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 October 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 $6,100 to $9,500 for the first year is more than you want to pay 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
First-year total is the entry plan for twelve months plus setup and IDX fees where charged; the three-year total keeps the same plan for 36 months. Luxury Presence's higher tiers cost more; SiteCurb has one tier. Sources and dates are under the table.

|---|---|---|
| Monthly | Not published; reviewers report about $300–$500/mo on the entry Launch plan | $39/mo, flat |
| Setup fee | One-time fee, $2,500–$3,500 depending on plan (Luxury Presence's own blog) | None |
| IDX / MLS feed | MLS integration included in the build | None — you add your own listings |

SiteCurb: $39 a month on the pricing page, nothing else to add.
That is 13.0× to 20.3× the cost for the year, and $11,896 to $20,096 more over three. Your first SiteCurb plan starts 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 setup fee of up to $3,500 is a rounding error against a single commission.
- A setup fee of $2,500 to $3,500, by Luxury Presence's own figure, leaves your account before a single visitor arrives. At the reported $300 to $500 a month on top, year one on the entry plan runs $6,100 to $9,500, and every plan is a 12-month agreement.
- You cannot see the monthly 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. SiteCurb isn't one, so there are no pipelines, drips or lead scoring. Every inquiry emails you the moment it's sent and lands in your dashboard. Sending inquiries to Notion works today, and connections that send them into Pipedrive, Zoho CRM and ActiveCampaign are rolling out.
- 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 in testing now.
Eleven templates, 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, fast server-rendered pages with photos optimized as you upload them, and a broker-disclosure footer on every template. The SiteCurb app for Canva (in Canva's review now) publishes a listing photo or headshot straight to your site. No contract; cancel anytime and billing stops.
What SiteCurb does instead of IDX
SiteCurb doesn't do IDX, and it isn't pretending to. Here is what a SiteCurb site does in its place, and who that suits.
- Your listings, shown your way. You add each listing yourself, with your photos (optimized as you upload them), your price and your words, and each one gets its own page with a photo gallery.
- Every inquiry reaches you. The contact form and every listing's inquiry form email you the moment someone writes, with reply-to set so you answer from your own inbox, and the inquiry lands in your dashboard too.
- Buyers who want your next listing. A “get new listings first” block collects the people who want to hear when you list something new.
Right for listing agents and agents whose business comes from referrals and their sphere: a fast, good-looking site that shows your own listings and gets you the message. Get IDX instead if buyers searching the whole MLS on your site is how you find clients: then Luxury Presence or another IDX product is the right tool. More on that choice in IDX explained: does your website need it?

Every template runs as a live demo you can open on your phone right now. These two are built for big listing photography:
All eleven are on the examples page. The fastest proof is your own: build your site free, preview it, and only pay if you publish it.
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.
- A first year of $6,100 to $9,500 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 on the examples page, 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 monthly prices. Its Plans page says every plan is a 12-month agreement with a one-time setup fee, and its own blog puts that fee at $2,500 to $3,500 depending on plan. Reviewers who were quoted report about $300 to $500 a month for the entry Launch plan, which puts a first year at roughly $6,100 to $9,500 before ad spend. 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 eleven well-made ones and your own photos, colors and words.
What happens to my SiteCurb site if I stop paying?
It comes down at the end of the period you paid for and goes back to a private draft. Nothing you built is deleted, so you can start a plan again later and publish the same site. There is no contract and no cancellation fee.
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. Every Luxury Presence plan is a 12-month agreement, so check your agreement for when your term ends and any notice period before you cancel.
