Parallel run or don’t cut over
If you cannot close one real deal end-to-end on the new spine while the old system still works, you are not ready.
Switch when at least two of these are true for a full quarter:
If your only pain is e-sign UX and files/money already reconcile, fix the point tool—or wait. Read brokerage software buyer’s guide before you start a migration for vibes.
Write one page before you sign anything:
See it as one brokerage OS
Brokurz unifies CRM, transactions, commissions, recruiting, compliance, and branded sites under your brokerage—without stitching vendors together.
Export and freeze copies before cutover:
Independents often land in 4–8 weeks. Larger multi-office firms take longer—do not believe “2 weeks” without a pilot.
During parallel run, pick one system of record for new deals. Do not let agents invent a third spreadsheet. Require one clean close: contract → broker approval → CDA/payout → statement.

Day-of gates:
Job-shaped compare pages help set expectations: vs Dotloop, vs SkySlope, vs Brokermint, vs Follow Up Boss. Export docs and history early—vendor lock-in is usually process, not format.
Brokurz is a white-labeled OS path when you want CRM, transactions, commissions/CDAs, recruiting, and sites on one spine. Migration assistance and import scope should be confirmed for your data—not assumed from marketing copy. Start with the self-guided demo or talk to sales.
Reminder that closings continue during your IT project—protect the consumer path.

Often 4–8 weeks for an independent after a pilot; longer for multi-office or messy historical data. Treat “2 weeks” as a red flag unless scoped tightly.
Usually yes for contacts and many deal records; document vault completeness varies by vendor export. Keep archives that satisfy your retention rules even if they stay outside the new UI.
Yes for a pilot cohort. Endless dual-entry for the whole firm is how migrations fail—time-box parallel run and pick a system of record.
