#39 The Reality of PropTech Startups!

Devon Newton shares how Stiles Property Management escaped the "Efficiency Paralysis Cycle" and generated measurable savings across their portfolio.

The "Efficiency Paralysis Cycle" - Why Most Buildings Never See ROI:
* Low visibility into building performance
* Lack of CRE tech expertise
* Unproven ROI projections
* Budget constraints that keep savings stuck

Hard Numbers, Real Results:
* $300,000 CapEx savings on distributed antenna systems
* $52,000+ annual energy savings potential across 5 specific optimizations
* $95,000 in additional savings opportunities identified at their second property

Devon manages 116 properties across the Southeast USA for Stiles, a portfolio that's 95% third-party owned, meaning every dollar saved directly impacts client relationships and renewals. This isn't theory. These are real projects, real savings, real ROI!
