Feature by feature

Everything you use, rebuilt as yours.

Ten things a brokerage pays for every month, and what replaces each one.

What Buildout doesPaid subscription, per property and per seatWhat you get insteadOne build, yours to keep
What Buildout doesA public listing siteWhat you get insteadYour own website, designed for your brokerage, on your own domain. A listing goes live the moment an agent saves it.
What Buildout doesMap and property searchWhat you get insteadMap search built into your site. Move the map and the list follows. A filtered search is a link you can text a client.
What Buildout doesListing management for brokersWhat you get insteadA broker admin on the same codebase as the public site. Agents handle photos, suites, rates and documents themselves.
What Buildout doesBrochures and offering memorandaWhat you get insteadOne click from any listing: a branded brochure or a full OM, with the licensing disclosures your state requires, per agent.
What Buildout doesRetailer maps and demographicsWhat you get insteadTenant logos placed where they sit, and census radius rings on the listing page.
What Buildout doesConfidentiality-agreement gated documentsWhat you get insteadOMs and financials stay locked until a confidentiality agreement is e-signed.
What Buildout doesBroker CRM and lead routingWhat you get insteadA CRE pipeline built in. Every inquiry lands in it, tied to the listing it came from and the agent on that listing.
What Buildout doesSyndication to LoopNet and CrexiWhat you get insteadKeep both. They are advertising, not infrastructure. The admin tracks where each listing is published, in one place.
What Buildout doesEmail campaignsWhat you get insteadBuilt in, on the listing data that is already there. No second tool to keep in sync.
What Buildout doesReportingWhat you get insteadYour listings and leads sit in your own database. Ask for the view you want and we build it, often the same day.

None of this is a module you switch on later. It is one codebase running two applications: the public site and the broker admin, already in production.

How it works

Three steps to own it.

  1. Step 01

    Send your Buildout export.

    We move listings, photos, brochures, spaces and rates in one pass.

  2. Step 02

    Review together.

    Your old site stays live while agents test. Changes ship same-day.

  3. Step 03

    Flip the switch.

    Two DNS records and you're live on your domain. Subscriptions end.

Weeks, not quarters. Nothing is lost in the move.

The 30 day parallel run

Nothing gets cancelled until you say so.

Your team works in the new platform while the Buildout subscription is still live. Both run for thirty days, side by side. Your agents list, market and answer inquiries in the new system on real listings, not a demo account.

  • Both live at once

    The old subscription stays up for the whole month. We never touch the account.

  • Your agents decide

    They use it for a month on real listings. Changes ship while they are still testing.

  • You pick the cancel date

    When the brokerage says the new platform does the job, you cancel. Not a day before.

If it does not replace what you use today, you do not pay.

Networks and franchises

Running a brokerage network or franchise? We build one platform for every office.

Each office keeps its own branding, its own agents and its own site, while listings are shared across the network, so one search returns everything the group represents.

Broker questions

Before you ask.

Do we lose what we built in Buildout?+

No. Migration is step one: listings, photos, brochures, spaces and rates move in one pass.

Who maintains it after launch?+

We do, and requests ship same-day, not into a ticket queue. You own the code, so you're never locked in.

What about LoopNet and Crexi exposure?+

Keep them. They're advertising. You stop renting your own infrastructure: site, brochures, CRM.

What does it cost to run?+

About $20 a month in hosting. Compare that to your per-seat bill, times every agent, every year.

Own your platform.
