As with most of its Office programs, Microsoft offers a template for those with Access that is designed specifically for those interested in using Access for real-estate purposes. This free template, which you can download directly within Access or on the Microsoft official website, allows you to create a database in which you can manage your properties, buyers, sellers, prices and other information. Once you download the template, organizing your real-estate information is simple.
Step 1
Go to the Real Estate template on the Microsoft Office template downloads page (see Resources) and click download, or launch Microsoft Access, click the "Business" header, and select "Real Estate" under "Templates." The downloaded template will appear in a new Access page.
