The hidden cost of manual back-office work
Brokerages often underestimate how much time and money vanish into manual back‑office tasks:
- Chasing missing documents and signatures.
- Updating deal spreadsheets by hand.
- Reconciling commissions and payouts manually.
- Sending one‑off reminder emails and texts.
Brokurz is designed to eliminate this admin tax by automating or systematizing as many workflows as possible—so your staff can focus on higher‑value work and your agents feel supported.
Why back-office automation matters for broker-owners
Automating back‑office workflows improves:
- Profitability: more agents per staff member.
- Risk: fewer missed deadlines and compliance gaps.
- Agent experience: smooth onboarding and closings.
In a tight margin business, back‑office leverage is one of the biggest multipliers you have.
10 back-office workflows you should automate with Brokurz
- New deal intake and file creation. Stop relying on email threads; auto‑create files from standardized intake forms.
- Document checklists and reminders. Use workflow rules to request and track documents automatically.
- Compliance review routing. Route files to reviewers based on price, property type, or risk flags.
- Commission calculations and CDAs. Apply plans, splits, and caps automatically instead of re‑keying data.

How Brokurz handles these workflows for you
Brokurz was designed as a workflow engine as much as a data system. That means:
- You can define checklists, triggers, and automations once and apply them consistently.
- Staff can see exactly where each file and payout stands.
- Agents experience a predictable, professional process every time.
