About Finlay Systems
Built for high-volume NYC real estate teams
Finlay Systems is built for agents, small teams, and brokerages operating in the fast-moving NYC real estate market. Before launching Finlay Systems, David Finlay spent years producing real estate media for NYC agents and teams, giving him firsthand experience with the speed, communication, marketing demands, and operational pressure behind the business.
Most real estate teams do not need more software. They need clearer workflows, better follow-up, and practical systems that save time without creating more complexity — which is why every engagement starts with identifying where AI can actually create value before anything gets built.

Don't Take Our Word For It
I knew AI was the future, and I did not want to miss the boat. David gave me a clear, practical introduction to how AI can streamline marketing, CRM, follow-ups, and systems. The session helped me better understand which tools could be the best fit for my law practice.
Taliya BashaniFounder / Real Estate Attorney @ Tab Law FirmFor me, the whole idea of AI is extremely overwhelming, and it feels like there is so much information coming at you. It was really great to have David, someone I fully trust, sit down with me for about an hour and really break everything down. He simplified it so I could actually understand what it can offer me, and I definitely think it was worth it.

Who do you work with?
I help NYC real estate teams use AI to reduce manual work, improve lead follow-up, and streamline day-to-day operations.
What does an AI consultant do for a real estate team?
An AI consultant helps a real estate team identify where AI can save time, improve consistency, and reduce repetitive manual work. This can include training, workflow design, automation planning, tool selection, prompt systems, and implementation support.
What should a real estate team automate first with AI?
Most teams should start with repetitive, low-risk workflows such as lead follow-up, CRM updates, client intake, internal documentation, email drafting, and content support. The best starting point depends on where the team is losing the most time.
Can AI help with real estate lead follow-up?
Yes. AI can help draft follow-up messages, summarize lead information, organize CRM notes, trigger reminders, and support faster response workflows. The key is using AI with clear review steps and reliable guardrails.
Do we need to replace our CRM or current tools?
Usually not. Finlay Systems focuses on practical AI systems that work around the tools your team already uses, such as Google Workspace, Notion, Zapier, Make, HubSpot, and other workflow tools.
What services do you offer?
I offer AI training, strategy, and implementation support. This can include team training, identifying high-value use cases, improving workflows, and helping put practical systems in place.
Do I need technical experience?
No. My approach is designed to be practical and accessible, even if you or your team do not have a technical background.
What happens on the discovery call?
The discovery call is a chance to talk through your business, current workflows, and the biggest bottlenecks you want to improve. From there, I can recommend the best next step.
How much does AI consulting cost for a real estate team?
Pricing depends on the scope. A simple training session or strategy call may be a smaller engagement, while a systems audit, automation build, or ongoing AI support requires a larger scope. The best first step is an intro call to identify the right starting point.
Can you help us figure out where AI would actually be useful?
Yes. Part of the process is identifying where AI can create real value in your business, rather than adding unnecessary tools or complexity.
What kinds of processes can AI help improve?
AI can often help with areas like internal workflows, admin tasks, communication, lead handling, documentation, content support, and other repetitive operational processes.
How do we get started?
The best place to start is by booking a free discovery call. From there, we can discuss your goals, current challenges, and the most suitable next step.
