WHAT THEY CANNOT DO

The gaps no lead tool fills

Lead management tools capture contacts and send drip emails. But closing deals requires proposals, signatures, transaction management, client portals, and marketing that kvCORE and Follow Up Boss simply do not offer.

  • Proposals & E-Signatures: No DocuSign Required

    kvCORE and Follow Up Boss have no proposal builder. You create listing presentations in Canva, send contracts through DocuSign ($25-65/month), and track everything in spreadsheets. Calisto includes Proposals for building branded listing and buyer presentations, delivered to the client portal with real-time status tracking, plus Sign for legally binding e-signatures with a full audit trail. One system, zero add-on fees.

  • Client Portal: Transparency That Closes

    Neither kvCORE nor Follow Up Boss offers a client-facing portal. Your clients call and email for updates. Calisto Navigator gives every client a self-service portal with listing search results and a property shortlist, showing schedules, a document vault holding the signed contracts, a transaction timeline, and direct messaging. Buyers and sellers see their deal progress in real-time without calling you.

  • MLS Syndication: Direct, Not Through IDX

    kvCORE locks you into their IDX website. Follow Up Boss has no listing syndication. Calisto syndicates your listings directly to Zillow, Realtor.com, Rightmove, Domain, Idealista, PropertyFinder, and 20+ portals. Your listings carry your branding rather than the platform's, distributed globally without IDX lock-in.

Collect earnest money. Your way.

kvCORE and Follow Up Boss have no payment processing. You juggle separate systems for earnest money deposits and commission collection. Calisto connects to 75 payment gateways: collect earnest money, process referral fees, and handle commission splits all in one platform.

Honest answers

Switching questions

Does Calisto replace my IDX website?

Calisto does not include an IDX website. You can keep your existing website or use any IDX provider. What Calisto does provide is direct MLS syndication to 20+ property portals, a proposal builder, e-signatures, client portals, and marketing automation, none of which kvCORE's IDX site replaces.

How does Calisto handle real estate-specific workflows?

Calisto includes ZipForms integration for state-specific forms, MLS syndication to 20+ portals, transaction management with milestone tracking, CMA tools for market analysis, open house management with lead capture, and client portals for buyer and seller transparency. All built specifically for real estate workflows.

How does pricing work?

Setting up costs nothing and no card is required. You get full access to all 71 products with no feature restrictions. Core carries no additional cost. Commerce is a 1% revenue share. Every other suite is priced per app in the Marketplace.

Why do you charge a percentage of revenue?

Because it makes us partners, not a vendor. A flat subscription means your software company collects the same fee in your best month and your worst. A revenue share means we only grow when you grow. Slow month or off-season? Your bill scales down with you.
