Adding Agents & Brokerages

Overview:

If you have an Agent website, you can setup an Agent Profile for yourself.  This will allow the system to pull in your listings automatically from MLS.  You can then setup a filtered IDX Listings page on your website to display all of your active personal listings.

If you have a Brokerage website, you can setup Agent Profiles for each Agent in your office.  You can then setup an Agent Directory page on your website to display a directory of all your Agents.  This will allow your visitors to click on any Agent to see their personal listings and full profile (photo, biography, contact information, etc...).

Additionally, regardless of your site type (Agent or Brokerage), you can setup a Brokerage Profile for your Brokerage.  This will allow the system to pull in your Brokerage's listings automatically from MLS.  You can then setup a filtered IDX Listings page on your website to display all of the Brokerage's active listings.

  • Click on "Configuration > Manage Agents" from the menu on the left in your COOLSite Admin.
