Can the tool track locator commissions and referral fees?

Locating and referral fees are a business I am in: a Texas apartment locating brokerage is one of the companies I co-own, and its commission ledger and lease-end tracker are the tools described here.

Will a custom tool work alongside the transaction software we already pay for?

A transaction management tool connects by API or by export in most cases, and where it is closed the custom tool runs around it with the tool as a step rather than the centre, confirmed in the data read.

Can it handle different splits per agent?

Different splits per agent, caps, team overrides and referral fees are rules written down once and applied to every closing by the ledger, with the exceptions routed to the broker.

The transaction, the commission and the lease-end date, tracked by a system the brokerage owns

A real estate business runs on checklists and splits, and both live in each agent's own spreadsheet. The brokerage finds out what was missed at closing and what the split was when the invoice is argued. A small system that holds the checklist, the split and the date fixes both, and it stays when the agent leaves.

The tools real estate actually runs on

Transaction checklists

A signed contract opens the checklist for that transaction type: documents, dates, parties, disclosures, each with an owner and a due date. The broker sees every file's status on one screen. Built as dispatch and job tracking where the job is a closing.

A commission ledger

Every closing produces the commission calculation from the agreed split, the referral fee where one applies, and the statement, reconciled against the deposit when it lands. I co-own an apartment locating brokerage; this ledger is ours. The billing and collections engine runs it.

A lease-end tracker

For locators and property managers, every client's lease-end date on a timeline that starts the outreach months ahead and tracks the renewal, the move and the referral fee as their own paths. It feeds the intake and scheduling flow for the next placement.

A listing pipeline

The listing record entered once produces the syndication, the marketing pieces and the internal tracking, with photos and documents filed automatically. A customer portal shows a seller or an owner where their listing stands without a call to the agent.
