Why real estate team software matters
Real estate teams are different from brokerages. You're a team leader—you have agents, transaction coordinators, maybe an admin. You need software that handles your team's unique workflows: shared leads, commission splits, transaction tracking, and compliance—without replacing your brokerage's systems. The right real estate team management software gives you:
- Commission split software: Leader splits, member splits, caps, referral fees—auto-calculated when deals close
- Lead routing software: Round robin, AI-powered assignment, or manual—one shared pipeline
- Team CRM: One place for leads, deals, and activity—no more spreadsheets
- Transaction management: Purchase agreements, addenda, document upload—built for residential
- Compliance: Broker on record, license tracking—you run the team, they stay licensed
If you're at Keller Williams, eXp, RE/MAX, or any other brokerage, your team software should work alongside your brokerage—not replace it. Brokurz is designed for exactly that.
Commission split software for real estate teams
Commission splits are one of the biggest pain points for team leaders. Manual spreadsheets lead to errors, disputes, and wasted time. The best commission split software for real estate teams lets you:
Configure split structures
Set team leader splits, member splits, caps (e.g., 50/50 until $X, then 70/30), and referral splits. Configure once—the software auto-calculates on every closing. No more hand-calculating or chasing down numbers at settlement.
Handle title pays vs broker pays
Some teams have title cut checks to each party; others have the broker distribute. Good real estate team software supports both. You define the flow; the software tracks who gets what.
Track payouts and history
See commission history per agent, per deal, per period. Export for accounting. When an agent asks "What did I make last month?"—you have the answer in seconds.
Brokurz handles all of this. Configure splits, caps, and referral fees. Commission is auto-calculated when deals close. See how it works.
One more consideration: when do splits get calculated? The best tools calculate at closing—when the deal is marked closed and settlement data is entered. That way, you're not guessing or recalculating if a deal falls through. Look for software that ties commission directly to the transaction lifecycle.
Lead routing and distribution software
Leads come from Zillow, Realtor.com, your website, open houses, referrals. Without lead routing software for real estate teams, you're manually assigning leads—or worse, they sit in a shared inbox and go cold.
Round robin vs AI-powered routing
Round robin distributes leads evenly: Agent A, then B, then C, repeat. Simple and fair. AI-powered routing considers agent specialty, geography, availability, and past performance. Both work—choose based on your team size and complexity.
Lead assignment rules
Route by source (Zillow vs referral), geography (zip code, city), or agent capacity. Some teams want hot leads to top performers; others want even distribution. Your software should support the rules you need.
Shared pipeline visibility
Team leaders need to see the whole pipeline—who has what, where deals are, who's falling behind. A shared lead pool with clear assignment and status keeps everyone accountable.
Brokurz offers round robin and AI-powered lead routing. One shared pipeline. Activity tracking. Never lose a lead again.
Response time matters. Studies show that leads contacted within five minutes convert at significantly higher rates than those contacted later. Lead routing software for real estate teams that integrates with your lead sources (Zillow, Realtor.com, your website) can auto-assign and notify agents instantly—so someone is on the phone within minutes, not hours.
CRM and pipeline features
Your real estate team CRM is the backbone of your operation. It should handle:
- Shared pipeline: All leads and deals in one place—filter by agent, stage, source
- Activity tracking: Calls, emails, showings—logged and visible
- Task and reminder automation: Follow-up reminders, drip sequences—reduce manual follow-up
- Document storage: Contracts, addenda, disclosures—per deal, per lead
Many teams use a generic CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce) and bolt on real estate features. That works—but it's often overkill and under-specialized. Real estate team software built for the industry includes transaction stages, document types, and commission linkage out of the box.

Common mistakes when choosing team software
1. Overbuying enterprise tools
Enterprise CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot) are powerful—but they're built for sales orgs, not real estate teams. You'll spend months customizing. Instead, choose real estate team software built for the industry.
2. Ignoring commission split complexity
If your splits are simple (e.g., 50/50 always), a spreadsheet might work. But most teams have caps, referral splits, TC payouts. Make sure your software handles your actual split structure—not a simplified version.
3. Assuming brokerage conflict
Some team leaders assume they can't use third-party software because of brokerage rules. In practice, most brokerages are fine with teams using their own CRM and tools—as long as the broker stays on record. Brokurz is designed for this model.
