The real difference

Two very different value propositions

Market Leader sells you leads bundled with a CRM. Jtek sells you a CRM at $60/mo — your sphere, your social, your traffic.

Jtek: built around an agent's day
From missed call to signed contract
  • Missed call at 11:42 while you're showing a home — text sent, lead tagged, reminder set. Automatic.
  • New IG save on your listing — auto-DM goes out asking if they want the open house address.
  • Pre-built pipelines and automations — start working in minutes, not after a week of configuration.
  • Flat $60/mo. No bundled-lead markup. Bring your own traffic, keep your own margin.
  • AI assistant drafts follow-ups, summarizes calls, and suggests next steps — not a separate add-on.
Market Leader: built around bundled paid leads
Pay-for-leads + CRM + marketing site
  • Bundled monthly volume of guaranteed exclusive paid leads.
  • CRM, marketing website, email engine — packaged with the lead-gen.
  • Pricing varies by lead volume — typically $139+/mo at minimum, scaling well past $300/mo.
  • No native social DM auto-reply or missed-call auto-text.
  • AI features are limited compared to modern CRMs.

I went from missing 30% of my follow-ups to never missing one. Close rate jumped in the first month.

FAQ

What real estate agents ask us

Short answers. No fluff.

Why would I pay $60/mo when Market Leader gives me leads?

Two different math problems. Market Leader is a lead source bundled with a CRM. Jtek is a CRM that helps you convert the leads you already get from your sphere, social, sign calls, and referrals. Most agents close more from owned channels than purchased ones — and the $60/mo flat means you keep more margin per close.

Does Jtek do paid lead-gen like Market Leader?

Jtek does not include IDX (intentional — bring your existing IDX site and pipe leads in via webhook). Jtek does include landing pages and forms. Buying leads is a separate decision. If you want both, you can run paid Facebook/Google ads to a Jtek landing page and keep all the lead value yourself.

Can I migrate from Market Leader to Jtek?

Yes. Most agents are fully set up in under an hour. Export your Market Leader contacts as CSV, import into Jtek, pick a pre-built pipeline template. You can have Jtek live before your next Market Leader invoice.

What about a free trial?

14 days free, cancel anytime. You can test the full product — including missed-call auto-reply, pipeline, AI assistant, and social integrations — before committing. Market Leader is demo-gated with no public free trial.
