What REI BlackBook does

REI BlackBook, operating as REI Group, LLC, is a vertically-focused SaaS company founded in 2008 by Damon Remy in St. Louis, Missouri, that sells an all-in-one CRM and marketing platform purpose-built for individual and small-team real estate investors operating across wholesale, fix-and-flip, landlord, and creative finance strategies. The platform consolidates lead capture websites, contact and pipeline management, a proprietary business phone system (Profit Dial), visual marketing automation, property pipeline tracking, rehab estimation, contract generation, direct mail, skip tracing, and ringless voicemail into a single integrated environment with shared data across modules, displacing the typical patchwork of CRM, dialer, email, and list tools. Pricing is a three-tier subscription (Solo $149/mo, Team $299/mo, Executive $799/mo) with annual discounts, plus optional Growth Multiplier add-ons (AI Power Pack $199/mo, REI Ads Manager $299/mo, ListHQ+ $199/mo) bundled into the Executive tier, and usage-based overages for SMS, calling minutes, skip tracing, and bulk email; distribution combines a self-serve 14-day free trial with a sales-assisted enterprise motion, an affiliate channel paying up to 30% recurring commission, and a licensing partnership with Rich Dad Education.

The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with a stated team of 25+ employees based in the St. Louis area serving "thousands" of real estate investors nationally. Distribution and demand generation rely on content marketing (blog, SEO guides, Motivated Seller Guide, TCPA compliance guide), community assets (REI Connect Facebook group, daily Open Office Hours, semi-annual REI Bootcamp user conference), and an internal paid-media product (REI Ads Manager). Recent product investment has centered on a multi-version overhaul of the Deals and Properties modules, the introduction of AI agents for lead qualification and engagement, and a redesigned pricing/onboarding experience launched in May 2026.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• GoHighLevel: Broad horizontal SMB CRM and marketing automation platform that has expanded aggressively into the real estate investor niche. Comparable because it offers CRM, websites, phone/SMS, pipelines, and workflow automation as an all-in-one subscription and is a primary alternative REI BlackBook migrates customers from.
• HubSpot: General-purpose SMB CRM, marketing automation, and website platform. While not purpose-built for real estate investors, it is a common fallback CRM for investors and competes indirectly on CRM, email automation, and pipeline functionality.
• Salesforce: Largest enterprise CRM platform with workflow automation, AI (Einstein), and app-exchange ecosystem. Adjacent competitor when larger real estate investment firms graduate from REI BlackBook and require enterprise-grade sales and marketing infrastructure.

Direct peers

• REISimpli: Direct vertical CRM and operating system for real estate investors, with comparable feature set including lead capture, pipeline, and disposition. One of the named migration-source competitors for REI BlackBook, serving the same wholesaler/rehabber/landlord segments.
• DealMachine: Real estate investor platform combining driving-for-dollars, skip tracing, and CRM/pipeline. Overlaps with REI BlackBook's ListHQ, Profit Drive, and CRM modules and is named as a direct migration competitor.
• Podio: Highly customizable workflow/CRM platform widely used by real estate investors prior to the rise of purpose-built tools. Named as a migration source for REI BlackBook, indicating overlapping CRM/pipeline use cases in the same investor audience.
• PropStream: Real estate investor data and deal-analysis platform with comps, lead lists, and pipeline functionality. Overlaps with REI BlackBook's ListHQ, comp pulling, and deal analysis modules for the same investor buyer persona.
• BatchLeads: Skip tracing, list building, and dialer tool frequently paired with investor CRMs. Competes with REI BlackBook's cold calling, skip tracing, and ListHQ features for the same wholesalers and rehabbers.

Regional players

• Real Geeks: Lead generation and CRM platform purpose-built for real estate agents rather than investors. Comparable in providing websites, CRM, and lead nurturing for a real estate vertical audience, but skewed toward agents vs. investors.
• LionDesk: Real estate CRM with email, text, and video email tools, originally targeting agents but with significant investor usage. Overlaps with REI BlackBook on CRM, drip campaigns, and contact management for real estate professionals.
