Let me be straight with you, because that’s how I’d want it: CINC is not a scam. It’s a mature all-in-one real estate platform — IDX websites, a deep CRM, team routing, the works. If what you want is a big team operating system, it might genuinely be your pick.
But here’s the thing. With CINC, the lead machine — the ad campaigns, the system, the database your leads live in — is theirs. You rent the output. Reviewers report pricing around $899/mo solo and $1,299/mo for teams before ad spend, and it’s not published anywhere — you find out on a sales call.
What we build is different: a Google Ads lead machine that runs in your accounts, in your name, sending calls to your phone. If you ever leave, you keep the whole thing. That one difference changes everything about the next five years of your business.

I’ve been doing this for 15 years, and I’ve watched the same movie hundreds of times. A business owner signs up with a big platform or agency. The leads come — great. Then the price goes up at renewal. Or the lead quality dips. Or they want to leave — and discover the ad account, the campaign history, the data, sometimes even the phone number… none of it is theirs. The day they stop paying, the phone stops ringing, and they start over from zero.
That’s not a CINC problem. That’s the model — and almost the entire industry runs on it, because dependency is a great retention strategy. It’s just a terrible deal for you.
So we flipped it. Everything we build — the Google Ads account, the campaigns, the landing page, the call tracking — gets built inside your accounts from day one. Our AI manages your bids daily, I personally oversee it, and you approve everything before it goes live. If we stop earning your business, you cancel — and you keep the machine. That’s not a policy buried in terms. That’s the whole point.

Honestly? Not feature-for-feature. CINC bundles a CRM, IDX websites, and team tools — we don’t do that. We do one thing deep: build and run a high-intent Google Ads lead machine that you own, with an AI account manager watching it daily. You can pair it with any CRM you like (or the one you already have). If you need the all-in-one platform more than you need owned lead flow, we’ll tell you that on the call.
CINC doesn’t publish pricing — you get it on a sales demo. Public reviews (agentadvice.com, July 2026) report around $899/month for solo agents and $1,299/month for teams before ad spend, with add-ons like CINC AI ($200/mo) and a dialer ($75/mo) extra. Our pricing is on this page: $699, $1,499, or $2,450 per month, month-to-month.
Export your database from CINC’s CRM before you cancel — check your agreement for how. Then here’s the difference going forward: everything we build lives in your accounts from day one, so there’s never another export day in your future. Your leads call your phone and land in your systems.
The machine is the same one we’ve run for 15 years across 500+ local service businesses: high-intent Google Search, one city, dedicated landing page, call tracking, daily AI bid management. It works for any local business that wins when someone searches and calls — and that includes agents. Run the free estimate below with your city, or book the 15-minute call and I’ll tell you honestly if your market fits.
