LIVE · COMMUNITIES.TIMTEPES.COM- What Tim wanted
- Tim's business runs on referrals, and after 2,000-plus closings he had no interest in becoming the person who writes the blog, follows up every lead and builds a page for each new listing. He wanted more business in the places he cannot physically be, with his own routine untouched.
- What Halo created
- Halo built a community site for the areas he serves and a site for every listing, ten so far, each made from the photos and an address and live the day the listing is. A weekly audit checks that every page is still current, and the blogging and follow-up run underneath.
- What happened
- On August 18 he reported a hat-trick day, a new listing, one under contract, one closed, then two more listings the next morning, one with an offer over asking. In his words: “That's where the AI stuff is doing the blogs and following up for me.”

How we estimate this
Estimates, not invoices. Rates are low-end market rates: authority site $3,000 (quoted $3,000–6,000), single-property site $300, listing film $400, graphic $75, webmaster retainer $1,500/mo (quoted $500–2,500), copywriter $400/mo. Months on Halo are counted from the first project and rounded up; the Halo figure is $99 per month plus $99 per listing package. Time ≈ conservative do-or-brief hours per deliverable (authority site 6 h, listing site 2 h, film 2 h, graphic 30 min, edit 6 min), rounded down to the ten. Work counts are from Halo’s records as of Aug 30, 2026; nothing here is modeled or projected.

What Halo built, in detail
A site for every listing
- Ten listing sites built from photos and an address, one per new listing, since June
- A community site (communities.timtepes.com) for the areas he serves
Live the same day
- Each listing page goes live the day the listing does, so buyers can find it before the sign goes up
Blogging and follow-up, in Tim's words
- "That's where the AI stuff is doing the blogs and following up for me." (Tim, Aug 18)
Kept honest weekly
- A weekly listings-and-site audit automation checks every page is current
Tim's big business is referrals. He wanted to keep taking listings and closing deals without being the person who writes the blog, follows up every lead, and builds a page for each new listing.
Success looked like more business in the places he cannot physically be, with his own routine untouched.
Ongoing automations
- Weekly listings & site auditweekly
Every site stays editable by text at any hour, every form writes the lead up and texts Tim, and new listings get their own site the day they are taken. 402 edits have shipped since Jun 5, 2026.
Methodology
Halo records are counts from Halo’s database as of Aug 30, 2026: sites, listing sites, films, edits by text, automations, graphics, custom domains and pages. Site log figures come from the sites’ own server log for Aug 16, 2026 – Aug 30, 2026: AI-crawler fetches are identified by user agent; visitor-days are counted only on hosts with visitor-level analytics, so custom-domain traffic behind an edge network is under-counted, never inflated. Customer-reported outcomes are the customer’s own words, attributed and dated, never modeled or projected; correlation is not claimed as causation. Site inquiries exclude the agent’s own tests, vendor pitches and form-fill bots; only the count and anonymised dates are shown.
