What happened

A 10-year-old CRM, sunset overnight

LionDesk was acquired by Lone Wolf Technologies in 2021. After four years inside the parent org, the product was sunset. Here's the timeline real estate agents lived through:

2014
LionDesk launches as an indie real estate CRM
Built around text + video messaging at a time when most real estate CRMs were email-only. Quickly picks up the affordable-yet-modern slot in the market.
2018
LionBot AI shipped
An AI text-based lead qualifier — early entrant in the AI follow-up space and one of the product's signature features.
2021
Acquired by Lone Wolf Technologies
Lone Wolf, a transaction-management consolidator, takes ownership. Product roadmap slows. Customer support reorganized.
2024
Reduced investment, stagnant updates
Feature releases drop to a trickle. Existing users start asking what the long-term plan is. No public answer.
September 2025
Product sunset announced
Lone Wolf announces LionDesk will be sunset. Existing customers get a migration window. New signups closed. The lights go off.
Migration playbook

Three steps. One hour. Done.

No multi-week migration project. The data export and re-platform is genuinely fast if you do it in this order.

1

Export your data from LionDesk

Log in (if you still can), pull your full contacts CSV, plus any tags, custom fields, and notes. Save the export locally. If your account is already locked, contact Lone Wolf support — they typically issue final exports on request.

~10 minutes
2

Pick a flat-rate replacement

Skip the per-user enterprise platforms — most former LionDesk users want the same affordable, modern feel. Look for: flat pricing, built-in calling + SMS, social DM auto-reply, AI follow-up, real-estate-native pipelines.

~15 minutes
3

Import and rebuild your top sequences

Upload the CSV. Map your custom fields. Pick a pre-built pipeline template. Rebuild your top 2–3 drip sequences in the new tool. Send a "we've moved" text to your sphere. You're live.

~30 minutes

Common questions from migrating agents

Is LionDesk really shut down?

Yes. Lone Wolf Technologies sunset LionDesk in September 2025. The product no longer accepts new accounts and existing customers were given migration windows.

Can I still export my LionDesk data?

Depends on when you read this. If you still have access to your LionDesk dashboard, export contacts and any custom-field data as CSV today. If your account is already locked, contact Lone Wolf support — they may be able to provide a final data export.

How long does the migration take?

Most agents are fully set up in under an hour. Import your contact CSV, connect your phone number and email, pick a pre-built pipeline template. You can be sending follow-ups by tomorrow morning.

What about my LionDesk drip campaigns and templates?

You'll rebuild them — but the upside is most agents simplify their drip during migration. We've found agents typically run 60% fewer sequences post-migration with better conversion.

Is Jtek really $60/mo flat or are there add-ons?

$60/mo flat for the whole platform — CRM, pipeline, calling, SMS, drip sequences, AI assistant, websites, social DM auto-reply, missed-call auto-text. The only variable cost is your text message and call usage at standard provider rates (a few cents per message), which is the same with any CRM.
