Your Agency Profile page is the page users will see when they are searching 'Agency Search'.
This is how a user would navigate to 'Agency Search' from Commercial Real Estate home page:
When a user enters Agency Search, they enter a suburb name or keyword (usually agency name) and are given a page of results which includes agencies with active listings in that suburb, and surrounding suburbs.
Each agency is represented by a ‘tile’ that provides agency branding, name, address, number of sold, leased and live listings, and buttons to call or email.
The order of the results is determined by calculating the number of upgraded listings and overall activity.
From the search results page, the user clicks on your agency and is taken to your profile page.
Once on the profile page the user can see:
(A) = Automatically populated by Commercial Real Estate
(M) = Manually input by agency
- Agency name and address (A)
- Link to agency website (A)
- Contact agency buttons (A)
- Property listing statistics (A)
- Agency description (M)
- Current listings (A)
- Team members (agents from Commercial Real Estate Agent Admin Agent List)
- Agency map location (A)

How can I manage agents appearing in 'Our Team'?
By default, your Agency Profile will only show agents with live listings, in order of how many listings they are assigned to, with preference to sales listings. The order in which the agents appear cannot be changed.
Although there are settings in Commercial Real Estate Agent Admin agent list page to change the order of appearance, these settings only apply to Domain agency profile pages and will not change the order of agents or include agents without listings.

How can I update my agency website address?
Updating the agency website falls under ‘Change of Details’. Please contact your Commercial Real Estate Account Manager to assist with this.
Why are old photos still visible in Commercial Real Estate Agent Admin under ‘Agency Photos’?
In the past, this section was used to host a number of agency images to be used on various pages. This section is now obsolete, however, there are plans to use this section for future development. Don’t worry, no-one can see these externally.
How are agencies ranked in Agency Search search results?
Agents appear in searches based on the suburbs set in their ‘agency coverage’. The agencies listed in the search results are in order of which agencies have the most platinum/gold listings, preferencing sales listings.
How are agency statistics calculated?
All statistics are calculated using your property data from the last 12 months only. Average sale price is calculated from the sale price you have entered for your sold listings.
The listing must be marked as Sold and must be set to 'Display Sold Price' to be included in Average sale price and Total sales.
Average days on market calculates the average number of days from when the listing was first created to when the listing was set to Sold or Archived.
If a listing is left on Commercial Real Estate as 'Under Offer' this will increase the number of days on the market.

Can we hide the number of Sold listings?
Yes. Simply send an email to support@commercialrealestate.com.au requesting to hide Sold listings.
This may be a better option for younger agencies that don't have many Sold listings.
Don't forget to let us know to display your Sold listings once you've made a number of sales.
