Bug Fixes
EFT Notifications Bug
Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, EFT notifications were not always sent to buying agents on double end deals.
Inhibit Creating Add Lawyers Task if Already Added
Resolved an issue where, in some cases, updating a deal to Firm status would create an "add lawyers" task for agents even if lawyers had already been added while the deal was conditional.
Predicted Deductions Incorrect on Commission Review Panel

Version 9.27
Released: May 28, 2026
Improvements
Edit Outstanding Deposits
It's now possible to edit an outstanding deposit prior to marking it received.
As well, when marking an outstanding deposit received, the date can be edited rather than RealDesk inserting today's date automatically.

Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, the TRS would display the correct law firm but incorrect lawyer name.
Version 9.26
Released: May 27, 2026
Improvements
Inhibit Double Deal Fees When Crossing Plan Tiers
Previously, when a commission payout was split between two tiers due to an agent reaching a threshold, and a deal fee existed in both tiers, both would be charged. Now, RealDesk will only apply the deal fee from the upper tier.
Alberta Conveyance Form Improvements
In cases where the buying brokerage commission is to be paid by a lawyer rather than the listing brokerage (which is selectable in the Edit Deal screen), the conveyance form generated for that lawyer will now display the buying commission.
Vendor Expense Import Improvements
Significantly enhanced vendor and GL match logic to improve the efficiency of the CSV expense import.
Bug Fixes
Column Sort Error in Active Realtors Page
Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, sorting by column header in the Active Realtors page was unresponsive.
Edit Listing or Deal Error with Inactive Client
Resolved an issue where, in some cases, attempting to edit a deal or listing where one or more clients had been marked inactive would generate an error.
Version 9.25
Released: May 25, 2026
Improvements
Cheque Payments Improvements
A number of small improvements to the Cheque Payments function:
- It's now possible to use a wider range of cheque number formats; for instance, sequences with leading zeroes (0004829) will be preserved rather than trimmed (4829)
- We now support printing cheques on the middle or bottom of the page
- Cheque settings are saved automatically when entered
- Options to move cheques to pending / printed have been clarified
Bug Fixes
Header Search Displays Inactive Clients
Resolved an issue where, in some cases, the header search would display inactive clients, causing some confusion.
TRS Signing Section Not Appearing
Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, the signatures section would not display on the Trade Record Sheet.
Incorrect Add Agent Pop-Up on Deal Add Screen
Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, clicking "Add Agent" would display an obsolete version of the add agent pop-up.
Commission Plan Component Names Not Displaying on TRS
Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, the TRS would display "Commission Plan" for a given deduction instead of the component name e.g. "20% Split".
Financial Statements Errors
Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, the Cost of Goods Sold section of the Profit & Loss Report did not sum correctly. Also resolved an issue where, when generating a Trial Balance, selecting a date range spanning multiple fiscal years returned incorrect balances. Finally, resolved an issue where exporting a large report to PDF would sometimes fail and display an error.
Version 9.24
Released: May 22, 2026
Features
Deposit Workflow Changes
We've released a large bundle of improvements to how client deposits work in RealDesk:
- Users can now choose "received from" via a drop-down. If the deposit was provided by someone other than a buyer, you can add a new profile for this individual and then add bank account information
- There's now a selectable deposit method drop-down
- When receiving a new deposit, or marking an outstanding deposit received, it's possible to email the deposit receipt directly to a list of deal parties (agent(s), other brokerage, client(s))
- Both outstanding and received deposits now show on the Trade Record Sheet
- When a deal is collapsed, users can now create the deposit release(s) directly from the Transaction Room review screen. Or, from the Payments screen, selecting Create Payments on a collapsed deal automatically creates the deposit release(s) instead of attempting to pay out the deal commissions
Vendor Expense Import from CSV
It's now possible to upload a CSV and create vendor expenses in bulk. The import module will auto-suggest vendors based on fuzzy matching (e.g. an expense marked "Uber" will match to a vendor entered in RealDesk as "Uber Canada"), and GL accounts are auto-suggested based on vendor history.
Bug Fixes
Brokerage Activity Page Commissions Confirmed Issue
Resolved an issue where, in some cases, staff members with Office Admin roles did not see the full Commissions Confirmed information.
Pro Forma Invoice Displays Split Instead of Full Commission
Resolved an issue where, in some cases involving deals with multiple agents, the Other Brokerage or Client invoices in the deals page displayed an incorrect brokerage commission amount.
Version 9.23
Released: May 21, 2026
Improvements
RealSign URL Change
We've moved RealSign's hosting to esign.realdesk.ai — but any bookmarks you might have for the old "Datz Esign" will continue to work.
RealSign Improvements
A few enhancements related to the integration between RealDesk and RealSign:
- When clicking "Import from RealSign" in the Add Deal or Edit Deal screens, the pop-up will display only the most recent signing sessions initially, with a "Load More" option at the bottom, to improve loading speed and performance
- Import from RealSign is now fully enabled in the AI Contract Wizard as well!

Improvements
Vendor Expense Enhancements
We've improved pagination on all vendor module screens, and added a "per page" selector.

We've also added an Office attribute for multi-office brokerages.
Bug Fixes
Investigate Recalculation Failure on Autopayments
Resolved an issue where, in rare cases, users received an error when editing a payment in the Create Payments pop-up.
Law Firm EFT Info Not Available

Version 9.21
Released: May 15, 2026
Features
Automate Payroll Journal Entries
For offices using the RealDesk payroll integration, journal entries are now automatically created each time payroll is run.
Improvements
Separate Lawyers and Law Firms
We now use a "many to one" data model, where multiple lawyers can be created within one law firm.
Each lawyer can have his/her own email address and phone number, but other data points (mailing address, bank account, firm phone number, primary and secondary email addresses) belong to the firm and are the same regardless of which lawyer is used.
When conveyance is sent, the user can decide whether to email the lawyer, the firm, or both.
Deals Page Improvements
Enhanced the look and feel of the deals page header.
Version 9.20
Released: May 14, 2026

Expense Tracker Improvements
For multi-office brokerages, we've added an office filter when All Realtors are selected.
All columns are now sortable by clicking the column header.
The "Line Item Report" option has been renamed to "Group By Realtor", and this option displays only when All Realtors are selected.
Property Management Enhancements
Statements now generate based on monthly rent cycle (20th-19th) instead of calendar month.
Added a status filter (active / closed properties) to Properties and Statements pages.
Cancel or Retry Failed Rent Payments
For property management deals, we've added an option to cancel an automatic rent payment that fails due to NSF, in addition to the retry option.

Features

Agents can now click on the Trade Record Sheets option in the left menu to view all trade records pending signature or previously signed.
Improvements
Transaction Room View Refresh
Updated the main Transaction Room screen to use a drop-down for office locations, and make the other filters more consistent.
Removed the "Limit To" button that existed in the Transaction Room as well as in other screens (e.g. Expense Tracker); staff users can now directly select an agent from the drop-down without needing to confirm that selection.
Expense Tracker — Send Statements to Agents
Added buttons to send a statement to an individual agent, or if all agents are currently selected, send statements to all agents with outstanding balances.
Accounts Receivable Report Enhancements
We've added a Summary view option, which lists only the totals for each agent instead of each individual expense.
This summary view also shows the number of open deals and total outstanding commissions for each agent, to allow you to determine for which agents you may be able to recover expenses from forthcoming commission payments.
Commission Plan Assignments
Each Commission Plan now displays a list of agents currently assigned to it.
Office Filters in Reports
For brokerages with multiple office locations, all reports now have an Office multi-select filter.
