The answer, as recorded

"Estate agents" reads UK to me, so I'll lead with the UK market and then cover the US picks in case you meant realtors. ## UK estate agency CRMs **1. Alto (Zoopla) - the default for most independents and small multi-branch agencies.** Widest UK install base (~6,000 agencies), sales + lettings in one, and onboarding/data migration included as standard, with agencies typically live in a couple of weeks. It's the safe pick: reliable, well-supported, no enterprise complexity. Per-user pricing, so costs scale as you hire. **2. Street.co.uk - if you want the AI and a modern workflow.** Best-in-class AI features right now (AI call handler for after-hours leads, AI photo editing, AI property onboarding), and crucially it prices on an unlimited-user model rather than per seat - much better economics if you're growing headcount. Aimed at ambitious independents and small groups. **3. Reapit - only if you're genuinely enterprise.** Multi-branch sales, lettings, property management, client accounting, cross-branch reporting, plus the Foundations API and AppMarket for integrations. It's the most capable platform on this list and the most expensive/heaviest; Trustpilot feedback recurringly flags support responsiveness and add-on costs. Overkill for a 1-3 branch agency. **4. Arthur Online - if you're lettings/property-management-led** rather than sales-led. Different centre of gravity to the three above. **5. Spectre - not a CRM, but worth the line item** for vendor prospecting/farming alongside whichever CRM you pick. Two practical notes: none of these three publish pricing, so get written quotes against identical branch/user counts. And be aware the head-to-head comparisons I found are published on Alto's own blog, so the "most widely used / highest trust rating" framing is vendor marketing - verify on Kerfuffle and AllAgents. Non-negotiables to test in the demo: portal feed reliability (Rightmove/Zoopla/OTM), Renters' Rights Act-compliant tenancy templates, and a clean client money protection audit trail. ## If you meant US realtors **1. Follow Up Boss (~$69/user/mo)** - the gold standard for lead follow-up and team accountability, 250+ lead-source integrations. Caveat: it's a CRM only, no IDX site or lead gen, and dialling/texting is a $39/user/mo add-on, so realistically ~$108/user/mo. **2. Lofty (~$449/mo+)** - best built-in AI, including its agentic AI setup launched early 2026. All-in-one with IDX. **3. BoldTrail (formerly kvCORE, from ~$499/seat/mo)** - the all-in-one if you want CRM, website and lead gen from one vendor. **4. Wise Agent (~$32-49/mo)** - best budget option for solo agents; the only cheap one that includes transaction management alongside contacts and email marketing.
