A Luxury Presence alternative for the solo agent
Luxury Presence is agency-grade websites for luxury agents and teams, sold through a demo call. SiteCurb is a $39-a-month website you build yourself, with your own listings and your own address, live tonight. Here is the honest comparison — including who should stay put.
Updated September 2026
The verdict
Switch if you are a solo listing agent who wants a fast, good-looking site with your own listings on it, and you are tired of paying ≈ $7,100 a year for it. Stay if your business runs on full-MLS IDX search or a built-in CRM — SiteCurb does not have either, on purpose. Not sure? Build a SiteCurb site free and decide when you see it: start your site.
What Luxury Presence costs in year one
As of September 2026, per published pricing. First-year total is the entry plan for twelve months plus any published setup and IDX fees. Luxury Presence's higher tiers cost more; SiteCurb has one tier.
| Luxury Presence | SiteCurb | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | from $300/mo | $39/mo, flat |
| Setup fee | $3,500 | None |
| IDX / MLS feed | Included in IDX tiers | None — you add your own listings |
| First-year total | ≈ $7,100 | $468 |
| Contract | 12-month agreement, per the Plans page | None. Cancel anytime; billing stops. |
| How you buy | Demo call before you see a price | Self-serve. Sign up, build free, pay only to publish. |
That is 15.2× the cost for the year. Every SiteCurb plan also comes with a 14-day free trial, and you build the whole site before a card ever comes out — you pay only to publish.
Where Luxury Presence hurts a solo agent
Luxury Presence builds polished, agency-quality sites for high-end agents, teams and brokerages, with IDX and CRM tiers stacked on top. It is a real product for a real market — one where a $3,500 setup fee is a rounding error against a single commission.
- $3,500 leaves your account before a single visitor arrives. At $300 a month on top, year one runs about $7,100 on the entry plan — roughly fifteen years of SiteCurb.
- You cannot see the price without booking a demo call. That is a sales process designed for teams with a marketing budget, not for one agent deciding on a Tuesday night.
- The design polish is built to impress at the luxury tier. If most of your listings are ordinary family homes, you are paying for a brand voice that is not yours.
- Custom builds take time. SiteCurb goes from signup to live in an afternoon, with no queue and no questionnaire.
What you give up with SiteCurb
The honest list. None of these is hidden in a footnote, so you can decide with them in view.
- No IDX or MLS feed. SiteCurb shows your listings — you add them yourself, with your photos (auto-optimized) and your words. That is what makes the $39 possible: there is nothing to license, so there is nothing to mark up. If your site needs to search the entire MLS, this is the wrong product.
- No CRM.Contact and per-listing enquiry forms email you instantly with reply-to set, and a “get new listings first” block collects subscribers. Pipelines, drips and lead scoring are not here; keep a CRM if you run one.
- No custom domain yet. Your site lives at yourname.sitecurb.com, with a TLS certificate, the moment you publish. Connecting a domain you already own is coming.
Six templates — Classic, Modern, Estate, Metro, Harbor and Gallery, each with a live demo — your listings with photo galleries, your-voice fields (tagline, why work with me, client quotes), a draft preview before you publish, pages built to score 100/100 on PageSpeed, and a broker-disclosure footer on every template. No contract; cancel anytime and billing stops.
Who should stay with Luxury Presence
Fair is fair. Luxury Presence is the better choice if:
- You sell at the luxury end and a bespoke, agency-designed brand is a genuine part of your pitch.
- You want full-inventory IDX search and a CRM in one contract, and you have a team to work the leads it produces.
- $7,000 a year is a small line in your marketing budget, and you would rather have someone else build it.
Switching in an afternoon
- Claim your address. Sign up at SiteCurb and type your name — yourname.sitecurb.com is reserved on the spot. No card required to build.
- Pick a template. Open the live demos (demo-classic.sitecurb.com through demo-gallery.sitecurb.com), choose one, set your colors and logo. You can switch later; your content moves with you.
- Add your listings and your voice. Re-enter your active listings with your own photos, then fill in your tagline, why work with me, and a few client quotes.
- Preview, then publish. Check the draft, flip it live. The 14-day free trial starts here; after that it is $39 a month.
- Move your links and close the old account. Update your sign riders, cards, email signature and Instagram. Then cancel Luxury Presence when your current term allows — check your agreement for notice terms before you do.
Questions people ask
Is SiteCurb really a Luxury Presence alternative, or just cheaper?
It is an alternative for the solo agent who wants a fast, good-looking site with their own listings on it. It is not an alternative for a luxury team that needs a bespoke agency build with IDX search and a CRM — Luxury Presence is the right tool for that, and it costs what it costs.
How much does Luxury Presence cost in the first year?
Luxury Presence publishes no prices; as of September 2026, reviewers report plans starting around $300 a month plus a setup fee of $3,500 or more on a 12-month agreement, which puts a first year at roughly $7,100 on the entry tier. Higher tiers and add-ons run more. SiteCurb is $39 a month flat — $468 for the year — with no setup fee.
Will a SiteCurb site look cheap next to a Luxury Presence site?
Judge for yourself: every template has a live demo at demo-<template>.sitecurb.com. Estate and Gallery are built for high-end listings and large photography. What you will not get is a one-off custom design — you get six well-made ones and your own photos, colors and words.
Can I move from Luxury Presence without losing my listings?
Your active listings are yours — re-enter them on SiteCurb with your own photos in a few minutes each. Check your Luxury Presence agreement for the notice period before you cancel; contract terms are not on their public pricing page.
