" October 5, 2026 1.0 BEWARE THE AUTORENEWAL! I have emails going back weeks that I didn't want my policy renewed... and low and behold this month.. they auto-renewed me. Be extra weary of anything you sign over at boldtrail. They have a good pitch, but their delivery is pretty average and can be achieved on a much cheaper system/CRM. Pros The system does have some neat integration with other systems. But not enough to justify how much you have to learn about the system to navigate it effectively or efficiently. Cons BIG FLOP! Boldtrail has almost no customization and is so "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" in every aspect of their decision making. Review Source Barbara G. Realtor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "$12,000 Paid. Ads Suspended Without Notice. Data Access Denied in Writing." June 5, 2026 1.0 I contracted BoldTrail/IRE Lead 360 in October 2025 at $1,500/month for managed real estate advertising. After 8 months and $12,000 paid, I have received no data access, experienced an undisclosed ad suspension, and was denied basic campaign transparency in writing by their General Counsel. I have filed complaints with the Florida AG (FDUTPA), the FTC, and the BBB. Pros The platform setup was handled by their team, requiring minimal technical effort from the me. And as a one man show, this seemed straightforward. Cons International phone numbers are not supported — never disclosed at signing. Confirmed in writing March 2, 2026. Google Ads suspended November 25, 2025 with no notice while billing continued at $1,500/month. IRE's General Counsel confirmed in writing May 4, 2026 that campaign data will never be provided to clients as it is "proprietary to IRE." Two formal breach notices rejected without remedy. Review Source Jarrett S. Realtor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Still early but INCREDIBLY disappointed" May 20, 2026 2.0 It's early on, but the beginning has been incredibly rough, and very concerned about the future with them. They lock you in for a year, but coming from CINC I had high expectations it would be like "CINC on Steroids" But it so far has not been that at all. It's very expensive and for this price it should be amazing... It feels like this was not built with Realtors in mind... Everywhere you turn you'll scratch your head and wonder why... For instance property alerts... it will send over 100 properties at a time if there's that many in their search criteria instead of in batches, or like how I dunno Zillow does it... Pros The all in one aspect, the website looks nice, that's really about it... There's really not much else, the Streams app (AI Assistant) is pretty cool I guess. Cons From the outside looking in, it looks like a very impressive system with all the bells and whistles... But it can't even seem to do the simple things correctly. We've been using the platform for just about 2 weeks and it's been a dreadful start... The implementation took almost a month (even though everything could've been done in a week or less), once you're in you quickly realize it's extra $$ for specific features. Support and customer service slow to get back to you, I have one customer success person who's been super helpful but we have about 10 issues going on at the moment and feel bad bombarding her with everything. It feels like Boldtrail was built off a template of Go High Level, but it's just "messy"...

There are too many options to deal with incompetent people when managing your business. Pros Bold trail is a basic CRM that acts like any other. The functions of the base system are basic and can certainly take care of any basic CRM needs. Cons The customer service and management are a bit of a joke. I agreed to an expansion for leads, signed a contract, and was charged twice what my contract states. I brought it to their attention and they are now trying to say it should have been more, and a discounted amount was in my contract. This is ludicrous and I’m in the process of having my bank review and get my money back. I would caution spending any money with them without an iron clad agreement… even then you might have to fight to have them do what they say they will do. I have proof of everything and will get this sorted, but it’s a pan in the butt and I wanted everyone to know and caution when working with these guys. Specifically \[sensitive content hidden\] and \[sensitive content hidden\] (lead department). Horrible customer service. Review Source Jachelle S.

When agents take the time to optimize their profiles, connect their website tools, configure their CRM automations, and actively use the system, BoldTrail can support everything from lead capture to long term client follow up. I see the biggest success with agents who treat the platform like a business system rather than just a website or CRM. And as a new real estate agent myself in Washington, I’m especially grateful to be able to start my business journey with a system like this. It’s very user friendly and gives me the confidence that I have the tools I need to build my business from day one. The reality is that the tools are already there for most REMAX agents. The key difference is whether they are actually set up and being used strategically. Pros BoldTrail is a very powerful platform when agents understand how all the pieces connect. I like that it brings together multiple tools in one ecosystem including agent websites, CRM, listing landing pages, market reports, home valuations, CMA tools, DesignCenter marketing, and automation systems. For REMAX agents specifically, it integrates directly with our existing tech stack and can connect website activity to lead capture and follow up. When optimized properly, it allows agents to generate listing websites automatically, capture buyer and seller leads, and build long term database relationships without needing multiple third party tools. From a marketing and technology training perspective, I also appreciate that it gives agents a strong foundation to build on. Once profiles, SEO visibility, and automation systems are configured correctly, it can become a very effective business engine instead of just another software platform running in the background. Cons The biggest challenge is that many agents don’t realize how much setup and optimization is required to unlock the full value of the platform. Out of the box, the system exists and technically works, but if profiles, automation, lead routing, website content, and CRM workflows are not configured correctly, it can feel underwhelming. In reality, the platform is powerful but it requires intentional setup, ongoing training, and periodic maintenance. Another challenge is that many agents underestimate the system because they only use a small percentage of what it can actually do.

The lead management was extremely helpful in keeping my leads and contacts organized. Cons The user interface was a little complicated but with trainings and continued use, it opened up a world of helpful tools. Review Source R Reviewer Agent Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "BOLD TRAIL REVIEW" January 16, 2026 4.0 Ive used it since it was KV core it's been a big help. Ill keep using until there is a better alternative Pros It's a good way to keep things organized, Very user friendly. The support staff is always very quick to respond when help is needed. Cons The mobile app is horrible. It seems to not work great on any mobile browser which sucks cause im working while on the road a lot. Review Source R Reviewer REALTOR® Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great product overall." January 15, 2026 4.0 Overall great! I have a lot more to learn and love all the programs for educating myself that are easily accessible within the program. Pros The ability to track and maintain all of your leads in one location! Keeping track of all your messages to your client via text and email in one program is great. Cons They recently have been having some issues with notifying me about messages coming from leads and clients. Review Source Liana N. Broker-Associate Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "DON'T BE MISLEAD!" January 15, 2026 2.0 Pros So far not much to like. I could go on and on but you can read more in the Cons below. I would love to get out of this contract. Cons Don't do it - it is Kvcore disguised as BoldTrail and just as cumbersome to operate. Their website is one of the worst and if you want it to be any better you have to pay them even more money. You do not get support. You call in and wait for up to an hour and then they tell you a specialist will call you and this typically happens when you are with a client and not in front of a computer. They do not schedule set times to discuss with a live person your needs and help you. I was told I would have a 'go to' specialist that would be there to help me navigate their system but they also said it was super easy to use. Maybe if you are just out of college and more tech savvy, but someone who is a seasoned agent looking to connect primarily with a large database built over the years this is not the system. I was totally mislead as I have already tried KvCore and Moxiworks and I was told this was so much easier, it is not. DO NOT pay for their Lead 350 program as it bogs down you email and text messages with bogus leads. As you can see I am not a happy camper with BoldTrail. Review Source R Reviewer Agent Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Bold Trail needs more feedback from users" January 15, 2026 3.0 I send out lots of home flyers. On Boom Town I was able to use color and view how many times a customer opens the flyer to determine interest. Now the new system only shows opened and a click on the link. Pros I like that you can move your customer notes to the top of the contact listing. I like that you can control whether a customer receives texts or calls in profile. Cons The number of texts and emails sent to a new lead is much too much! The first thing I do when I receive a lead is to stop texts sent to their phone. Review Source R Reviewer Realtor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The Best Realtor Platform" December 21, 2023 5.0 Pros Having previously been an admin in the 90's, followed by then being an assistant to various agents, and now being a licensed Realtor since 2006. I have seen how the industry has evolved along with new technology. I have seen what works and what doesn't work. And, KVCore is a platform that combines all the latest technology into one platform to assist agents. It's the first thing I log into each day. Cons Sometimes I would prefer to be able to call in for help versus waiting for a response. Review Source Bill S. Team Leader Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Best CRM/Website!" January 13, 2022 5.0 I love kvCore and often brag about its features to my peers. I have gained new clients that have found me via my website and the fact that the system reaches out to them through its AI in the background. Pros Very intuitive and easy to use. Love the AI and the seamless integration from website and CRM. kvCore is heads and shoulders above all other CRM platforms out there! Cons I would like to see more reporting available for my team members so I can monitor if they are using the system propertly. Review Source R Reviewer Realtor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "BoldTrail = KVCore = Inside Real Estate = NOT WORTH IT." September 5, 2025 1.0 9 out of 10 times it is a very poor experience. It think they hired subpar people or just trying to create a one stop shop and ended up with just a big fail. Pros Very little, I have been using this since 2021, because my brokerage chose to use it, back when it was called KVCore. I have been begging them to get rid of it. Nothing changed, its still very bad at most things and OK at some things. Cons The support is horrendous, they may up answers, a solution that should take 10 minutes is an all day event and it is very unusual for them to solve anything. The only thing support seems to do well at is to point you to explanations of things but if there is a functional issue, the blame you, pretend like its not an issue or just stall for hours. It got to the point of me stopping to ask for a solution, maybe that was the goal in the end. Simple stuff like email setups, campaigns not triggering or IDX not working appropriately.

Managing Broker Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "KvCore is solid, but not great for customization" January 17, 2022 4.0 Pros Lots of features and add-ons available. Cons Limited ability to customize things. Websites all look the same. Color schemes limited. Review Source R Reviewer Realtor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Do not believe the hype. Go to any KvCore website as a potential buyer or seller and you will be frustrated with the experience." May 27, 2024 1.0 Simply the worst CRM CMS combo I have used and I have been using these kinds of tools for over 25 years. Pros They have good marketing - if it only functioned as advertised. Cons The CMS is terrible and buggy. The "training" materials are dated, with many of the videos not even matching the current layout (their FB site has one from 2019 pinned as the "101 Video). Review Source Octavia H. Realtor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Do not buy this !!!" April 17, 2023 1.0 This has created a huge problem for me as I really still need a CRM but the realtor.com professional dashboard really has a lot to offer now and has expanded so I just use that and the Compass CRM. Pros It is so difficult to use, many of the gurus recommend it. Do not listen to them -- it is not easy to maneuver. It takes so much time to work through it. Absolutely you need to have some sort of degree in IT to figure it out. Cons I do not like anything about this software and you will not either. They also will not let you out of the contract you have to sign to get started. Review Source R Reviewer Realtor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Over Promised Under Delivered" August 1, 2023 1.0 2 months in and I still do not have a functioning website that I am confident in Pros The platform has potential if properly set up Cons The main problem is that the website has had glitches that continue to happen with no accountability from KVcore Review Source R Reviewer Residential Sales and Marketing Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Overpromised, Underdelivered, and Poorly Supported" November 27, 2025 1.0 After six months of use, the experience has been overwhelmingly frustrating. We entered the contract based on promises of automation, integration, and marketing tools, but the system has been unstable, glitchy, and poorly supported from the start. Communication with the support team has been minimal, and problems that directly affect day-to-day business remain unresolved. For a product marketed as a professional-grade real estate solution, it has failed to deliver even the basics reliably. Pros The concept and interface look modern and promising. On paper, it’s an all-in-one platform for agents and brokerages with potential to streamline operations. In reality, it's been a nightmare. Cons xecution and reliability are major issues. Many key features don’t work as advertised, including basic site functionality and lead tools. Support is extremely slow, often unresponsive, and tickets can remain open for months without resolution. We even experienced a major security failure where authentication codes were sent to the wrong users, preventing agents from accessing their own accounts. Custom website features we paid thousands for never worked correctly despite repeated follow-up.

Being able to send a lead several listing in one "click" is great. Pros The way it enables you to see an overview of your business, your leads and their activity is excellent. Easy to filter and contact the leads through the platform. The chat support is excellent and timely, and always ready for any questions and requests...no matter how silly! Cons Some features are not so easily visible and one needs to know where to look which can be frustrating. When sending emails with attachments you need to remember to go into advanced editing mode and "know" that the attachment needs to be placed in a "button"....which complicates the process. Please make this more user friendly! Review Source R Reviewer Licensed Real Estate Salesperson Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great CRM overall one stop shop for all your daily to do's" January 13, 2022 5.0 Having KvCORE definitely facilitates my business and keeps me organized- just not satisfied with the lack of support for agents. Pros All the integrations, the automation and the ease of lead window. Easy to use and customize Cons the software its self has been great- customer service is another story. very unhappy with the timeline and lack of communication with in the company for any help with this software. Review Source R Reviewer Realtor Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Kundos to BoldTrail " May 13, 2025 5.0 It has been user friendly and best program I have used so far for my Business Pros Tools to consistently connect with my sphere, creating tasks to keep me on track, tracking and utilizing my vitals Cons Learning how to create the landing pages were the most difficult Review Source R Reviewer Realtor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Boldtrail RLp Sphere" May 12, 2025 5.0 excellent use full for converting costumer and i like the auto following save me time Pros Property boost and CRM the smart campaign and the fact to manage my own website Cons MLS number are not there for some property to share with my client Review Source Ruth P. Affiliate Broker Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Not worth it!" March 27, 2025 1.0 Horrible. You keep getting passed from one customer service person to the next and get nowhere. 4 days to get to T2 and actually it might be 5 days... a full work week... before I hear from them. Pros The creative aspect is wonderful! they have templates that are fairly easy to make your own. Cons They set my profile up wrong and 4 days later and I still can't get it fixed. Not worth my time. Review Source R Reviewer Real Estate Agent Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "BoldTrail: A powerful and efficient Must have tool for Real Estate Agents " November 26, 2024 5.0 Overall, my experience with BoldTrail has been positive. It’s a powerful tool that significantly streamlines client management, lead generation, and marketing tasks. However, there are occasional challenges with feature compatibility in the Canadian market and support responsiveness. Despite these drawbacks, it remains essential for scaling and automating my real estate business. Pros Sure, I like BoldTrail because of its all-in-one platform for CRM, lead generation, and marketing automation. Cons What I like least about BoldTrail is that some features still feel tailored more for the U.S. market, which creates limitations for Canadian agents like myself. Additionally, the support is slow and not always helpful. Review Source R Reviewer agent Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "GOOD PRODUCET" December 19, 2023 5.0 Pretty good. There is always a rep or someone you can reach out to for assistance, lots of tutorial, (but you will definitely spend a lot of time on those tutorials) If you are not a super busy agent or if you have an assistant to learn it and use it for you, it's great. But if you are a busy agent and you don't have a transaction coordiantor, or an assistant, you will probably not have the time to learn it and end up either not using it at all, avoiding it, (like I did), or not even close to scratching the full potential. Pros KVCORE literally has everything. You can monitor messages that have been opened by the client. Set up property alerts right from there. Create campaigns, lead management, etc. Lots of tutorials and info available on fb and youtube. Love that I can prioritize clients on level of interest/commitment. Cons The nosey neighbor did not generate any viable leads and was expensive. The screen setup is a little overwhelming, and not super easy to spot everything, so I believe I am probably not utilizing most features because they're not super recognizable. I really do not like that you can't use spaces in the hashtags like you can with FUB, or delete a lead that's not going anywhere or is a telemarketer. Also, you cannot merge duplicate contacts. Or at least I couldn't, and I probably couldn't find the tutorial for it, so I have alot of duplicates. It's a LOT of info to learn and can be very overwhelming. We were using it for roughly two years and I did not have the time to sit and lean all of it. I pretty much gave up after a month or so and just used the basic funtions. Setting up the campaigns is not exactly fluid or easy as well. It's great that you can do it, but by the time you start, then do a tutorial, try to set it up, etc., you've already been interrupted by the phone or someone twenty times that by the time I have a chance to go back to it, I have to learn it all over again I spent the majority of my time on KVCORE trying to learn it, so I just stopped.
