Product Overview
Loft47 is the commission-management specialist for real estate brokerages that need more flexibility than Brokermint offers. Their rules engine handles complex split structures (tiers, caps, referrals, mentor splits) and pushes journal entries directly into QuickBooks Online. For brokerages where commission plans are idiosyncratic — or change frequently — Loft47's rule-based approach reduces the manual reconciliation tax. The tradeoff: more configuration up front, and you'll still need QBO for the full ledger.
