Referral and service fees billed

Real estate invoicing software

Real estate invoicing software for the money that does not come through closing. Referral fees owed by other brokerages, transaction coordination, staging and listing photography you rebill are invoiced with a link to pay, while commissions still settle at the closing table.

Referral fees between brokerages

After a referred client closes, invoice the other brokerage for its share, enter the amount from the settlement statement, and let them pay by ACH from the link.

Invoicing

Transaction coordination fees

If you coordinate files for other agents, each listing-side or buyer-side file is a service with your fee, and the invoice goes to the agent when the file closes.

Services and pricing

Staging and photography rebilled

Photos, a drone shoot and a staging consult you paid for are logged on the listing, then billed to the seller when your agreement says they reimburse them.

Job expenses

Property management fees

Owners who pay a monthly management fee can subscribe to it in your client portal, while one-off leasing fees go out as invoices from the listing.

Questions agents ask about referral fee invoices

Is there invoicing software for real estate agents?

Yes, for fees outside closing, such as referrals, coordination, rebilled listing costs and management fees.

Can I invoice a referral fee?

Yes. Bill the other brokerage for the amount on the settlement statement, payable by ACH or card.

Does it pay out commissions?

No. Commissions are disbursed at closing by the title or escrow company.

Can I bill a seller for listing photos?

Yes, when your agreement allows it. Log the cost on the listing and bill it as a line.

Can it collect rent?

No. Use your property management system for tenants; Smarfle can bill owners their management fee.

Can another brokerage pay by bank?

Yes. With ACH enabled for that brokerage, Stripe's bank fee tops out at $5.

Can my agents see fee invoices?

Agents see their listings and clients; invoices and totals stay with the broker or office.

Can I hold earnest money?

No. Earnest money goes to the escrow holder named in the contract.
