Brokers Widget

The Brokers widget is very flexible and can present a variety of information if needed.
The Brokers Widget has no restrictions and can be deployed on any MBB enabled website, on any page.

  • For a single user account, it will display your "About Me / Profile" using information coming from your User Profile in your Buying Buddy dashboard.
  • For a multi-user account then this widget will display your Team or Office Roster when it loads.
    (See the "URL Parameters" below. for method to show a specific User profile).
  • If you have multiple offices then this widget can present a view of all your Office Locations using a filter option

This widget may be used multiple times on DIFFERENT pages - e.g. one page might be for 'Our Offices', and another page might be for 'Find an Agent'.

Agent Profile View:

The User profile shows a set of Tabs under the top section. Users can Edit their Profile and set options for these tabs:

  • To include a tab for Zillow Reviews
  • The name of the tabs for "Featured Listings", "Sold Listings and "Private Listings".

The "Start a New Search" button on the user Profile page sets a "referral id" that associates the lead with the viewed agent. This means the viewed agent will then be shown on all listings. If the lead registers, they will be assigned to this agent.

Roster / Team View:

Office List View

This view is created using the office:on filter.

Filters

  • searchbar:{true | false} (default = "false", which is different from the OfficeRoster widget!)
    This controls the display of the search bar at the top of the widget for all results.
    This should always be used when you have more agents than you have displayed on the initial view.
    This option cannot be combined with the office option.
  • sort:{last | first | random | office} (default = "last")  *only applies to the initial view
    This determines the initial sort on the first load of the Roster. If the search bar is also shown, then, once you select a letter, this sets the sort by last name.
  • limit:nn (default = 20) *only applies to the initial view
    How many profiles to show in the initial view. Once you select a letter, the limit is removed.
  • office:on *applies to the initial view
    This filter will cause the widget to display the list of offices as the initial view.
    This option cannot be combined with the searchbar option.
    The following two options apply to the MAP view of the offices:
    • mappin:{purple | red | blue} (default is purple)
      This filter controls the map pin color.
