What brokers see

The broker portal is the end of the line. Connecting sheets, checking listings and adding photos all exist to put good units on this one screen.

It’s worth knowing what it shows, because it’s the only part of UnitBook most of your brokers will ever use.

Getting a broker in

Invite them from Team as a Broker. They’ll get an email, set a password, and land straight on the portal. There’s no separate account, and no web address to hand out.

The portal is private. It isn’t a public website, it doesn’t show up in Google, and somebody who isn’t in your firm just gets a sign-in screen.

What’s on it

Your firm’s name and the number of available units sit at the top, with:

• Search, by address, unit or neighborhood
• Bedrooms, from studio upwards
• Max rent

Each row shows the address, unit, bedrooms and bathrooms, the area, when it’s available, and the rent. Tap a row and you get the cover photo, up to eight more, the details, and your description.

Only listings you’ve published appear. Unpublish one and it disappears straight away.

If you’ve set up application links in Settings, they appear at the bottom of each unit as buttons, so a broker picks the right application instead of guessing.

What’s not on it

Brokers don’t see your listings queue, your spreadsheets, your team, your billing, or anyone’s commission. The portal is units, and nothing else.

Keypad codes aren’t on it either. A broker gets into a unit either by opening the lockbox with their phone or by checking the key out. Both leave a record. A code printed on a page wouldn’t.

Partner units

If a management company has given your firm access to its units, those appear in your brokers’ portal alongside your own. To a broker they’re simply units that are available.

Checking it yourself

You don’t need a second account. Add /portal to the end of your UnitBook web address and you’ll see exactly what your brokers see. It’s worth doing after your first publish, because it’s the quickest way to spot a unit that went live with no photos.
