A listing starts long before the sign goes up. I walk the house with the sellers, pull comparable sales, and set a price we can defend, then line up the photographer, the pre-listing fixes and the staging. Showings mean confirming appointments, lockbox codes, and chasing feedback from buyer agents. On the buyer side I'm setting up searches, touring homes on evenings and weekends, and writing offers that stand out without overpaying: escalation clauses, inspection terms, closing dates that suit the seller. Once we're under contract the real work begins: inspection, repair negotiations, appraisal, the buyer's financing and a string of deadlines that can each sink the deal. I'm the one keeping the lender, the title company, the other agent and two nervous clients moving toward the same closing date. I'm only paid at closing, as a split of the commission with my brokerage, so a deal that falls apart in week five is a month of unpaid work. In between I'm prospecting: past clients, open houses and the sphere of people who send me referrals.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

Open on Reddit →We build a real estate agent's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a real estate agent — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
