Where Left Main is the better fit
Left Main REI is a CRM and growth operating system for real estate investment teams that have outgrown their tools. Built natively on Salesforce by real estate operators, it is one system to find, run, and close every deal, so teams move faster, win more, and see exactly what’s working.
- The whole deal cycle, not just the list. Lead management and speed to lead, acquisitions, dispositions, transaction management, and a branded buyer marketplace, the LMX Investor Portal, all in one system.
- Signals on the leads you already have. DealSignals monitors up to 100,000 property records a month for 12 stress indicators on the leads already in your database. It flags and alerts you when a seller’s situation changes, and delivers newly distressed properties in your market as net-new prospects.
- Know which leads you lost. Property Sales AI shows which of your leads sold, and to whom, and closes them out automatically.
- See your whole business clearly. Ready-made dashboards for every department (Leadership/L10, Marketing, Lead Management, Acquisitions, Dispositions and Transactions) with industry-standard reference ranges.
- Built to grow with you. The sky is the limit on customization and integrations as your business evolves or initiatives change.
- Your AI, on your data. The Left Main connector for Claude, included in every plan, lets you ask plain-English questions about your leads, deals and dashboards (see Left Main + Claude).
Left Main vs. REISift: what does each one really cost?
DataSift’s plans run $149–$1,250 a month, with lower yearly prices, and skip tracing is billed per record on the two lower plans or unlimited on the two higher ones (DataSift pricing).
Left Main plans are annual contracts, billed monthly:
- Starter: $500 a month for 5 users, plus a one-time $3,000 implementation fee.
- Launch: $1,200 a month, implementation included, with Property Sales AI and your choice of DealSignals or DispoSignals.
- Enterprise: $2,000 a month for 10 users, premium implementation included, with DealSignals, DispoSignals, Property Sales AI and the LMX Investor Portal.
The fair comparison depends on what you’d still need to buy. A data platform gives you lists and outreach. Running the business on it still means adding dispositions, transaction tracking, buyer management and department reporting somewhere else. Left Main includes those, and DealSignals covers much of the seller-signal data teams buy lists for.
