Real Estate Agency Software Pricing (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

An off-the-shelf real estate platform (Apimo, Hektor, Netty) costs 50 to 150 EUR per agent per month in 2026, a cost that scales fast with network size. Custom development means an upfront investment of 40,000 to 80,000 EUR excl. tax, but removes the per-agent subscription and makes you the owner of the tool. The switching point typically sits around 8 to 12 agents, or as soon as a multi-branch network wants to pool listings, prospecting and reporting.

What an agency tool actually manages

An agency director expects a tool to centralize four flows: mandates (exclusive, open, with deadlines and follow-ups), the property stock, buyer/seller contacts, and multi-portal syndication. The core value is automatic buyer/property matching: the moment a mandate is entered, the tool notifies buyers whose criteria match. Add to that electronic mandate signing, a CRM with call history, and syndication analytics.

The break-even calculation

The logic is simple: compare the cumulative subscription cost over 3 years to an amortized custom build. At 100 EUR/agent/month, a 10-agent agency spends 12,000 EUR/year, i.e. 36,000 EUR over 3 years, while never owning anything. A 3-branch network (24 agents) reaches 86,400 EUR over 3 years.

Custom becomes competitive at roughly 24 agents, and clearly wins beyond that — not counting the value of a tool built for your processes (2026 order of magnitude, adjust for negotiated maintenance).

Mini case study

Laurent, director of a 3-branch network in Bordeaux (22 agents), pays 110 EUR/agent/month, i.e. 29,040 EUR/year. Over 3 years that is 87,120 EUR of pure subscription. Kolonell quotes a custom base at 65,000 EUR excl. tax + 8,000 EUR/year maintenance, i.e. 89,000 EUR over 3 years — nearly identical the first time, then 8,000 EUR/year versus 29,040 EUR afterwards. From year 4, Laurent saves over 21,000 EUR per year and owns a tool that automates his prospecting and network reporting.

FAQ

Isn't an off-the-shelf tool enough to start? Yes, for a 1-to-6-agent agency the subscription (50-150 EUR/agent) remains the most rational choice: fast rollout, controlled cost. Custom is justified above a certain volume or for specific needs.

Is multi-portal syndication really automatic? Yes: a connector pushes your listings to SeLoger, LeBonCoin, Bien'ici via standardized feeds. With custom, you add niche portals and fine-grained per-channel performance tracking.

How long to build a custom tool? Expect 3 to 6 months in 2026 for a full base (mandates, properties, CRM, syndication, signing). Phased delivery lets you use the first modules within 8 to 10 weeks.

Is electronic mandate signing legal? Yes, qualified electronic signature has full legal value in France (eIDAS regulation). It cuts mandate signing time from several days to a few minutes.

Can we migrate data from our current software? Yes, importing mandates, properties and contacts is planned in the spec. Budget 5 to 10% for data migration and cleanup.
