Product Overview

QuickBooks Online isn't real-estate-specific, but it's the ledger nearly every real-estate-specific tool integrates with. For solo agents, the Simple Start tier ($35/mo) is enough to track income, expenses, and produce a Schedule C at tax time. Brokerages typically pair QBO with Brokermint, Loft47, or Emphasys for the commission/back-office layer QBO doesn't natively handle. The massive ecosystem of accountants, apps, and integrations is the real reason it's the default pick.
