CMA, Lead generation, etc is what it's for. I don't use it anymore than I need to. Fortunately I'm not required to to use it. But it's provided by my brokerage. I wish it was user friendly. I pay to use it as part of my monthly desk dues. I get my leads out of kvCORE & take those elsewhere.
  • Not one thing!
  • It sends unwanted canned responses to potential clients that you haven't approved. You must figure out how to use it to make them stop. This was day 1.
  • If you like to learn using many many different videos to learn a product, then this maybe for you.
  • As costly as I'm told kvCOREis for our brokerage, perhaps a training done done by a real live kvCORE trainer would be an excellent start.
  • Having kvCORE up where the different components can be used separately. It very all-or-nothing now.
  • Make it more user friendly.
I can't name one thing I like about using kvCORE. It has so many moving parts. This was what was offered by my brokerage & the training is all via long online prerecorded training sessions. I gave them many hours before I decided it would be more advantageous to take my leads & not use any part of kvCORE.
  • I don't know. I don't use it anymore.
  • Negative in that I pay for kvCORE but will not use it
  • Negative in the way kvCORE may get set up so before you learn to stop it it can send out canned responses to clients that confuse them. For example, kvCOREwould send all potintal clients an email that assumed I had met the client and said client was an investor. The caused several loss clients & many apologies from me.
  • Negative in training... Not everyone enjoys hours & hours in prerecorded trainings. The train classes turn into your JOB, instead of actually handling real & important clients.
I didn't chose kvCORE. It's the only type system my brokerage has used since I joined. My brokerage is fabulous & I will not let KV Core be the reason I go elsewhere. I wish I could tell you how it compares to others similar systems. All O know is my own sad way to isn't good but at least it doesn't require hours & hours of instructional videos. I need to be working not learning kvCORE.
These support folks can help only by directing you to the hours & hours of trainings you can take to become a better user. Everything thing you want to learn has to be done in long training modules.
I have no idea. I wasn't a part of the decision making. I don't think that has been offered. I have certainly discussed my concerns with brokerage but that particular option hasn't been mentioned.
No
I would love to be able to give an example, however that's the basis for my review. All INSIDE REAL ESTATE (KV Core) can do is suggest the many many learning modules where you can get the answers if you have time to devote to their software.
If kvcore wasn't the absolute worst with usability across the board I wouldn't have written this review. I have never used anything this costly that couldn't be simply learned by using it.

  • Setting up my profile
  • Getting those annoying text bulbs started is very easy
  • Getting someone on the phone, also easy... But be ready to take notes learning modules you'll need to take & master. You'll need to learn how to do the simplest things with a module or a YouTube video.
  • You'll need to send KVCORE your customer list to get your CMA list entered... They recommend this
  • Changing the canned responses that go out even if you haven't set them up to go out.. be prepared for verbiage you didn't select. You can fix this after you complete a learning module.

kvCore is being used by every EXP realty agent. Each agent has its own agent system with its own website and CRM. Every agent now has an automatic follow up system and a website for lead generation.
  • Call capture with a smart number.
  • CMA builder.
  • Data base management: AI drip systems, DIY email programs, and 36 touch.
  • Past client follow up.
Generating new leads and listing advertisements with easy FB adds/boosts, new leads, and listing advertisements with a quick auto post from craigslist. Mass text to buyers with a new listing. A quick text or email back to the buyer from the activity page. I really like being able to tell if they did their property search from their phone or from a computer. If they search from their phone then I send them a quick text. If they search from an email then I email them a quick note.
  • Because I am an EXP agent, I receive kvCore for $50/month so I have a $1550/month positive over any non-EXP agent.
  • Great new lead follow up with automatic and realistic contact for a higher conversion rate that I couldn't do by myself.
kvCore is much better than Top Producer because it is automated. If you do not have an assistant then Top Producer is basically useless. It gives a lot of todos, it doesn't just do it. kvCore is just easier to use and much more intuitive than CINC. It has things built in that you have to set up in CINC. But CINC is good maybe because I used KV first and just didn't want to learn another. Google works well with my phone but so does kvCore especially for txt. I also like the autodialer. It is ok, not great, but way better than nothing. Premier Agent is just Zillow and I transfer everything out of there easily. It does have some follow up features but KV is way better more in sync, intuitive, reacts to buyer searches, and sends auto txt and stuff. For a market leader, kvCore does a better job with AI and reactions to buyers searching habits where ML just has a one set search and does not change unless you physically change it. Where KvCore adjusts to the homes a buyer looks at. KV also sets up a search alert automatically based on what they looked at already. I like the monthly market report in KV better then ML for an exact address but the city or zip code monthly market report is not the best on either... You should be able to do a city, zip code, or neighborhood market report. Just click the neighborhoods you want on a map and that should be it. That searchability should also be on the activity report. I think neighborhood search is the up and coming demand for all buyer searches. Buyers could choose to live and buy a home in 3 different towns but there may only be 2 or 3 neighborhoods they would live in. Or 1 in this town, 3 in this town, and 2 in this town. We should be able to send that info.
I like the chat and I like the webinars—especially the recorded webinars, but I don't like how hard it is to talk to a real person.
Yes
Market Leader and CINC
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
All EXP agents get kvCore for $50/mth. I canceled Market leader which i was paying 100/mth. As an EXP agent we got to choose between CINC and KV. I choose KV because of the features and the usability and ease of set up and the AI and templates already in place...
I wouldn't. I may have keep Market Leader for the automatic post card mail outs. That is the only drawback in kvCore.
Yes
I had KV before kvCore so there were always growing pains because of the updates probably daily. But that is why its better than anything else out there because they care to never be complacient and are always trying to improve and update...
I have had great support from inside real estate. I had a smooth transition form my old Office smart number to my new personal smart number and they did weekly call to help me set up the Text to number for leads. AWESOME...They also did the same thing with my transition from office website to my own branded url...Thank you so much for your help.
