In the fast-paced world of real estate, we are bombarded with technology every single day. Which CRM to use? What type of lead generation gives me the best ROI? Can I drive more leads through social media? There are literally thousands of real estate-related technologies.

In this BreakthroughBroker.com technology review, we want to share a tool that we know can have a big impact on your business. It confronts something that many agents don’t invest enough time or energy in, managing your tax liability and financial tracking as an independent contractor.

Remember, you are a business owner and you simply must manage your financials and limit your tax liability. There is no reasonable alternative. If you are not doing this efficiently and accurately, now is the time to change that! There’s no time like the present and here you are.

Realtyzam is a powerful, easy-to-use accounting software specifically designed for real estate agents. Here are some of the key features and use cases we thought were important to note.

Ease of use: We’ve all been there. If an application is confusing, there’s a low chance it’s going to stick as one of your go-to programs. On top of that, accounting in and of itself is a foreign topic for most. We found that Realtyzam was fairly painless and easy to implement and utilize on a daily basis. The Realtyzam U/I was clean, intuitive, and just made sense.

Satisfied customers: RealtyZam’s motto is, “Accounting that’s ridiculously fast and easy.” So, we set out to see what users were saying.

More than just taxes: Using a professional application like Realtyzam could save you thousands on taxes which is great; however, Realtyzam also precisely tracks your sales. Closely tracking sales and taking a hard look at expenses can help you take your business to the next level.

Key features: Realtyzam syncs with your bank account so you can assign expenses to specific transactions. Through the software, you can generate an end of year report for your CPA, saving you money on tax preparation and helping you get the maximum deductions. The software is cost-effective and you can take advantage of a free trial before committing.

Below are some screenshots of the application to give you a sense if the U/I and functionality.

I had the pleasure of meeting Steve Bjorkman, the founder of Realtyzam, and he is an all-around good guy. He cares about the service he provides and the clients who use it. That means something in this day and age.
