GoHighLevel vs Lofty for real estate agents

Lofty (formerly Chime) is built for real estate, with IDX property-search websites, lead management and real-estate workflows ready to go. GoHighLevel isn't real-estate-specific and has no built-in IDX, but it gives you full control of texting, AI answering, funnels and automation across any business. Agents who want property search on day one usually pick Lofty; agents who want custom follow-up and more than one business in one system pick GoHighLevel.
