How to create, edit & use contacts

Getting There: Contacts tab or Dashboard tab → Contacts card

OVERVIEW
Agents have the ability to save and manage their client, supplier, and brokerage contact information from within the BrokerBay platform.
This article outlines the process of adding, editing, and using your contacts as an agent.
 
HOW-TO
Agents can access their contact list in two locations:
  1. The Contacts tab in the sidebar menu

  2. The Contacts card in their Dashboard tab

Your contacts will be sorted into three categories: Clients, Suppliers, and My Brokerage. Click on the relevant category to view contacts of that type.
 
How do I add a new contact?
  1. Click the "Add Contact" button in the Contacts tab or the "Add" button on the Contacts card in your dashboard.
  2. Select "Client" or "Supplier" and fill out the mandatory fields, then hit Save.

Contacts & showing configuration

Configuring your listing is faster than ever with BrokerBay's contact module! To add an existing client to a new listing, simply hit Add Contact in the showing configuration screen and search for your client's name in the "Use Existing" search bar.

Manually adding a new contact to your listing's showing configuration will automatically save that client to your contact list.
 
Contact visibility & ownership
Your contact list is only accessible to you and your brokerage's admin staff unless you are co-listed on a property when that listing goes live on the board. Co-listed agents will have shared listing contacts.
You can also transfer the ownership of contacts you've created to another agent if you wish. To do so:
  1. Locate the contact and click on their name.
  2. Click the pencil icon in the popup that appears on the right.
  3. Click on the "..." menu and select Change Owner.
  4. Select the agent you want to be the new owner of this contact and click the Change Owner button.
