Build your stack on a budget

You don't need ten subscriptions. Most agents need a CRM, a design tool, an AI assistant and e-signature, and some of those may come free from your brokerage.

Step by step

1. Inventory freebies

   List what your brokerage and association provide (CRM, transaction management, e-signature).

2. Add a CRM

   Wise Agent at $49/mo or IXACT Contact at $46.75/mo billed annually.

3. Add design

   Canva Pro is US$144/yr (about $12/mo), and the free plan works to start.

4. Add AI

   Start free; upgrade to ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro ($20/mo) when you're using it daily.

5. Review in 90 days

   Cancel anything you haven't opened in a month.

Here's everything on my plate: [BRAIN DUMP]. My fixed appointments: [CALENDAR]. Build a realistic week: top 3 priorities, what to do each day (morning/afternoon), what to delegate or drop, and a 15-minute daily lead follow-up block. Be honest if it doesn't all fit.

• See our solo-agent stack for an itemized estimate.
