Until now agent profiles have either been a small section of the overall company website or have been custom built via expensive third party subscriptions that require time consuming updates and limited inclusions.
With LockedOn plus, you can now generate your very own agent profile site, complete with your biography, awards, recent sales, articles and much more all from the one place. Not only will this save you thousands of dollars on having multiple subscriptions, but it allows you to update your own site in real time or better yet, update automatically for you!
Before you get started
Your agent profile website contains affiliated features. Please ensure you have read the articles below and have added these features to your LockedOn prior to creating your agent profile website;
Adding Articles - any market insights, tips for buying/selling etc.
Adding Testimonials - what your clients have to say about you
Adding your agent bio - ensure you have filled out your short/extended bio summary

Once you have included the above items, it's time to start customising your agent profile website.

The pre built template will appear and will auto fill with the data you have provided in your LockedOn profile and Agent Bio section. The template is broken down into separate components, all of which you can customise to suit your preferences.
Components
The Agent Profile Site template is made up of several separate components shown in list form to the right of your template. To see the customisation options for each component, click on the component name in the list.

Bg Image- click the Upload button and select an image to show in the background of your header section. This will open the image editor within your LockedOn. Edit your image to suit.

Agent Bio
This section will auto merge with the information you have provided in your LockedOn Profile under the Agent Bio section. This is a great opportunity to summarise who you are and what you have achieved.
Because this information is merged from an affiliated section of LockedOn, the customise options here are limited to Show Agent Name on/off. Should you wish to make any other changes, please do so in the Agent Bio section of your LockedOn profile.
Stats

Hide Summary - this summary includes the stats for your private vs auction sales which is not otherwise shown. It also includes total number of sales and average days on market. Click the switch to hide this summary.

This section will merge with the information saved in the Extended Bio section of your LockedOn profile and therefore, any major changes should be edited there.
