REALTOR.ca is the place to be seen! In 2015, there were over 1.1 million Realtor searches and 3.2 million Realtor profile views.

As a Realtor, you automatically have a profile page on the site that is built using the profile information that you enter into your Board/Association's MLS® System. Head to ' Find a REALTOR® ' to see what your profile looks like.

Your profile page is a perfect place to brag a little. Potential clients and real estate professionals can search for a Realtor based on criteria like: name, location, office name and areas of specialty. That's why it's so important to include as much information on each of these items as possible. List key attributes like languages
spoken, designations and specialties to improve your chances of being contacted.

Of course, don't forget to also include the basics:

• Profile photo (only 48 percent of Realtors have a photo on their profile page);
• Website address;
• Email;
• Phone number;
• Links to your social media profiles; and
• Brokerage information.

Remember, the more information you provide, the greater the chance you will pop up in someone's search!
For questions about what information can be submitted and how it can be added through your MLS® System, contact your local real estate Board/Association.
