling papers around on my desk, I can spend my time marketing, making offers, and getting deals done. It's like hiring two assistants. I can't thank you enough for developing this system."
~Kurt Verscharen
"Open Road has provided me with the ability to organize my business in a way that I never thought possible. Since I have begun using it, it has literally saved me hours of time and frustration. It allows me to track my cases in an extremely efficient manner, and ensures that my whole team is on the same page for each property we are working on. When you own your own business, time is the most precious asset you have, and Open Road has allowed me to maximize not only my own time, but that of everyone in my organization. Thanks so much for revolutionizing my business process with this fantastic online tool!"
~Kim Harrington, Boston MA
I used to have paperwork all over my desk to make sure I had everything at the ready while negotiating with the loss mitigator. Open Road has made my life much easier. All I have to do now is pull up the negotiating pane and I am good to go. Before I call I check the notes to prepare. This is such a time saver and it also helps when the mitigator (on their rare occasion) calls me. I can pull up the info needed in seconds. It is awesome.
~Jerry Ballard
"Open Road has changed the way my partner and I do business. Our company has literally exploded since using eflow. Why? Because we can handle exponentially more deals more efficiently in our pipeline. Information is available to us at the click of a mouse. Plus, our business can be run from anywhere in the world. I'm in AZ, and my partner is in KY…and there's no lapse whatsoever in the exchange of critical information. Prior to Open Road, everything we did was on boards and in paper files. I found myself scrambling for files when mitigators or sellers called. Notes were strewn everywhere. My partner and I were constantly on the phone with each other to see where we were with our deals. No more. Open Road was a lifesaver. I'm less stressed, we're tremendously more organized, and we're closing more deals. Thanks, Greg!"
~Dean Edelson
"We spent months trying to cobble together a program that would allow us to systematize our business; you know systems are what it's all about, right? Well, Steve from Maralogix, recommended we take a look at your program and well, after I got up off the floor, had my partner slap me to see if I was dreaming, ran around screaming like an idiot, laughing, and giggling like a girl.......you get the point? Our business is immediately light years ahead of where we were a week ago. You've changed the industry. This program will make us more accountable, responsible, and professional. Ok, someday I'll stop laughing uncontrollably, but not very soon."
~Brad Whiteman
"I am pumped about Open Road! I cannot imagine the time and energy that was spent to create it. One of my main goals in 2007 was to become more efficient.
Open Road will make that happen!"
~Tim Davison
"I wanted to tell you how excited I am to have this new computer system! My old one would take 4 LONG steps to complete one thing. It was always clocking… a lot of wasted time. Since I have been using your system my work load has lightened, only for now though because of your system I am able to take on new clients I previously would not have had time for! Thanks so much!"
~Suzanne Erickson
"I'm new to Real Estate Investing and Short Sales in particular. Being a newbie and essentially being a one person shop, I have been VERY concerned with how I would be able to manage everything. I started to think that maybe I would not be able to enter the very timely and lucrative area of Short Sales because of all the moving parts. Well, Open Road is an answered prayer! Now I feel extremely confident that I will be able to manage it all! Thank you so much for all the time and effort that went into creating such a well planned and all-encompassing management software. I am certain that my future success is going to be in large part to Open Road!!!"
~Monica D. McDowell
"I wanted to let you know what I thought of Open Road. I am not experienced person as of yet but I can say that that is going to be a short lived situation. I can see so many benefits from Open Road that I have not had from other Real Estate Software that I have purchased and used. Your system is setup so that I am finally seeing the light and also set up so that more than one person can be very active and doing different parts of the business. Different persons can be doing parts of the foreclosure activities and still see the progress that is being made by others without the need of talking on the phone or having daily meetings to find out the progress of each step of each deal. I am finally feeling comfortable and believe this is the tool to get me over that hump to greater success. Thanks for your help in this matter. Thanks to the training by Lisa to get Open Road up and working. Other software that I have purchased kind of leaves you hanging. Again my Thanks!"
~Carl Nyberg
"Your Open Road program is a Godsend. I have been investing for six years now and I thought I had it down to a science. The thing I dislike the most about investing is the time spent updating files and arranging file folders and never really quite knowing what needs to be done next. It use to be that my customers would call to keep me in line and while juggling 60+ deals at one time it was the tail wagging the dog constantly. It was getting to the point that I agonized walking in to my office each morning not knowing what fire I would be putting out next. With your program I have been able to have all the information I need at my fingertips. I feel that this program paid for itself within the first six weeks. I would need at least two full time employees to do what Open Road is doing now. Thank you for maintaining my sanity and my business."
~Mike Rockford
"My wife and I really want to thank you for this awesome program that you have put together. We were trying to stay organized with file folders and multiple spreadsheets. It had become such a MESS. We have been able to consolidate the mess into your system and what a difference it has made for us. Not only has Open Road improved our organization, but it is also doing a larger part of our paperwork with all of the built in tools that Open Road provides. Anyhow, we really appreciate your efforts to design and offer such a great product. Thank you for helping us to take this huge step towards our first MILLION."
~Jon and Carrie Dykes
