How to Set Up and
‍Optimize Your Profile

Step 1: Access the Profile Setup Page

To get started, navigate to the Settings button located in the top left corner of your screen. This is where you’ll enter your key profile details to help other agents find and connect with you.

Step 2: Add Your Profile Information

When setting up your profile, be sure to fill in the following fields:

• Profile Photo: A clear photo helps build trust and recognition.
• Name and Brokerage: Ensure your name and brokerage details are accurate and current.
• Quick Bio: A brief bio highlights your experience and specialties.
• Phone Number: Adding a phone number allows other agents to contact you directly for referrals.

Step 3: Select Your Service Areas

One of the most important sections is Service Areas. This helps Handshake’s algorithm match you with agents seeking referral partners in your region. You can add up to 10 Service Areas, so be sure to include all the locations where you’re active.

Step 4: Save Your Profile

Once you’re ready, click Save in the top right corner of your screen. And voilà! Your profile is now set up and ready to help you generate referrals.

Step 5: Sync Your Zillow Reviews

To add credibility to your profile, you can sync your recent Zillow reviews. As long as your Handshake email address matches one of the emails on your Zillow profile, we’ll automatically pull in your 10 most recent Zillow reviews – free of charge!
