For 15 years my deal tracking lived in 4 places: an Excel spreadsheet, Google Maps, county GIS sites, and Outlook.
So about 2 years ago I started building DealNav. I took everything I loved about the other CRMs and cut everything I hated.
Simple interface. Transparent pricing. Just the features that matter. Easy data export. And of course, an INTEGRATED map.
As of today it checks all my original boxes... and then some. DealNav 3.0 is live!!!!!
Click a parcel. See the owner. Track the deal. Put AI to work on your data. All on one map 🗺️📍
Two risk-free 3.0 offers*:
- Book an onboarding with a co-founder after joining. Love it in 60 days or get a full refund.
- Post about a deal you're tracking in DealNav weekly until it closes. Account free for life.

Well that was fun.
DealNav 3.0 launch 3 days ago was coordinated by @Ant__L and me, with some help from @GreekGreg.
What we ran:
- email blast to current, past, and prospective DealNav members
- Twitter post
- LinkedIn post
- Google search ads (just started but spent $75 of our $3k budget, plus a consult fee to @boygenius)
What it got us:
- 10 new members
- 11 demos booked
- 4 members upgraded to pro (parcel data) tier
The tweet ripped (thanks to many of you!) 🙏
LinkedIn post (below) absolutely bombed 😂 We think it's because we included links, pricing, and an offer in the main post. Reposting next week. (If anyone has advice, we'd love to hear it!)
No, we didn't pay anyone to help spread the word (contrary to what @twallyweb says). We just asked folks who've supported us in the past to engage if they wanted to. No pressure. I'd do the same for any of y'all!
Might throw some money at promoting the tweet to see if that does anything.
Slowly learning this whole paid acquisitions world and I’ll tell ya it’s really hard.
A friend used to spend $50k a month in google ads to land 200 new SaaS customers which was well worth it for him. Might have to liquidate my 401k and give that a try.
I downloaded @DealNav in order to help me track properties I want to consider leasing or likely buying for investment or to house my classic car shop, Heritage Auto Repair & Development of Pittsburgh
So far I’ve used it to capture what I know about the properties and to start to find comparables that will help me narrow in on valuation.
I’m rusty in my real estate valuation game…but with a little help my friend Ai I should be able to hack my way through.
If you are one of those power users of Deal Nav, follow along so you can see me make rookie mistakes and maybe help me avoid some too.
Years ago my team built Prospect and Nurture for brokers... find the buyers and sellers, keep the workflow dead simple. Pat did the same thing with DealNav, through a wider lens. Respect the hard work here, @PatCarino. https://t.co/Khuhq2QPLp
there are several good reasons to follow @PatCarino
1) he is smart and has good takes on development and CRE, esp. in the northeast.
2) some rando CT Karen is leaving dog poop in the bushes in his front yard repeatedly and he is one good lead away from catching her publicly. can't wait for this and wouldn't miss it. astronomical value add.
3) when a good product doesn't exist for a niche market, he builds one. either use his, or do it yourself (hint: one might be easier than the other). if you don't have good (simple/effective) tools as a developer, you are toast. your sharpest competitor will.
be like pat. do pat things. #CRE #developer @DealNav
@PatCarino@DallasAptGP We actually are, grok bot MCP connection goes live tonight, so you could say to your car “hey bot, I just drove by 123 Main St, can you add it to my leads in DealNav”
Pat has been building this in public and I support him and his product
I am a user and am not getting paid for this post
I you have a service business or are in real estate, then you should be readhing out to him for a demo
I’ve tested endless CRE CRMs
No matter how good they are, how many feature they have, or how customizable it is
It’s not hard to find people that absolutely hate that CRM.
DealNav is the exception. I’ve never heard a single bad review.
They’re doing something right.
Long DealNav
Pat built some really cool shit here
