Yes.  Expenses incurred in the course of your real estate sales or property management activities are deductible.

@DavidS127 's answer is correct if the realtor is paid as an independent contractor and files Schedule C (which for realtors is usually the case).  But if the realtor is a W-2 employee, those expenses are not deductible.
