Why real estate professionals should send beautiful invoices

Whether your real estate expertise is in houses, condos, or office buildings, you know each client is looking for something different and requires personalized service. That means you need an invoice that's flexible enough to capture everything you put into closing the deal — including staging and photography.

In addition, your success relies directly on your image and reputation, so make sure your invoice reflects your professionalism as well as your unique brand.

A clear, polished invoice is a critical touchpoint with your clients. It’s part of the overall customer service you provide, and an important part of whether your clients will refer you on to family and friends.

How to fill out your real estate invoice

Once you've downloaded your free invoice template, you'll need to customize it to fit your specific business. Here are the 10 key things to include on your invoice:

1. Title and Description: Name the project and briefly describe what type of work your client is being invoiced for.
2. Company Details: Add your company name, address, phone number, and logo to the top-right corner.
3. Customer Details: Under "Bill To", add your customer's name, address, and contact information.
4. Invoice Number: Include a unique invoice number to help you track down this invoice in the future. You can format this based on sequence and customer. For example, if you're sending your very first customer their first invoice, the invoice number could be 001-001.
5. Dates: Include the date when your invoice has been issued and the date when payment is due.
6. Line Item: Add individual line items for each unique good or service you provided. For each line item, include a brief description, quantity, individual unit price, and total price.
7. Subtotal: Add up the subtotal of your goods or services, before tax has been applied.
8. Tax: Indicate the tax rate applied to the subtotal. This is legally required to provide on invoices, and your rate may differ depending on where you run your business.
9. Total: Outline the total amount due from the customer, after tax.
10. Notes: Include any additional info your customer should know, including terms of service and payment terms (for example, payments are due 30 days after the invoice has been issued).

When is the right time to send a real estate invoice?

Most real estate professionals invoice their clients as soon as possible after the deal is closed. If you're charging for services such as staging, painting, or other general repairs, you might want to invoice for these when the work is completed, instead of waiting for the final sale.

After all, you need to keep your costs covered while working for your clients.

Handy invoicing tips for real estate professionals

Include all the relevant details

Your real estate invoice should be clear and easy to read, but it also needs to include all the relevant details about your commission, as well as any other services you are charging the client. You don’t want any misunderstandings to get in the way of you being paid.

Accept a variety of payment methods

Everyone appreciates flexibility in how they pay for goods and services and your real estate services should be no exception. Add electronic options such as e-transfers and online payment methods to the types of payment you accept.

Keep a record with numbered invoices
