iHOUSEweb — Pros & Cons

Pros

Agent Pro plan at $149.98/mo is one of the lowest-priced IDX-plus-CRM bundles available
Built-in TurboLeads CRM eliminates the need for a separate CRM subscription
No long-term contracts — cancel with 30 days notice on any plan
30-year track record powering 20,000+ active agent sites for major brands

Cons

Template-based Flex Editor only — no truly bespoke custom-coded design option
Upfront setup fees required on all plans regardless of subscription tier
MLS board pass-through data fees in many markets add unpredictable cost on top of the monthly rate
Design templates look noticeably dated compared to modern competitors like Luxury Presence or AgentFire
