The story

Founded 2007 in Mammoth Lakes, CA as a real estate IDX website builder, Sierra Interactive evolved into an all-in-one platform pairing IDX websites with a CRM, marketing automation, dialer, and PPC ad management for real estate teams and brokerages. In 2017 it shifted to a SaaS model with a templated Pro website and backend CRM, and in 2022 was acquired by Alpine Software Group (Alpine Investors' vertical SaaS roll-up), positioning it to invest more heavily in AI-driven lead engagement and AI-search visibility for real estate agents.
