How Small EDOs Can Win Big Projects with Sitehunt

Table of Contents

On a Tuesday not long ago, two small EDOs, both with three-person teams, both juggling BRE visits, board packets, and an inbox full of RFIs, received the same project. Same acreage, same utility specs, same timeline.

A month later, one team was still chasing missing details. The other had already submitted a polished, data-backed response and moved on to courting another lead.

What made the difference wasn’t budget, headcount, or even luck. It was how quickly they could turn scattered property info into answers a company could trust, and how fast they could prove it.

A candid admission, before we go further: Sitehunt will not replace your relationships, manage your BR&E visits, or do your board politics. It will not invent workforce where none exists, and it will not make you sound smart after one login. Wit and wisdom are still on you.

But if you care about speed, clarity, and getting the RFI out the door with confidence, Sitehunt may be the smartest small investment you make this year.


Here’s what Sitehunt does for small teams (1–5 people who wear all the hats):

  • Turns incomplete listings into enriched, market-ready properties without GIS expertise.
  • Reads RFIs for you. Upload the document, Sitehunt extracts criteria, scores your inventory, flags “needs more info,” and generates a clean response package.
  • Keeps your inventory fresh automatically. Weekly listing syncs, parcel data with ownership and zoning, powerful search and filters, and controls for pocket listings.
  • Puts deep, authoritative layers at your fingertips so you can answer the second and third questions without a data hunt.
  • Works everywhere you do: phone, tablet, or desktop. No installs, no compromises.
  • Respects your data. You own it. If you ever leave, we deliver a full export in open formats within 7 business days at no cost.

Why does that matter? Time.

Every hour you do not spend guessing at line sizes, triangulating drive times, or re-formatting attachments is an hour you can spend calling a broker back, prepping your board, or walking a site.

Sitehunt compresses due diligence so you can show, not tell, and do it on deadline.


From day one, you will see the difference:

  • Your sites, mapped and enriched.
  • Your RFIs, scored and answered.
  • Your team, free to focus on winning projects, not formatting spreadsheets.

This is not just about getting one proposal out the door faster.
It is about building a future where even the smallest shop can look and act like the biggest.

Book a 30-minute demo and see how far your team can go with Sitehunt.

Sincerely,
Dane Carlson
Founder & CEO, Sitehunt

P.S. You do not need a bigger team to look bigger. You need faster truth: clear maps, complete answers, and a response that lands first.
