“No doubt about it, Dave Rebro was the game-changer for me. Dave won me over in the initial meeting. He delivered in the second and he changed my productivity in the third. I went from closing 73 homes (on my own) to closing just under 145 (with a 3-person team). That’s running more numbers a year than many realtors do in a career.
Now I generally don’t work past 5 pm, have most weekends off, and I am more organized and efficient than ever before.”

What, if anything, could get Tom Monaghan out of his dire situation? After years of working to get a commitment from a national real estate investor, putting in countless 70-80 hour weeks and sacrificing precious family time, things were on the verge of collapse for this real estate broker. The contract he had with his client demanded that he double his productivity, yet he knew he couldn’t deliver. Tom was, quite simply, “maxed out.”

He’s the Broker/Manager for the investor, Stepping Stone Homes. He went from closing 73 homes (on his own) to closing just under 145 (with a 3-person team). That’s running more numbers a year than many realtors do in a career. He generally doesn’t work past 5pm, has most weekends off and is more organized and efficient than ever before. He’s happy.
Most importantly, he gets to spend lots of time with his 9 year-old son, Nathan. That includes playing catch, building a minimal house (to be used as a fort) in the back yard and logging in flight time together. Tom, a commercial pilot, now has the ability to spend many hours in the cockpit with Nathan as co-pilot.

Who Made Such a Difference In His Life?
No doubt about it, Dave Rebro was the game-changer for Tom. Known as iPad Expert Dave and the Paperless Professional, he owns DRCS Solutions in Milwaukee and is considered a tech therapist.
Tom had been receiving regular e-mails from Dave but had never considered utilizing his services—until, of course, Tom became a desperate man. He focused on the claims that Dave could put together systems for people, improve their productivity, get them organized, find innovative solutions and simplify day-to-day tasks.
He called Dave and they met.
Within a few weeks’ span, “Dave won me over in the initial meeting. He delivered in the second and he changed my productivity in the third,” says Tom.
How Dave Helped Tom
Dave used what he calls his “special sauce.” By that, he means he used his skills and a special tool to teach Tom (like many of his clients) a critical lesson—how to use technology creatively to update and expand his business, improve his life, achieve his goals, and, along the way, have a positive impact on others.
The skills Dave uses are all those he’s acquired thru the years as an engineer, trainer, consultant, technology authority, non-profit fundraiser, website designer, internet marketer, entrepreneur and volunteer. Resourceful, patient, knowledgeable, respectful and professional, Dave listened while Tom explained his predicament: a chaotic career was draining his life dry and that of his wife and son.
Then Tom listened to Dave and is “profoundly grateful” that he did.
Tom’s Virtual Office
The special tool Dave introduced to Tom is Evernote and Tom calls it his “virtual office.” At its most essential, Evernote is a cloud-based note-taking and productivity app. In far bigger terms, it’s a business/personal life organizer and modern digital workspace that Tom uses with total confidence.
The freedom and productivity that Evernote provides Tom is clearly evident when he calls up the highly customized workflow templates on his laptop, iPad or iPhone. And it’s wonderful to listen to Tom enthusiastically describe what he and his team can accomplish with Evernote:
All the phone calls, e-mails and meetings that seemed so essential a few years ago have been eliminated. They’ve been replaced by Evernote.
Even better? Due to the numbers Tom was able to generate with his new system, the owner of Stepping Stone Homes moved his corporate office from Dallas, Texas, to Butler, Wisconsin.
Kudos to Tom, Too
Tom knows that he has Dave Rebro to thank for the life he leads today. He knows that Evernote is critical to his business success. And he’s smart enough to give himself credit, as well. He knew something had to change, he reached out for help and he put in the sweat equity to master new skills.
