The Collaboration Center for buyers is a portal for them to review listings they are receiving from the system. They can favorite listings, mark others as possible or reject listings. They can add comments and requests showings, which go directly to their agent. They can compare listings and more. All of this can be done on any device, as the portal is entirely mobile friendly. This page covers how to utilize Agent Recommended. Agent recommended is a feature that allows agents to manually add listings into their buyer's Collab Center that they otherwise wouldn't receive automatically.
USING AGENT RECOMMENDED
Enabling Agent Recommended
The purpose of the Collaboration Center is for agent's to set up a saved search from criteria the buyer provides and the system automatically sending matches based on that saved search. However, agents will still run searches and may come across a listing that doesn't match the criteria, but could still be worth seeing by the buyer. Agent Recommended allows agents to add those listings into the Collab Center.
Step 1: Find the Contact
Go to the "Contacts" menu and select "View/Manage Contacts."
Click the contact's name to open their profile.
From the menu on the left, choose "Buyer Activity."
Step 2: Enable Agent Recommended
From the menu on the left, choose "Agent Recommended."
This automatically turns on the Agent Recommended feature.
Adding Listings via Agent Recommended

Step 2: Add to Cart
Select "Contact"

If you are not sure if Agent Recommended is enabled for this contact, choose "Save & Notify." This will add the listing to the contact and open up their profile for you to ensure Agent Recommended is enabled. Refer to the instructions above for how to do that.
