Credit Card Processing for Real Estate Offices
A real estate office may take a payment at the front desk, collect an application-related charge remotely or invoice for services. Agents may also meet clients away from the office and need a mobile way to take payment. We review which transaction types appear on the statement.
Credit card processing for real estate offices starts with what you already pay. Send one recent statement and a person reads your merchant account for real estate offices line by line. Free, with no obligation.
Short answer
Can a real estate office get a merchant account?
Yes, most real estate offices can. The processor reviews the business, the owner and processing history before approving an account; approval cannot be promised. Mobile readers support agent meetings, while invoices cover charges collected away from reception. Share one recent statement for a free review of your processing.

Can a real estate office qualify for a merchant account?
Most do. The processor decides approval based on the business, the owner and processing history. We help find a fit, but we cannot promise approval.
What should I send for the free review?
Send one recent monthly statement, every page. You can upload a PDF or clear photos on our contact page. A person will explain the fee lines.
Can an agent take a payment away from the office?
A mobile reader may work for in-person payments at a client meeting. Remote payments can instead use an invoice or virtual terminal.
Are keyed payments different from tapped payments?
They may be priced differently because the card is not present. The statement can show separate lines for keyed activity.
