FOR REAL ESTATE AGENCIES

Your best sales month can hide your worst quarter.

Financial intelligence for real estate agencies. Cost-per-deal visibility, agent profitability, and the cash forecast your bookkeeper can't give you.

The financial blind spots that cost real estate agency owners the most.

You're closing deals, growing the team, and building your name in the market. But commission-based revenue creates financial blind spots that most agency owners don't see until it's too late.

You don't know your real cost per deal

Commission income looks great on the surface. But when you factor in marketing costs, agent splits, admin overhead, portal fees, and time spent on deals that didn't close: your actual cost per completed transaction is probably 30–40% higher than you think.

One dry month away from a cash problem

Real estate revenue is inherently lumpy. A great quarter masks a weak one. But your rent, staff costs, and marketing spend don't pause. Without a forward view of cash, you're always one slow month away from stress.

Hiring agents without knowing if they'll be profitable

A new agent costs you desk space, marketing budget, CRM access, and training time before they close their first deal. But you have no data on revenue per agent, break-even timeline, or what pipeline volume they need to carry their weight.

Your bookkeeper tells you what happened. Not what's coming.

You get a VAT return and a year-end report. Nobody shows you your cash position 3 months forward, which agents are actually generating profit, or what your real overhead rate is. You're driving with the rearview mirror.

A financial operating system built specifically for real estate agencies.

Not a generic dashboard. A financial model designed around the way real estate agencies actually work: commissions, agent portfolios, seasonal patterns, and deal pipelines.

Your agency-specific financial model includes

True cost per deal

Every completed transaction, fully loaded: marketing costs, agent split, admin time, portal fees, CRM costs. Finally see what each deal actually costs you.

Revenue per agent tracking

See which agents are generating profit and which are operating below break-even. Track pipeline volume, conversion rate, and average deal value per agent.

Cash runway with seasonal overlay

Real estate has natural seasonal patterns. Your cash forecast accounts for this: see 3–6 months forward with stress tests for dry periods and delayed closings.

Marketing ROI per channel

Track what you spend on Funda, social media, print, open houses, and brand: and measure which channels actually drive closed deals, not just leads.

Commission model analysis

Model different agent split structures and their impact on your margins. See exactly what commission changes do to profitability at different deal volumes.

Overhead rate and break-even analysis

Know your real monthly overhead. Know exactly how many deals you need to close per month to cover costs. Remove the guesswork from capacity planning.

Deal pipeline value tracking

See the expected revenue from your active pipeline: weighted by probability: so you know whether next month's cash position looks healthy before it arrives.

Monthly report: human-reviewed, by the 10th

Every month, your full financial intelligence report is delivered. AI-generated, human-reviewed, with a plain-language executive summary and the 3 actions that matter most.

How one agency found €3,100/month hiding in their own numbers.

Before Lume
A real estate agency doing €25K/month with 8 agents. Transaction volume growing but profit didn't follow. Cost-per-deal was unknown. One marketing channel was consuming 35% of the marketing budget but generating less than 10% of closed deals. No visibility into agent-level profitability or seasonal cash patterns.
After 3 months with Lume
Discovered true cost-per-deal was 34% higher than estimated. Cut the underperforming marketing channel, redirected budget to the top two performers. Restructured commission model for junior agents. Monthly margins improved by €3,100. Cost of Lume: €950/month. ROI: 3.3×.

Illustrative scenario based on typical real estate agency financial patterns. Results vary by business.
