The question asked, verbatim: best real estate crm for estate agents
Brands named, in the order the engine gave
- Alto mentioned
Alto (Zoopla) - the default safe choice for most independent sales/lettings agencies.
- Street recommended
Street.co.uk - my pick if you're growing, multi-branch, or care about the vendor/landlord-facing experience.
- Street.co.uk recommended
Street.co.uk - my pick if you're growing, multi-branch, or care about the vendor/landlord-facing experience.
- Reapit mentioned
Reapit - the enterprise standard.
- third-party mentioned
Roughly £400-£1,500/mo per third-party estimates, and it's a heavier implementation.
- Apex27 recommended
Apex27 - best for small/solo independents who hate opaque sales processes.
- Dezrez mentioned
Dezrez or Veco (Eurolink) - worth a look only if you're lettings/block-management heavy with complex client accounting that Alto can't stretch to.
- Pipedrive mentioned
Pipedrive - not a property CRM, but if you're a new agent or a small commercial/land outfit that mostly needs a pipeline and doesn't need portal feeds or tenancy management, it's ~£14/seat/month and far less friction.
- Follow Up Boss mentioned
Follow Up Boss first - best pure CRM, 250+ lead-source integrations, strong speed-to-lead and team accountability.
- BoldTrail mentioned
Then BoldTrail (kvCORE) if you want IDX website + CRM bundled at brokerage scale, Real Geeks for best-value all-in-one for solo/small teams, and Lofty or Sierra Interactive if lead gen is your bottleneck.
- Lofty mentioned
Then BoldTrail (kvCORE) if you want IDX website + CRM bundled at brokerage scale, Real Geeks for best-value all-in-one for solo/small teams, and Lofty or Sierra Interactive if lead gen is your bottleneck.

The answer, as recorded
"Estate agents" reads UK to me, so I'll answer for the UK market first, with a short US note at the end. ## The ones I'd actually shortlist **1. Alto (Zoopla)** - the default safe choice for most independent sales/lettings agencies. It's the most widely deployed UK agency CRM (~6,000 agencies, 25,000 users), covers sales, lettings, property management and compliance in one place, and the portal integration is well-trodden. Downside: it's priced **per user**, so costs climb with every hire. ([Alto](https://www.altosoftware.co.uk/blog/best-estate-agency-crm-software-in-2026-8-platforms-compared/)) **2. Street.co.uk** - my pick if you're growing, multi-branch, or care about the vendor/landlord-facing experience. Unlimited-user pricing (reported around £149/mo, with startup and volume discounts), native consumer apps, a sales chain builder, material-information compliance, and the most aggressive AI feature set of the three. Best value per head if you have a lot of staff. ([Letting Agent Today](https://www.lettingagenttoday.co.uk/sponsored-content/2026/08/the-uks-best-property-management-software-for-2026-alto-vs-reapit-vs-street-compared/), [bizaitools](https://bizaitools.co.uk/alto-vs-street-vs-reapit/)) **3. Reapit** - the enterprise standard. If you're a mid-to-large or corporate multi-branch group needing client accounting, deep pipeline intelligence and applicant matching at scale, this is the one. Roughly £400-£1,500/mo per third-party estimates, and it's a heavier implementation. Overkill for a one- or two-branch shop. ([esremedia](https://esremedia.co.uk/blog/alto-vs-reapit-vs-street-uk)) **4. Apex27** - best for small/solo independents who hate opaque sales processes. Publicly listed pricing (£35+VAT per user/month), 30-day trial, no setup fees, no long contract, and it covers sales, lettings, commercial and auctions. ([Apex27](https://apex27.co.uk/)) **5. Dezrez or Veco (Eurolink)** - worth a look only if you're lettings/block-management heavy with complex client accounting that Alto can't stretch to. Niche, but they win those deals. **6. Pipedrive** - not a property CRM, but if you're a new agent or a small commercial/land outfit that mostly needs a pipeline and doesn't need portal feeds or tenancy management, it's ~£14/seat/month and far less friction. ([ExpertSure](https://www.expertsure.com/uk/crm-software/crm-for-estate-agents/)) **If you're commercial rather than residential:** Kato, not any of the above. ([Kato](https://www.kato.app/)) ## If you actually meant US real estate **Follow Up Boss** first - best pure CRM, 250+ lead-source integrations, strong speed-to-lead and team accountability. Then **BoldTrail (kvCORE)** if you want IDX website + CRM bundled at brokerage scale, **Real Geeks** for best-value all-in-one for solo/small teams, and **Lofty** or **Sierra Interactive** if lead gen is your bottleneck. ([Sierra Interactive](https://www.sierrainteractive.com/insights/blog/best-real-estate-crm/), [Luxury Presence](https://www.luxurypresence.com/blogs/the-best-real-estate-crm-software/)) ## Two honest caveats - A lot of the UK comparison content above is published by the vendors themselves (Alto and Street both run "best CRM" blogs ranking themselves first), so treat the rankings as marketing and the feature facts as roughly reliable. - None of Alto, Street or Reapit publish real pricing - the numbers I quoted are third-party estimates. Get written quotes from all three against the *same* branch and user count, or you can't compare them. If I had to pick blind for a typical 1-3 branch independent doing sales and lettings: **Alto**, with **Street** as the one to seriously price against it.
