The drives and costs of a real estate business

Agents are usually independent contractors, so the records are yours to keep.

Showings and listing appointments

Back-to-back property visits, open houses, previews and listing presentations.

Inspections, appraisals and closings

Meeting inspectors, appraisers and title offices — and dropping off documents and signs.

Marketing and business costs

Signs, photography, ads, lockboxes, dues and license fees — scanned as you go.

*Example only, using the 72.5¢-per-mile IRS standard rate in effect at the start of 2026. Rates change, sometimes mid-year — MileAudit values each drive at the rate for its date. MileAudit is a recordkeeping tool and does not provide tax advice; confirm your eligibility with a qualified professional.

Good to know

General information, not tax advice. Rules depend on your situation — confirm with a qualified tax professional.

  • Most real estate agents are independent contractors for tax purposes, which means you keep your own mileage and expense records.
  • Drives from your office to showings, from one property to the next, and to client meetings are usually business. Your regular commute between home and your office generally isn't.
  • Record the business purpose with each drive — “Showing at 412 Oak St for the Smiths” — while it's fresh. MileAudit asks for it as you classify.
  • Keep marketing receipts (signs, photos, ads) with your records. MileAudit's Advertising category keeps them together.

Frequently asked questions

Can MileAudit track drives between several showings in one day?

Yes. Each drive is recorded on its own with its route on a map, and you can join stop-and-go trips into one if you prefer.

Can I add the client or property to a drive?

Yes. Add a business purpose or a note to any drive — it appears in your CSV export.

Does it track marketing expenses too?

Yes. Scan receipts or add expenses and file them under categories like Advertising, Commissions, or your own custom ones.

Does MileAudit work for my whole brokerage?

Each MileAudit account is for one person's records. Agents on a team each use their own account and export their own reports.
