In New York City’s fast-paced property management and real estate industries, every second and every dollar matter. What if your entire back office could be run by just one person — seamlessly, efficiently, and powered by automation? With The Office of One, Real Ops Solutions helps NYC firms cut operational costs by up to 50%, reduce administrative overhead, and modernize their back-office technology in just 30 days.
Why New York City Firms Need a New Back-Office Model
Running a back office in New York City is expensive. Office space, staffing, software, and compliance requirements add up quickly, leaving many firms with high fixed costs and slow workflows. The city’s competitive market demands lean, fast, and automated operations that keep businesses ahead. The Office of One introduces a smarter way to work combining human intelligence with artificial intelligence to create a fully optimized, one-person back office that operates more efficiently than traditional teams.
By replacing manual processes with automation and system integration, businesses can lower costs, improve accuracy, and gain a clear view of their operations in real time. This model isn’t theoretical — it’s built for property management companies, real estate firms, and service-based businesses across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond.
What Is The Office of One
The Office of One is a 30-day operational transformation program that completely re-engineers your back office. Real Ops Solutions doesn’t just advise on technology — we implement it, prove it works, and train your team to maintain it. The result is a streamlined office that runs on efficiency, not manpower.
Over 30 days, your systems are analyzed, automated, and optimized so one person can effectively run what used to take a full team. Whether you rely on AppFolio, MRI Software, RealPage, Yardi, Real Page, Zoho, Salesforce, QuickBooks, or NetSuite, our experts adapt to your environment and enhance it with AI-driven automation.
How It Works in 30 Days
The transformation begins with a full audit of your workflows, costs, and technology stack. During the first week, we identify inefficiencies, redundant tools, and costly manual steps. In the second week, our team optimizes your systems and integrates all software into a unified platform. By week three, AI tools are deployed to automate reporting, data entry, reconciliation, and communication processes. The final week is all about optimization, where you receive live dashboards, reporting tools, and a one-person operations playbook.
By the end of 30 days, your office is running smoothly with one person managing a fully automated back-office infrastructure.
