Real Estate Accounting Software

What is Real Estate Accounting Software?

With accounting software for real estate, it’s easy to securely share key business information with stakeholders and owners wanting information about their investments. In addition to a robust set of features and functionality, real estate accounting software also helps you monitor the progress of ongoing development projects and property maintenance. Financial information can be grouped by property, development, or unit.

Real Estate-specific Functionality

In addition to core accounting capabilities, real estate accounting software typically includes the following:

Communication & Contract Tools Templates that automatically generate contracts and communications with buyers, sellers, other agents, investors, banks, brokers, title companies, and more.
Monitor Real Estate Keeps tabs on the progress of housing and commercial real estate developments, as well as individual houses.
Mobile Access Ensures that you can access real estate accounting software from anywhere.
Commission Calculation Helps you easily and automatically calculate agent commissions and fees.
Work Order Management Uses your software to monitor the status of repairs and upgrades. Also tracks time and costs accordingly.

Evaluating Real Estate Accounting Software

Real estate accounting software can streamline many of the essential day-to-day real estate tasks, freeing up extra time for more strategic work. The software can automatically send email notifications to agents, calculate commissions, and generate listing forms and welcome letters. Well-organized software can also record and sort all transaction information for a given contract.

When evaluating real estate accounting software, buyers should consider the following:

  • Does the software need to be able to support several different agent pay rates?
  • Does the user need software that can handle a high variety of properties?
  • Should the software include online communication tools?
  • Does the user handle many different transactions on a regular basis?
