Real Estate Software in Australia: What Actually Fits Your Agency

The list

1. 1. PropertyMe

   Cloud property management software with trust accounting for rent rolls.

   Best for: Agencies that need to run compliant trust accounting and day-to-day property management.

   Watch: Pricing isn't published on the site, so you need to ask for a quote.

2. 2. Reapit

   A group of real estate systems covering sales, property management, applications and connections.

   Best for: Agencies wanting one vendor across sales and property management.

   Watch: The group covers several rebranded products now, so it can be hard to tell from the site which one you'd actually be buying.

3. 3. MRI Software

   Property management software for residential and commercial portfolios, plus a residential CRM.

   Best for: Larger portfolios and agencies with commercial property alongside residential.

   Watch: The global site is broad and enterprise-focused, so the residential-agency parts can be harder to find.

4. 4. Rex Software

   A system covering sales, rentals, property management and marketing for an agency.

   Best for: Agencies that want sales, rentals and marketing under one vendor.

   Watch: Marketing features are pitched as part of the same system, so check what's actually included versus what needs a separate tool.

5. 5. Console (Reapit PM)

   Property management and trust accounting software, now part of Reapit.

   Best for: Property management departments wanting an established trust accounting system.

   Watch: Now part of Reapit, so support and updates may shift toward the wider Reapit product line over time.

6. 6. Reapit Sales (Agentbox)

   A sales CRM for pipeline, listings and reporting, formerly branded Agentbox.

   Best for: Sales teams wanting a dedicated CRM with reporting for the sales side of the business.

   Watch: Rebranded from Agentbox to Reapit Sales, so older reviews and comparisons under the old name may not reflect the current product.

7. 7. Eagle Software

   A real estate listing and contact management package bundled with a website.

   Best for: Smaller agencies wanting a CRM and website from one vendor.

   Watch: Not stated on their site.

8. 8. YourPropertyPilot

   A marketing tool that turns a new listing into ads, a landing page, a video and social posts once an agent sets a budget, then answers enquiries by phone and text at any hour.

   Best for: Agencies with a CRM already in place that want every listing marketed properly without briefing a designer, and enquiries answered outside business hours.

   Watch: It needs an existing CRM, and for property management work an existing rent roll system, to write results back into. It doesn't replace either.

Where YourPropertyPilot fits

YourPropertyPilot fits agencies that already run a CRM and, for property management, a rent roll system, but lose time briefing marketing for every listing or lose enquiries after hours. It is not a replacement for PropertyMe, Console, Rex or Reapit Sales, and a solo agent with only a handful of listings a month may not need a separate marketing tool at all.

What "real estate software" actually covers

"Real estate software" is not one category, even though a lot of the results for that search sit on the same page. Some of what ranks is property management software: trust accounting, rent, arrears, inspections. Some of it is a sales CRM: pipeline, appraisals, listings, reporting. And some of it is a marketing tool for turning a listing into ads and enquiries.

There are also comparison sites mixed in, like Capterra's directory and Rigel Tech's list, which review other people's products rather than building their own. Worth knowing before you click through expecting a vendor.

Before comparing anything, work out which job you actually need done. Most agencies with a working CRM and rent roll aren't short on record-keeping. They're short on time spent briefing a campaign for every listing, or enquiries that sit unanswered overnight.

Property management and trust accounting

PropertyMe and Console are built around the rent roll: trust accounting, arrears, inspections and compliance for a property management department. Console now trades as Reapit PM, after Reapit bought it. MRI Software covers similar ground, especially for larger portfolios and commercial property, and runs a separate residential CRM alongside its property management tools.

These systems are the backbone of a property management business. None of them are built to produce marketing for a new sales listing, and none claim to. That's a different job.

Sales CRMs for prospecting and listings

Rex Software and Reapit Sales, formerly Agentbox, are sales-side CRMs: pipeline, appraisals, listings and reporting for a sales team. Reapit now owns both the sales side, Agentbox rebranded as Reapit Sales, and the property management side, Console rebranded as Reapit PM, so an agency can end up talking to the same company twice without realising it.

Eagle Software covers similar ground for smaller agencies, pairing a CRM with a basic website.

A CRM records what an agent does: who they called, what was listed, when the appraisal happened. It does not write the ad copy, build a landing page for the listing, or answer the phone after hours. Agencies often run one of these next to a separate marketing tool, not instead of one.

Marketing and enquiry-handling tools

This is a newer category, separate from the CRM and rent roll software above. It picks up after a listing goes live: turning it into ads, a landing page, social posts, and a video made from the listing photos, then handling the enquiries that come in.

YourPropertyPilot sits here. An agent lists a property and sets a budget. The system produces the campaign across channels from that one action, adjusts spend based on how buyers respond, and answers enquiries by phone and text at any hour, writing the result back into the agency's CRM.

It is not a CRM or a trust accounting system. It needs one of those already in place to write results back into.

How to choose

If you don't have a rent roll system, start with PropertyMe or Console. If you don't have a sales CRM, look at Rex or Reapit Sales. If you have both and the gap is marketing every listing properly and answering enquiries fast, that's a different problem, and it's the one YourPropertyPilot is built for.

Get a demo or trial before buying. None of the products above publish enough pricing or performance detail on their public sites to compare like for like, so ask each vendor directly what a listing, an enquiry, or a rent roll of your size actually costs.

Questions agents ask

What is the best real estate software in Australia?

There isn't one best product because the category covers different jobs. PropertyMe and Console handle property management and trust accounting. Rex and Reapit Sales handle sales CRM work. YourPropertyPilot handles marketing and enquiry follow-up for a listing. Pick based on which of those jobs you're missing, not on a single ranked list.

Is real estate CRM software the same as marketing software?

No. A CRM like Rex or Reapit Sales records prospects, listings and appraisals. It doesn't write ad copy, build a landing page, or follow up an enquiry that comes in at midnight. Marketing tools like YourPropertyPilot do that separate job, usually by connecting into the CRM you already use.

How much does real estate software cost in Australia?

Most of the products on this page don't publish pricing, including PropertyMe, Reapit, Rex and Console. Costs usually depend on the size of your rent roll or sales team, and whether you're paying per listing, per user, or a flat monthly fee. Ask each vendor directly for a quote based on your agency's size.

Do I need a separate marketing tool if I already have a CRM?

Only if the gap is marketing itself. A CRM keeps records; it doesn't produce a campaign for each new listing or answer enquiries outside business hours. If your agents are already briefing designers or missing after-hours enquiries, a marketing tool like YourPropertyPilot fills a gap the CRM was never built for.
