AI-powered multi-MLS listing import with automatic deduplication saves staff data-entry time
Native QuickBooks Online sync auto-journals every commission disbursement without manual exports
Built-in conditional compliance checklist generation adapts based on property type, location, and age

No self-serve free trial; boutiques and small teams cannot evaluate it before committing to a demo

Trust/escrow accounting is limited compared to dedicated solutions like Emphasys Back Office for brokerages holding earnest money
