All the power of kvCORE — without the complexity.
kvCORE (now BoldTrail) is packed with features — but teams often lose weeks to setup and never touch half of them. Lofty gives you the same all-in-one power with a modern, AI-first experience your agents will actually adopt.
The core difference
All the power, minus the complexity
Both are all-in-one — only one is built to actually get used.
Lofty
Powerful — and actually usable
- Modern, intuitive interface agents adopt fast
- Mobile-first — run your business from your phone
- Native AI Sales Assistant that works your leads
- Flexible websites built around your personal brand
- Live in days, not months
kvCORE / BoldTrail
Powerful — but heavy
- Steep learning curve and lengthy setup
- Feature-dense — much of it goes unused
- Automation-led, with limited native AI
- Enterprise-first; templated agent branding
- Adoption often stalls after onboarding

Robert Lucido Jr. — CSO, Lucido Global (#1 KW Team)

What's the difference between kvCORE and BoldTrail?
They're the same product line. In 2024, Inside Real Estate — the company behind kvCORE and BoomTown — unified its offerings under the BoldTrail brand. So a kvCORE evaluation today is effectively a BoldTrail evaluation; the platform lineage is the same, just renamed.
Is Lofty a good kvCORE / BoldTrail alternative?
Yes. Both are all-in-one platforms with CRM, IDX websites, and lead generation. Teams choose Lofty when they want that same breadth with a more modern, intuitive interface, a genuinely native AI assistant, stronger personal-brand customization, and faster agent adoption — without the steep learning curve kvCORE/BoldTrail is known for.
Is Lofty easier to use than kvCORE / BoldTrail?
That's the most common reason teams switch. Lofty was designed mobile-first with a clean, modern interface, and reviewers consistently rate it as more intuitive — which means agents actually adopt it and use the features you're paying for, rather than defaulting back to old habits after onboarding.
Can I migrate my kvCORE / BoldTrail data to Lofty?
Yes. Our onboarding team migrates your contacts, notes, and history, helps rebuild your lead routing and automations inside Lofty, and gets your agents trained and live quickly — typically without a gap in your follow-up.
How does pricing compare?
Both use quote-based pricing. Publicly reported figures put BoldTrail around $499/month for solo agents (rising for teams and brokerages), while Lofty's entry pricing is often reported around $449/month. Because plans are tailored, the most accurate comparison is a quote for your exact team size and needs — we're happy to put one together.
