Cătălin Tarara. Real-estate agent. Automation builder.
I'm a real-estate agent at Blitz Ploiești (2.5% + VAT commission). And I'm the only N8N expert in Romania who closes real-estate deals weekly — with the help of his own automations.
The short story: why the dual role.
I started building N8N workflows for my own prospecting work. It made sense — I had 171 owner calls to make per month and couldn't keep up manually. I built one agent that did initial sorting, one that qualified leads on WhatsApp, another that triaged my Gmail.
Then an acquaintance asked for "the same thing, but for my dental practice." I built it. It worked. Next came a lawyer. Then a marketing agency. Then an auto-repair shop in Ploiești.
The realization: every competitor in Romania selling "AI for business" (AIFactory, Automatizari.ai, AI4Business, ImobiliareAI) never uses their own product on their own business. They're consultants recommending a diet they've never been on.
I don't sell automations I haven't put to work in my own business first. — my operating principle
Four ways to work. You pick.
I buy a template
€59 — €299. JSON workflow + setup PDF + 5-min Loom. Import, configure API keys, run. 14-day email support. For people who want full control and can follow a tutorial.
Template + full setup
€299 — €1,499. You give me access to your N8N (cloud or self-hosted), I import the workflow, wire everything, test with your data, run a 60-min training Zoom. 30-day support. For "go live tomorrow" people.
Full custom build
€1,000 — €7,000. Discovery → spec → build → UAT → go-live. 2-4 week sprint. Full IP transfer. For complex multi-step processes with proprietary integrations.
Monthly maintenance
€100 — €500/month. APIs change, LLMs evolve, models age out. SLA: 24h response Mon-Fri. Cancel anytime. For people who want peace of mind.
Why trust a single freelancer?
Honest question. Here are the concrete answers:
- Legally registered Romanian sole-trader (PFA) — finalized 2026, VAT ID visible in footer. Primary CAEN 6831 real estate + 6220 IT + 7410 web design. Instant fiscal invoicing. Digital contract via PandaDoc or equivalent.
- Active real-estate agent at Blitz Ploiești — a real agency with a physical office and legal contracts. You can find me on any Romanian property portal in Prahova. I'm verifiable as a person, not a phantom entity.
- 200+ N8N workflows built over the past year. Partially public on GitHub (rolling release). Case studies in pipeline (Blitz one is live here).
- Self-hosted N8N on EU VPS — all customer data stays in the European Union (Hetzner Falkenstein or Bucharest datacenters). GDPR-compatible.
- Active YouTube + LinkedIn under my real name "Catalin Tarara". Technical content published weekly. Verifiable any time.
- Romanian and English working languages. All workflows configured with locale-aware prompts, proper diacritics, and local integrations (ANAF, SmartBill, Oblio, eMag, Glovo).
- Cancel anytime on maintenance. Code stays 100% yours. If I disappear tomorrow, the workflows keep running on your server.
