The operator behind the systems.
I'm Derik Bannister — an Oregon operator, not an agency. I sell real estate at The Operative Group, co-founded REoperative.ai, and build growth systems for service businesses across the Northwest.
Why that matters to you
Everything on this site comes from operating, not theorizing. The CRM, the AI answering, the follow-up automation, the search strategy — the core stack runs inside my own real-estate business on live deals and real phones before any of it is offered to yours. When something doesn't book revenue, I feel it before you would.
That also means you deal with me. No account managers, no hand-offs, no ticket queues — email bannisterderik@gmail.com or text 530-736-7085 and the person who answers is the person doing the work.
Let's build something real.
