Why This Matters for Real Estate Agents

You have three showings today, an open house Sunday, and two new leads from Zillow that need follow-up within 5 minutes or they go cold. You're driving between properties, updating your CRM from the car, and trying to remember which buyer wants what. Your commission on the last deal was $8,500 but your software stack costs $200/month — Follow Up Boss, QuickBooks, Calendly, and a transaction coordinator tool. That's $2,400/year before you sell a single house.

Real Estate Agents face unique challenges: CRM costs — Follow Up Boss is $69/month per user, kvCORE is $499-$1,800/month. Managing leads from Zillow, Realtor.com, social media, and referrals in one place. Transaction management locked in 12-month Dotloop contracts with no escape. Tracking irregular commission income against fixed monthly software costs. BoomTown platform stagnating while parent company pushes migration to newer products. Paying enterprise brokerage prices for solo agent needs. On top of all that, QuickBooks charges $55/month ($660/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median real estate agent earns $50,000/year. Software at $660/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Lockbox and key access system is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

FAQ

Is Helix really a QuickBooks replacement for real estate agents?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Helix includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. QuickBooks may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. QuickBooks is $55/month — that's $2,214 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Helix is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Helix is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Helix doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I import my QuickBooks data?

Export your data from QuickBooks as CSV, import into Helix in about 5 minutes.
