AccountTECH joins leadingre’s solutions group — what it means for modern brokerages

the accounttech infographic illustrates a transition from fragmented legacy systems—like quickbooks and disconnected spreadsheets—to a unified, all-in-one back-office solution specifically designed for real estate. the platform centralizes multi-entity management and historical data migration into a single hub, ultimately delivering a

when you’ve been in real estate since 1994, you’ve seen the cycles. the booms, the corrections, the tech waves, the “next big thing.”

that’s why joining the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (leadingre) solutions group isn’t just another announcement for us at AccountTECH — it’s a meaningful milestone. leadingre has long represented the crème de la crème of independent brokerages. to be recognized as a solutions group partner signals something important: modern brokerages are ready to rethink their back office. and we’re here for it.

a back office built for brokerages — not retro-fitted

AccountTech didn’t start as software. our founder, mark blagden, began in the early ’90s providing accounting services to real estate brokerages. the software came later — born out of necessity. he needed something that could truly support brokerage accounting, not something adapted from generic bookkeeping tools. today, AccountTECH is a full back-office accounting platform designed specifically for real estate brokerages.

that means:

  • all transactional and accounting data in one platform
  • a true general ledger system
  • no feeding into external bookkeeping software
  • no juggling disconnected systems

it replaces the patchwork. and for brokerages managing multiple legal entities — referral companies, title, mortgage, or post-merger entities — everything can live inside one unified system. no hopping between licenses. no separate databases. no chaos.

the real challenge: it’s not software — it’s change

in the linkedin live broadcast, theresa hurt shared something we strongly believe: the biggest barrier to operational improvement isn’t technology. it’s change. broker-owners are often ready to move forward. but the accounting team? the closing department? operations staff? they’re the ones living in the system every day. that’s why we don’t start with a demo. we start with a conversation. before showing the software, we learn how a brokerage operates. what workflows exist. what commission structures look like. what reporting gaps are frustrating leadership. and sometimes? we tell them we’re not the right fit. because forcing software onto the wrong model helps no one.

built by people who’ve done the job

one thing that makes AccountTECH different: our leadership and team members have worked inside brokerages. sales managers. controllers. vps of operations. real estate agents.

we’ve done:

  • commission reconciliations
  • bank recs
  • accounts payable
  • transaction closings

so when a brokerage transitions platforms, we understand the fears — especially around historical data, workflow disruptions, and reporting continuity. that’s why we built a historical data loading team. clients don’t lose their p&ls. they don’t lose transaction history. they don’t lose comparability year over year. it’s hard work. we do it anyway.

relentless evolution: modern ui, ai & automation

the brokerage landscape is evolving quickly — and so is technology.

we’re currently investing heavily in:

  • ui modernization
  • accounting task automation
  • ai-driven workflow efficiencies
  • smart integrations with best-in-class transaction platforms

we stay in our lane — back-office and accounting excellence — but integrate where it makes sense. because productivity isn’t about one system doing everything. it’s about the right systems working seamlessly together.

support that actually shows up

here’s something we’re proud of:

  • average response time: under 7 minutes
  • 99%+ customer satisfaction
  • real humans answering questions

and something we haven’t seen anyone else do at this level: daily live q&a sessions. not prerecorded tutorials. not ticket-only support.

live zoom sessions where clients can:

  • ask complex commission setup questions
  • build new plans in real time
  • learn from other brokerages’ questions
  • speak directly with leadership — including the founder

some attend just to learn. others come with specific needs. all leave with clarity.

why the leadingre partnership matters

joining leadingre’s solutions group is a natural alignment.

independent brokerages within leadingre are often:

  • entrepreneurial
  • multi-entity
  • growth-focused
  • operationally sophisticated

they don’t just want accounting software. they want operational clarity. reporting confidence. scalable infrastructure. back-office performance is no longer a “back room” topic — it’s strategic. and as market margins tighten and overhead discipline becomes critical, brokerages that unify data, eliminate spreadsheet dependency, and streamline workflows gain a measurable advantage.
