I've been trying to automate my real estate business but I honestly find automation so hard.

I know HOW to automate things because there's 100+ tools and they're constantly improving. But I don't know WHAT to automate. Templates like the ones in the link are too general. I need something tailored to my workflows. Don't want an agency and don't have time to investigate what exactly everyone in my company does.

How do you all solve this problem??

Start with your current, biggest pain point, adding the minimal amount of automation that will improve things. Step-by-step things will get better over time but you don't run the risk of wasting a bunch of time and money on an automation that doesn't actual improve things in the end.

I feel like it's going to take a lot of time/effort doing this manually
