Where we win

First-year cost on Websites Launch is about $1,563: a $495 one-time build plus $89 a month. The comparable figure here is ~$4,888+.

Year one, not month one About $1,563 all in against a reported $4,888 and up, because their model front-loads a five-figure design fee and ours does not.
The design is included, not commissioned You get a site built for your market and your brand at a build fee of $495. Custom design is the product, not a project you commission separately.
The site is run for you Hosting, MLS feeds, page speed, local content and edits are our job every month. With an agency the build ends and the maintenance retainer begins.
A front office comes with it Workspace, coming soon, is included free with every site, so the lead capture, contacts and follow-up are not another vendor to sign.

A beautiful website is the start of the job, not the end

Agent Image's portfolio is genuinely impressive — twenty years of high-end real estate design, including sites for some of the most recognizable agents in the country. If the brief is "make something gorgeous and bespoke," they deliver.

Our disagreement is about what happens at 9pm when a buyer registers. A standalone website — however beautiful — hands that moment to whatever separate CRM and automation you bolted on, if any. We build the website and that moment as one product: design in service of the system, not instead of it. It's also just less money: three years with us costs about what many semi-custom projects cost before hosting.

Where they're the better fit

If you want a six-figure, art-directed flagship — custom illustration, film production, a design team on call for a brand empire — that's a commission, and Agent Image (or Luxury Presence) is built for it in a way a flat-price system isn't. Celebrity teams with brand budgets should look there first.

Does Agent Image include a CRM or follow-up automation?

No. Agent Image is a website design agency. CRM, follow-up automation, and lead nurture are separate products you choose and pay for elsewhere. Broker & Agent Solutions includes Workspace, coming soon, with every site: free for lead capture and a full CRM on Pro. It will feed the CRM you already run instead if you would rather keep it.

Who is Agent Image best for?

Agents and teams who think of their website as a bespoke design commission: they want deep creative control, have five figures to invest upfront, and already have (or plan) a separate CRM and marketing stack. Their design portfolio spans two decades of high-end real estate sites.

Who is Broker & Agent Solutions best for?

Agents who want custom design for their market without a five-figure invoice before launch, and who want the site built to rank and feed the CRM they already use, rather than standing alone as a beautiful brochure.
