First-Time Investors  

Dias Gotama — First Investment Property in Orlando  

Dias is a Product Manager at Microsoft who started investing in real estate in September 2021. He was drawn to Awning because of the combination of data quality and investor-focused agent expertise.

"The agents are really great to work with. It's a great product and I hope more people get into real estate investing through Awning."  

— Dias Gotama, First-Time Investor, Orlando

"Easy to use, looks good on mobile, and Awning keeps evolving and getting better."

— Dias Gotama, Product Manager, Microsoft  

‍

Dias used Awning's platform to purchase a property in Orlando and was in the process of making offers in Texas at the time of this review. He credited Awning's projections as accurate, human-reviewed, and reliably useful for comparing investment opportunities.

Jen Kramer — Busy Investor, 4 Properties in Texas  

Jen and her husband had been interested in real estate investing for years but couldn't find the time to go deep. Awning helped them move from interest to action — purchasing four properties in Texas over a few months.

"Awning gave us the confidence to move forward with investing by connecting us to trusted lenders, inspectors, and property managers."

— Jen Kramer, Busy Investor, Texas

‍

"Purchasing an investment property remotely wasn't a challenge either. In fact, it allowed us to enter a competitive market and get a much better return on our investment than local properties."

— Jen Kramer, Busy Investor

‍

"Spending hours looking for a suitable investment property makes real estate investing a burden for many. I'm so happy I found Awning to do the work for me."

— Jen Kramer, Busy Investor

‍

Experienced Investors  

Terry — Electrical Engineer, Multiple Properties via Awning  

Terry runs an environmental testing company in Silicon Valley and had tried turnkey investing before Awning  — with frustrating results. Every repair ate into his returns because the turnkey company was also the property manager.

"When I found out about Awning, I purchased three more properties through them."

— Terry, Experienced Investor, Silicon Valley  

‍

"I would validate the numbers and after a few months of proven accuracy, I trusted the results that Awning was sending me and just invested."  

— Terry, Experienced Investor  

‍

"Awning also provides economies of scale with property management. Property managers treat my property well because they don't want to lose Awning as a partner."

— Terry, Experienced Investor  

‍

Terry now focuses on growing his portfolio and finding high-quality properties rather than maximizing every single deal — a shift made possible by trusting Awning's analysis.

Juan Gomez — From Traditional Agents to Awning  

Juan had worked with traditional real estate agents to find investment properties but found the process slow and lacking the investor-specific analysis he needed.

"Before Awning, I'd have to pull all the data myself to analyze a deal. Now I was getting these different data sources aggregated and in one place. It was what I was looking for and saved me hours!"

— Juan Gomez, Investor, Sacramento  

‍

"Once we started finding properties, we got to where we could get offers out in minutes! Quick offers made an enormous difference and helped us secure a property in a competitive market."

— Juan Gomez, Investor  

‍

"After closing my first investment, I recommended Awning to my friend. She is a seasoned real estate investor and she now uses Awning and has even purchased an investment property in Texas!"

— Juan Gomez, Investor, Sacramento  

‍

Remote and Overseas Investors  

Manoj — First Remote Investment, California to Texas  

Manoj already owned one property near his home in California and was ready to invest remotely in Texas. The challenge: not enough time to understand a new market and run thorough analysis on each property.

"Everything at Awning was very crisp and clear. I don't have much time to go back and forth. Everything is to the point and exactly what I'm looking for."

— Manoj, Remote Investor, California → Texas  

‍

"Real estate investing is super simplified with Awning. It's as simple as going on Amazon and shopping."

— Manoj, Remote Investor  

‍

"Awning gave me the confidence to invest out of state and found me a property in Texas with positive cash flow."

— Manoj, Remote Investor  

‍

Awning's analysts found 10 properties in Texas matching Manoj's criteria. His agent Humberto narrowed it to 3 target investments, and Manoj closed on a Texas property with positive cash flow.

Julie Prochasson — Overseas Investor, Purchased from Outside the US  

Julie is a part-time real estate investor and tech product manager who purchased a property in Austin, TX from outside the United States. The transaction involved significant logistical complexity — power of attorney requirements, a lender that backed out at the last minute, and pandemic-related embassy closures.

"When asked to summarize her experience with the Awning team in one word, Julie responded: Resourcefulness."

— Julie Prochasson, Overseas Investor  

‍

Julie's agent Humberto made dozens of calls to lock in an attorney to sign on her behalf via power of attorney, then found a new lender willing to accept multiple signatures after the original lender backed out. The entire transaction closed in 39 days. Julie secured a property in an A+ neighborhood in Austin for $189,000 with verified rent and under $5,000 in repair costs.

Humberto continues to monitor the property with Julie even after it was leased.
