A Real Geeks alternative for the solo agent

What Real Geeks 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. Real Geeks's higher tiers cost more; SiteCurb has one tier. Sources and dates are under the table.

Sources: Real Geeks pricing page ($399/mo, $500 setup, IDX $10/board/mo, 6- or 12-month commitment), read 6 September 2026. SiteCurb: $39 a month on the pricing page, nothing else to add.

Every Real Geeks plan and fee, each one sourced and dated, is in our Real Geeks pricing guide.

That is 11.6× the cost for the year, and $13,820 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 Real Geeks hurts a solo agent

Real Geeks is a lead-generation platform: IDX search, a CRM, and a website to hang them on, priced at $399 a month plus a $500 setup fee plus $10 a month per MLS board for IDX, on a 6- or 12-month commitment. It earns its keep for teams that feed it traffic and work the leads daily. For a solo listing agent it is a lot of machinery.

• $500 up front, then $409 a month once one IDX board is on the bill. Year one is $5,408 — more than eleven years of SiteCurb.
• You are paying for a CRM and a search engine whether or not you use them. If your leads come from listings, referrals and your sphere, most of that bill is dead weight.
• A lead-gen platform is built to be fed. The site is the top of a funnel that expects you to keep sending it traffic; without that, it is an expensive brochure.
• Every enquiry on SiteCurb emails you instantly with reply-to set — you answer from your own inbox, no pipeline to manage.

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.

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 Real Geeks or another IDX product is the right tool. More on that choice in IDX explained: does your website need it?

Who should stay with Real Geeks

Fair is fair. Real Geeks is the better choice if:

• You run buyer lead generation and need IDX search plus a CRM in one system — that is what Real Geeks is for.
• You have a team or an assistant working the CRM daily, so the $5,408 is producing closed deals.
