Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about our real estate services invoice template.

What should a real estate services invoice include?

Your business name and contact details, the client, an invoice number and date, the property or job it covers, a line for each service with hours or quantity and rate, the total in USD, and how you would like to be paid.

Can I make an estimate for property services?

Yes. Start with the estimate template, list the services you expect to provide with their rates, and send it before the work. When the client agrees, open the same lines as an invoice so the price billed is the price quoted.

Can I add my business details?

Yes. Type your business name, address, license or brokerage line, email and phone into the document, and add your logo. Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to download, save or share it, and your draft stays in this browser.

Can I create a receipt?

Yes. After the client pays, make a receipt with the receipt maker or the receipt templates, showing the service, the amount paid, the date and the payment method, so both of you have a record.

What should a real estate invoice include?

The property address and MLS or file number, the agreement the fee comes from, and each charge with its basis: commission as a rate times the price, flat marketing or coordination fees, and any brokerage transaction fee. Add the closing date and escrow number when the invoice goes to a title company.

How much should I charge for a property marketing package?

It depends on what the package includes: professional photos, video or a virtual tour, floor plans, staging, print, signs and paid listing promotion, plus the size and price point of the property and your local market. The generator opens that line at $600 so the page is not empty; enter the price you agreed with the seller.

How do I invoice commission and marketing costs?

Commission goes on its own line as the rate applied to the sale price, with both figures shown. Marketing, photography and staging go on separate lines at their agreed amounts. If the agreement credits marketing against commission at closing, show the gross commission, the credit and the net figure rather than a single number, so the settlement statement and the invoice agree.

When is real estate commission paid?

On a sale, usually at closing out of the proceeds, and to the brokerage rather than the individual agent, who is then paid by the broker under their own agreement. Send the commission request to the title or escrow company before closing so the amount is on the settlement statement. Services that do not depend on a sale can be invoiced as an advance payment or on delivery.

What if a commission is not paid after closing?

Check the commission request reached the title or escrow company in time and matched the agreement, since a missed or mismatched request is a common cause. After that, your leverage is the written listing or buyer agreement, and the claim usually belongs to the broker, not the agent. Some states give brokers lien rights for commercial commissions, and many local associations offer arbitration, so talk to your broker first.

Is sales tax charged on real estate commissions?

In most states, real estate commissions are not subject to sales tax, but a few states with a broad tax on services or gross receipts do include them. Items such as signs, printing or staging furniture can be treated differently from your services. Put commission, services and goods on separate lines and check your state's rules.

How do I bill property management fees?

Monthly, per property, usually as a percentage of rent collected or a flat fee, with leasing, lease renewal and maintenance coordination fees on separate lines. Owners want to see rent collected, your fee and any repairs paid, so send an owner statement alongside. A recurring invoice keeps the monthly fee and service period advancing without retyping.

What to include in a real estate invoice

  • Property address and MLS number. The property address and MLS or listing number, so the title company or your broker can match the invoice to the right transaction file.
  • Commission rate and price. The agreed commission rate and the sale price it applies to, both shown beside the result, so the figure can be checked against the agreement.
  • Transaction fee. Any brokerage transaction or compliance fee on its own line, so it is visible to the client and does not look like part of the commission.
  • Closing date and escrow number. The expected or actual closing date, buyer and seller names, and the escrow or file number the title company uses to find the deal.
  • Marketing costs incurred. Photography, staging, signs, printing and paid listing promotion, each with its own amount, especially when they are credited against commission at closing.
  • Referral fee basis. For referrals, the referring and receiving brokerages, the client referred and the agreed percentage, since referral fees are paid broker to broker.
  • Brokerage and license numbers. Your brokerage name and the license numbers your state requires on business documents, because commission is paid through the broker.

Made for the way real estate agents work

  • The lines every listing has

    Marketing package, professional photography, showings and coordination, commission. Pick real estate and they are listed.

  • Property and listing reference

    Which property, which listing. It is what makes the invoice match the file when accounts check it.

  • Attach the marketing, get it agreed

    What the package included, next to the fee, is what stops a seller questioning the photography charge.

  • Paid at closing

    A payment link on the invoice, so the fee is settled as the sale closes rather than weeks after.

  • Managed portfolios, planned once

    Monthly management at the same figure per property. Plan the run once with the recurring invoice planner, then send each invoice on its date.

  • The agreement becomes the invoice

    What the seller signed in the listing agreement is what the invoice says at closing.
