Bookkeeping for realtors and real estate agents in the Rio Grande Valley means tracking commission income that swings wildly month to month, categorizing mileage and marketing spend correctly, and keeping Schedule C-ready books so 1099 season never turns into a scramble.
Real estate income in the Valley doesn't arrive on a predictable schedule. A closing in March might be followed by six weeks with nothing on the books, and when the commission check finally lands it often has referral fees, brokerage splits, and closing costs already netted out — which makes it easy to record the wrong number and misstate what was actually earned.
Add in the expenses that come with running a mobile, client-facing business — mileage between showings, MLS and association dues, staging costs, closing gifts, Facebook and Zillow ad spend — and most agents end up with a shoebox of receipts instead of a system. Without consistent categorization, deductible expenses get missed, and by the time 1099s and Schedule C are due every January, there are months of catch-up work standing between an agent and an accurate tax return.
Here's how we take realtor bookkeeping off your plate:
We record every commission by closing, matching deposits to the gross commission statement so splits, referral fees, and brokerage deductions are never lost in a lump-sum deposit.
Mileage, MLS dues, staging, signage, and ad spend on platforms like Zillow and Facebook get categorized consistently every month, not reconstructed once a year.
Monthly reconciliation keeps your books audit-ready and Schedule C-ready, so handing off to your tax preparer in January takes minutes, not weeks.
A plain-English monthly summary shows exactly what you earned after splits and expenses — real profit, not just gross commission volume.
Real estate activity is concentrated in the Valley's fastest-growing residential markets — from new subdivisions west of McAllen to citrus-country growth around Mission. We work with realtors and agents throughout the region, including in these cities:
Yes. Most realtors in the Rio Grande Valley are 1099 independent contractors, and we build your books around Schedule C from day one — categorizing commission income and deductible expenses so your tax preparer has clean, accurate numbers every filing season.
We match every deposit to your brokerage's commission statement so splits, referral fees, and transaction fees are recorded separately instead of buried inside one lump deposit — giving you an accurate picture of what you actually kept from each closing.
We start with a bookkeeping cleanup — reconciling every account, fixing miscategorized transactions, and rebuilding a full year (or more) of records — before moving you onto monthly bookkeeping, so nothing is missing when tax season arrives.
