Mileage tracker for real-estate agents
A showing, a listing appointment, a lockbox swap, a closing. Real-estate days are a string of short drives, and each one is a mileage entry you will not remember in April. SimpliExpense logs them while you work.
The mileage problem for agents
- Many short trips a day, to properties spread across a market.
- Trips to the brokerage, the title company and open houses, mixed in with personal errands.
- A purpose for every trip is easy to forget by the end of the week, and nearly impossible to recall at tax time.
If you are an independent agent, your business miles may be deductible. How the IRS treats trips from home, and whether a home office counts as your regular workplace, depends on your situation, so ask your tax professional. See the IRS mileage log requirements for what to record.
How SimpliExpense fits an agent's day
Drives log themselves
Each drive is detected in the background. Leave the showing, and the trip is already there.
Swipe or let rules sort
Swipe a drive to Business or Personal. Set your home and office once and the commute rule marks those drives Personal; work-hours and local-errand rules handle more.
A purpose on every trip
Business items need a purpose before they can go into a report, so "buyer showing" or "listing appointment" is written while you remember it.
Trips for a client or season
Group drives and expenses into a named trip over a date range and watch the totals roll up.
Receipts for the business side
Scan a receipt for signs, supplies or fees. It is read on your phone and never uploaded.
A report your accountant can check
The PDF includes date, miles, purpose and places. Map links let a reviewer verify trips, and there is a QuickBooks CSV too.
