--- title: January 2026 slug: january-2026 icon: 📅 docTags: createdAt: 2024-07-02T21:05:43.855Z --- # Version 8.0 *Released: January 31, 2026* ## Features ### Commission Plans Brokerages can now define **commission plans** in **Deduction Manager** to split gross commission across tiers, components, and payees (brokerage, agents, vendors, and referring agents). - Create tiered plans by commissions earned or deals completed, assign them to realtors from the plan list or realtor profile, and activate or deactivate plans as needed. - Commission review, Trade Record Sheets, and payments calculate plan deductions with a tier overview and predicted deductions for future periods. - Plan components flow through autopay, manual payments, withholdings, EFT, and RealDesk Accounting sync. ## Improvements ### AI Contract Wizard Improvements When your brokerage enables the deal reminder date (for example **Title Search Date**), the Contract Wizard now includes that field on transaction details and pre-fills it from extracted contract data when available. Brokerage matching for the other agent and office was also improved when submitting deals from the wizard. # Version 7.22 *Released: January 30, 2026* ## Improvements ### Filter EFTs by Additional Payment Types It's now possible to filter the EFT Payments screen by all payment types, including types specific to Property Management if this module is enabled in your office's RealDesk. ## Bug Fixes ### Property Management Landlord Invoice Fixes Resolved an issue where, in some cases, multiple Property Manager commissions did not show correctly on the invoice. # Version 7.21 *Released: January 28, 2026* ## Features ### Simplified Tax Withholdings You can now create sales tax (GST/HST) or income tax withholdings for an agent without needing to use the Deduction Manager to create a third-party deduction! Instead, visit the agent's profile in Active Realtors and you'll see there's a new section called Withholdings. To create a GST/HST withholding just set the start date; the tax rate will be determined automatically by your province, and the payee is automatically the agent him/herself. To create an income tax withholding, specify the percentage and the payee (either the agent, a third party, or a specified Vendor if you are using the Vendors module in RealDesk) and the start date. At any time, you can set an end date (must be today's date or after) to stop withholdings. We've also improved the calculation method for these withholdings. GST/HST withholdings will automatically withhold the *actual net* GST/HST after deductions and expenses. Income tax withholdings will withhold the specified percentage of the agent's *net* commission after deductions and expenses. ## Improvements ### Trade Record Sheet — Agent Copies We now label the trade sheet available to the agent explicitly as an "agent copy", and exclude additional sections: - Office Commission calculation - Ledger Details Additionally, an exact PDF copy of what the agent signs is now saved to the deal forms list as soon as the signing is complete. # Version 7.20 *Released: January 27, 2026* ## Features ### Referring Agents and Revenue Sharing It's now possible to add up to 3 "referring agents" to a realtor's profile. This works in conjunction with the new Commission Plans feature and enables revenue sharing payments to be calculated and distributed automatically. Contact RealDesk Support if you're interested in adding this feature! # Version 7.19 *Released: January 27, 2026* ## Improvements ### "Save as Draft" Enhancements A number of improvements to the drafts feature: - Drafts are now implemented for listings! You can save a listing as a draft, and then use the new "Edit Draft Listing" button in the Listings section of the Transaction Room to resume work on your drafts. - If you add forms to a listing or deal and then save a draft, these forms are now saved and will show when you resume work on your draft. - Draft listings and deals are automatically deleted when you submit the listing or deal to the office. But if you wish to delete a draft that you're no longer planning to submit, it's now possible to do so by clicking Edit Draft Listing (or Deal) and then clicking the red X button next to the draft you would like to delete. ## Bug Fixes ### Financial Reports Date Filtering Resolved an issue where, in some cases, entering an invalid year (e.g. 205 instead of 2025) would cause the filters to become unresponsive, requiring a screen reload. ### Deduction Overrides with Negative Net Commissions Resolved an issue where, in some cases, overrides couldn't be saved when the agent's net commission on the deal was negative. # Version 7.18 *Released: January 26, 2026* ## Improvements ### Subscription Payment Enhancements Various improvements to retry logic and payment failure handling. # Version 7.17 *Released: January 24, 2026* ## Improvements ### Cut Over to RealDesk URLs We now use app.realdesk.ai/yourbrokerage as our primary URL!
