Both can capture and nurture leads. The difference is what you own when you cancel — and what you have to sign to start.
I went from missing 30% of my follow-ups to never missing one. Close rate jumped in the first month.
Short answers. No fluff.
Yes. Many agents do exactly this for the first 60–90 days. Leave the IDX site running on Real Geeks and pipe leads into Jtek via webhook or Zapier. Then decide what to do with the site once you've seen Jtek work in production.
Real Geeks contracts are 6 or 12 months. Documented BBB cases show ~2-month buyout penalties on early cancellation. Plan the switch around your renewal date if cash is tight.
Partially — your domain authority moves with the domain, but the IDX-generated city and neighborhood pages that drive most Real Geeks SEO are theirs. If SEO is your primary lead source, move only the CRM and keep the site for now.
14 days free, cancel anytime. Test the full product — missed-call auto-text, IG/TikTok DM auto-reply, AI follow-ups, pipeline — before committing. Real Geeks doesn't offer a trial; you have to sign a contract to find out.
Why agents are leaving the contract-and-buyout trap for month-to-month, agent-owned CRMs.
Export your contacts, drop them into Jtek, keep your existing IDX site running. No migration tax, no per-seat math, no contract.
