Deskwork's office desk on a calm morning: the day's counts, the button that starts a file, and the files waiting for review with their agents

Built alongside a working Michigan brokerage.

The back-office jobs that eat your week, done once.

  • Today: Every listing typed twice.

    With Deskwork: One screen to open a file: agent, address, price.

  • Today: Made-up client emails just to save a file.

    With Deskwork: A client is a name and a role. No email needed.

  • Today: Ticking off each document by hand.

    With Deskwork: Drop the whole stack on the file. Each document lands on its checklist line; any it can't place waits for you.

  • Today: A spreadsheet per agent at year-end.

    With Deskwork: Every agent's year-end totals, to the cent, in one CSV.

  • Today: “How close am I to cap?”

    With Deskwork: Agents see their own cap, their pay this year and their statements.

  • Today: Change a split, and last year's figures change with it.

    With Deskwork: Each closing keeps the plan it was paid on. Change a plan on a copy.

One file, listing to statement.

Pay & archive issues each agent's statement and emails it to them, with the split, the fees and their cap on it. If email reaches its daily limit or pauses itself, the statement waits until Live email can send it. An agent using their own Workspace domain can receive it at the exact address on the roster.

  1. File the listing: the agent, the address and the price.
  2. The broker closes it from final review.
  3. The closing counts toward the agent's cap.
  4. The agent gets their statement.
Filing a listing in Deskwork: the kind of file, then its agent, picked from the roster Deskwork's closing screen: the files at final review, ready to close, with their agents, closing dates and prices The closing's cap year in Deskwork: what the agent had paid toward their cap, what this closing adds, and what is left The agent's commission statement in Deskwork: the sale, the office's share and the fee, what they are paid, and where it leaves their cap

Files and documents

Each file says what the office does next and where every document stands.

  • Each document on its own checklist line.
  • Approve one, or all that are uploaded in one press.
A listing's document checklist in Deskwork: documents the agent uploaded, each landed on its own line, waiting for the office to approve

Plans and caps

A split with or without a cap, a fee-only plan, or tiers, each written out in plain words. Caps run on each agent's anniversary year.

  • How far each agent is toward their cap, and what is left.
  • The day their next cap year opens.
An agent's cap progress in Deskwork: how far toward their cap they are, the cap, what has counted toward it and what is left

Each agent's year

Open files, closings, pay and cap progress for each agent on one page. At year-end, the annual report gives every agent's closings to the cent, as a CSV.

  • Their plan, office and team at the top.
  • Referrals counted apart from closings.

Built to hold your office's pay.

No ads, trackers or analytics. Documents go to your own Google Drive once you connect it; Deskwork keeps the file name, not the document. A picture chosen as the file's photo is kept with the file.

Read the privacy policy

Your records, kept apartEach brokerage's records are stored separately, never in a database shared with other brokerages.

Leavers lose access fastTurn someone off in Google Admin and their access ends within an hour; mark them as left on the roster and it ends at once.

Every change on recordEach save records who changed what, and keeps the version it replaced.

Pay has its own ruleEach agent sees their own pay, and their team's unless you make it private. The broker-owner, office manager and assistants see all of it.

Email only when it matters.

Statements and one morning summary; most other email only if you turn it on. Never marketing. Every kind, and who gets it

Free when you sign up yourself.

A desk you set up through the signup page is free: every feature on this page, every agent on your roster. No card, no trial clock.

If we ever add paid plans, your desk's owner hears first, and nothing is charged without their agreement. If we set up your desk for you, what your brokerage pays is set out in our written agreement with you.

Questions brokers ask first.

Something else? See Help, or email support@deskworkapp.com.

Who is Deskwork for?

Independent real estate brokerages that want one shared place for every deal, from the first paperwork to the agent's payout and the year-end totals.

What does it cost?

Nothing when you sign up yourself, and no card is asked for. If we set up your desk for you, what your brokerage pays is set out in our written agreement with you. More about pricing

Can our agents sign in with Gmail?

Yes. Agents sign in with your brokerage's Google Workspace accounts, or with a personal Gmail address once your broker adds that exact address to the roster. Where your office offers it, they can also sign in with a Microsoft 365 work account, or with a personal Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live or MSN address on the roster.

Where do our documents live?

In your brokerage's own Google Drive. The broker-owner connects Drive once; then each file gets its own folder, a document you add goes straight into it, and one already in Drive can be attached. Deskwork keeps the checklist and the file names, not a second copy of the document. A picture chosen as the file's photo is kept with the file.

Can we bring our past files?

Yes. Open the commission workbook you keep today in Deskwork: it shows your figures beside its own and lists the past closings it has no file for. You see them first, and nothing is created until the broker-owner says so.

Does Deskwork pay our agents?

No. You pay agents the way you do today; Deskwork works out each share, writes the statement and emails it. No money or bank details pass through Deskwork, and your accountant still does the books. Your brokerage stays responsible for what it files and pays.

How do we get started?

Sign up free with your brokerage's Google Workspace account or a Gmail address, and your desk is ready in a few minutes. Or request access and we'll set up your plans, roster and checklists with you.

What does claiming the office do?

Confirm your brokerage's name, filled in from when you signed up, and you become its broker-owner.

How do I add agents?

Add each person on the Roster with the address they will sign in with: Google Workspace or Gmail, or, where your office offers it, a Microsoft 365 work account or a personal Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live or MSN address on the roster. Adding them sends no email until you send invites.
