Quick verdict

Lofty suits teams buying site, crm and ads together, but publishes no pricing at all, so budgeting means booking a sales call first. Real Geeks suits agents who want site plus crm together, at $399/mo, 6-month or 12-month commitment. The deciding factor is usually whether you need leads and a website supplied for you, or you already have those and just need the follow-up to be airtight.

  • Lowest satisfaction score of the big all-in-one platforms here

  • 24/7 US-based support and hands-on onboarding
What does not

  • IDX feeds cost $10/mo per MLS board on top

What reviewers say

4.3/5
G2, 406 reviews. Capterra 3.9/5 (127 reviews)

The most common criticism is not slow support but inaccurate support, with reviewers describing front-line staff who do not know the product well. The second recurring theme is the gap between what the demo implies is included and what turns out to be a paid add-on.

4.5/5
G2, 109 reviews. Capterra listing has only 2 reviews, not meaningful

Reviewers rate the website and lead-capture tooling well and value the transparent pricing. The commitment term and the setup fee are the most common objections.
