Common real estate business expenses

As a commission-based agent you pay your own business costs, and they come out of what you keep from every closing. Typical examples include:

MLS fees — monthly or quarterly access to listing data.
Association dues — local, state and national Realtor association membership.
Advertising and marketing — signs, online ads, photography, print and social promotion.
Software — CRM, e-signature, showing and transaction tools.
Vehicle costs — fuel, maintenance and mileage driving to showings.
Brokerage fees — desk, technology or monthly fees charged by your brokerage.
E&O insurance — errors and omissions coverage.

Why tracking expenses matters

Gross commission isn't take-home pay. After your brokerage split and fees, business expenses are the next big cut. Knowing your monthly total helps you set realistic income goals, price your time and plan for slow months. See the full picture in how much agents actually take home, or plug your yearly total into the Realtor income calculator.
