About REI Strategy

Fractional CTO and technology strategy for growing real estate investment businesses.

REI Strategy is a fractional CTO and technology strategy firm for growing real estate investment businesses. Founded by George Reyna, the firm helps owners improve CRM systems, automation, AI, data, integrations, vendors, and operating processes.

George Reyna, Founder and Fractional CTO

Why I Built REI Strategy

Technology work needs one accountable owner.

I built REI Strategy around a problem I kept seeing in growing real estate businesses. Owners had capable people, useful software, and ambitious plans. Their systems, decisions, vendors, and implementation work lacked one experienced owner who could connect the pieces and carry the work forward.

My role sits across business strategy and technical execution. I help decide what matters, organize the people and priorities, and stay close enough to implementation to make sure the solution works in the real operation.

Clients can bring me in for a focused decision, a complete roadmap, hands-on delivery, ongoing advice, or fractional CTO leadership. Every engagement is built around clearer ownership, simpler systems, stronger execution, and measurable progress.

When Owners Bring Me In

The technology problem is usually affecting more than technology.

I usually enter the business when a systems issue starts affecting revenue, capacity, visibility, execution speed, or the owner’s focus.

The CRM no longer reflects the business.

Pipelines, fields, permissions, reporting, and follow-up rules grew in different directions. People work around the system and important information becomes difficult to trust.

Systems and vendors operate separately.

Software overlaps, data moves inconsistently, and each vendor works from a different set of priorities. The owner becomes the connection point for every decision.

Automations create rescue work.

Broken triggers, missing data, and incomplete workflows force people back into manual tasks. Failures stay hidden until a lead, task, or customer experience is affected.

Important projects keep stalling.

Requirements move through several people, ownership stays unclear, and vendors wait for decisions. The project remains active while progress slows.

Reporting cannot answer basic questions.

Data lives in several places and leadership lacks one reliable view of leads, operations, vendor performance, and business results.

AI activity has no operating plan.

New tools enter the business before the workflow, owner, data, success measure, and implementation path are defined.

How I Work

Clear ownership creates better execution.

  • Start with the business outcome

    Every technology decision begins with the operating problem, the desired result, and the people responsible for using the solution.

  • Make the work visible

    I document priorities, decisions, owners, dependencies, and success measures so leadership, staff, and vendors work from the same plan.

  • Build for real operating conditions

    The solution must work with actual data, actual handoffs, actual users, and actual constraints. Testing and rollout are part of the work.

  • Leave the business stronger

    Documentation, training, ownership, and performance measures support continuity after a project launches.

Verified Client Work

Cut invoice turnaround time by 60%.

The documented result was a 60% reduction in invoice turnaround time during the post-launch operating period.

“The completed workflow reduced invoice turnaround time by 60% and removed recurring manual work from the financial operation.”

Moved a 40,000-user operation to a modern CRM.

The organization needed to replace a legacy CRM while protecting access, workflow continuity, security, and employee adoption.

The work included the legacy CRM, modern CRM architecture, Active Directory, custom permissions, pilot testing, access migration, and phased adoption. The documented result was a successful progression from a controlled 35-user pilot to a modern CRM environment supporting 40,000 monthly users during the enterprise rollout.
