Your Agency Profile page is the page users will see when they are searching 'Find an Agent'.

This is how a user would navigate to 'Find an Agent' from Commercial Real Estate home page:

The 'Find an Agent' tool allows a user to search for a qualified commercial real estate agent or business broker by entering a location, agent name, or agency name

The order of the results is determined by the number of live listings, ranked from highest to lowest

A live listing is when it's marked as For Sale, For Lease, Sold, or Leased. Also, if it's an active Business For Sale listing. It does not include listings that have been archived/withdrawn.

From the search results page, the user clicks on your agency and is taken to your profile page.

FAQ's


How is an Agency Profile created?
When your Commercial Real Estate account is first activated, your agency profile page is automatically created using the information provided from your agency details, your listings and your agents.

The details provided via when you first joined are used to populate the basic information that forms your profile page.

All you need to do is complete your profile by uploading your agency description.
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 change the agency branding colour applied to background of our logo?
The agency brand colours are usually the background colour of your logo, and are applied to your listings, search results, profile page, and various elements online and in-app.

When you submit your logo to Commercial Real Estate Group support, we will always set the agency brand colours as we upload your logos. To have this updated please contact info@commercialrealestate.com.au
How do I publish or update agency description?
Your agency description or bio appears on your agency profile page, at the top. This is where you can place editorial content about your business.

To publish or update your agency profile description follow the steps in this article: Publish or update agency profile description.

Can I update the image appearing on our profile?
All agency profiles show the same default image which can't be changed for now, however this may change in the future.
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.
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 info@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.
Some of our agents are missing from 'Our Team'
Check to see if they have listings. If they do not have listings, and you would like them to still appear under 'Our Team' in your agency profile, make sure that you have selected to show 'All Agents' in Commercial Real Estate Agent Admin Agent List.

Check Commercial Real Estate Agent Admin to see if they have been added to your agent list. If you are using a listing CRM system to load your listings, you will create a new agent simply by loading a listing to CRE, including their contact details. This will create the agent’s profile with their contact details, however, you will need to login to CRE Agent Admin to upload their image. 
Why are there duplicate agents in our agency profile?
If you are seeing agents duplicating on your agency profile page, this would be because they have duplicated in Commercial Real Estate Agent Admin. See this article for more details: Duplicate agents on Commercial Real Estate
Why are there agents without images?
Agent images cannot be loaded via your CRM, they must be uploaded manually via Commercial Real Estate Agent Admin. It could also be that there have previously been duplicate agents and their image was deleted when we merged the agent profiles.
