The Mileage, CRM & Expense App Built for Realtors
A working agent's week is a blur of drives: buyer showings across three towns, a listing appointment, two inspections, an open house, and a run to drop off flyers in your farm area. Almost every one of those miles is deductible — the National Association of Realtors has long noted that vehicle costs are among an agent's largest business expenses — yet most agents reconstruct their mileage log from memory in April and leave thousands of dollars unclaimed.
Ava Ledger logs those drives automatically. Background GPS tracking captures every business trip and values it at the 2026 IRS rate of 72.5 cents per mile. An agent driving 15,000 business miles a year is looking at a $10,875 deduction — fully documented, IRS-compliant, and ready to hand to a tax preparer without a single spreadsheet.
Follow-up speed wins listings
In real estate, the agent who responds first usually gets the client. Ava watches your inbox, detects new buyer and seller inquiries, and scores them hot, warm, or cold before you've finished your showing. She drafts the response, schedules the follow-up, and reminds you before a warm lead cools off. Past clients — your best source of referrals — stay in the pipeline with anniversary touches and market-update campaigns Ava drafts for you.
Market your farm area without a marketing hire
Just-listed and just-sold announcements, neighborhood market updates, and sphere-of-influence newsletters are the bread and butter of agent marketing. Ava builds the campaign, writes the copy, manages your contact lists, and reports open and click rates — so staying visible in your farm doesn't eat your evenings.
Commission income, organized for tax season
As a 1099 contractor under your broker, you're running a business: Schedule C, self-employment tax, and quarterly estimated payments when you'll owe $1,000+. Ava tracks each commission check, categorizes agent expenses — MLS dues, board fees, E&O insurance, staging, photography, signage, lockboxes, license renewals — and keeps a live quarterly tax estimate so a great closing month doesn't turn into an ugly April. Your CPA gets one-click read-only access when it's time to file.

Frequently asked questions
Are real estate agents 1099 or W-2?
Most agents are independent contractors who receive a 1099 from their broker, file a Schedule C, and pay self-employment tax — which also means business miles and expenses are deductible.
Can Ava track my miles to showings automatically?
Yes. GPS tracking runs in the background and logs drives to showings, listing appointments, inspections, and open houses, then calculates the deduction at the current IRS rate (72.5 cents per mile in 2026).
What expenses can real estate agents deduct?
Common deductions include mileage, MLS dues, board membership, E&O insurance, license renewals, staging and photography, signage, lockboxes, marketing, and client gifts within IRS limits. Ava categorizes them as they happen.
Does Ava replace my real estate CRM?
Yes, for most solo agents and small teams. Ava scores buyer and seller leads hot, warm, or cold, drafts follow-up emails, reminds you before leads go cold, and runs email campaigns to your sphere — plus the mileage and expense tracking real-estate CRMs don't do.
Can Ava handle irregular commission income?
Yes. Ava tracks each commission as it lands, shows your real profit after expenses, projects cash flow through slow months, and keeps a running quarterly estimated-tax number so a big closing never becomes a big tax surprise.
