REA.co Real Estate Accounting & Tax

Coverage

We Work Everywhere. We Publish Where the Rules Differ.

REA is a remote property accounting team, so the portfolio's location has never limited who we can serve. What does change by location is the law: trust and deposit rules are set state by state, and they change the accounting, not just the paperwork. These are the states where we publish that detail.

Every State and City We Publish

Deposit Rules, Then Cities

Outside these states, REA still takes the work. We are remote by design and our clients span the country. If your state is not listed it means we have not published its rule detail yet, not that we cannot serve it. Ask us about your market.
