Best Real Estate CRM Software for Agents in 2026
Compare five real estate CRM options by pricing, follow-up, features and fit—from Follow Up Boss and Wise Agent to Lofty, HubSpot and Nesti.
Choosing the best real estate CRM is mostly a matching exercise. A tool built for a 20-agent team can bury a solo agent in setup and cost. Below, we compare five options and show who each one fits.
We checked recent pricing guides and review sites in October 2026. We did not run hands-on tests of every product. Prices change often, so confirm them with each vendor before you buy.
How to choose the best real estate CRM
Start with your biggest leak, not the longest feature list. Most agents lose business in one of four places.
- Speed to first reply: how fast a new inquiry gets a personal response.
- Follow-up: whether reminders and drip campaigns run without you.
- True cost: seats, calling, texting and onboarding often add up past the headline price.
- Fit: IDX websites, closing tracking and referral handoffs matter only if you use them.
Email rules in Canada and the US both require an easy way to unsubscribe. Make sure the CRM handles opt-outs for you.
Best real estate CRM software for agents: five options compared
Follow Up Boss: best for lead follow-up
Follow Up Boss focuses on routing new leads, following up on schedule and alerting agents quickly. Reviewers often mention its smart lists and action plans.
The Grow plan starts at $69 per user per month. There is no free version, though a free trial is available. That price sits toward the higher end of its alternatives.
Add-ons such as a dialer and extra users can add 30 to 60 percent to the base fee. It suits agents who live in their lead inbox.
Wise Agent: best for solo agents on a budget
Wise Agent costs $49 per month or $499 per year. That flat rate includes up to five shared team members.
It covers lead automation, a calendar, closing management and landing pages. Text messaging is an add-on at $11 per month plus an $80 registration fee.
Choose it if you want solid basics at a low, predictable price. Verify current rates on the Wise Agent pricing page.
Lofty: best for a website and ads in the same system
Lofty bundles a CRM, IDX websites and marketing campaigns, including Google ad tools. It uses request-based pricing, so you need to ask for a quote.
Add-ons can raise the cost. One example is an AI sales agent from $60 per month for 200 engaged leads. Users also report that automation setup takes real time.
It fits agents who want one vendor for everything and can budget for a longer setup.
HubSpot CRM: best for agents who want to start free
HubSpot's free tools remain available for up to two users. Paid Starter plans show $20 per seat monthly, with lower annual promotional pricing. See the HubSpot pricing page for current rates.
HubSpot is a general CRM, so you build your own deal stages and templates for real estate. It works well for agents who are comfortable setting up their own system.
Nesti: best for qualifying inbound inquiries
Nesti is an AI-powered real estate CRM built around the first conversation. Its AI assistant for real estate, RAVI, runs intake and scores each lead from 0 to 100.
Agents also get a live storefront page, calendar booking and referral handoffs to mortgage brokers and lawyers. Lead scoring and automated follow-up are part of the platform, and automated follow-ups start on the Standard plan.
Plans start at $200 USD per month with a 3-day free trial. See Nesti pricing for current details.
Nesti focuses on qualifying and routing the inquiries you already receive. Pair it with your own lead sources. You can also read how the CRM for real estate agents works.
