      Check List - Top 10 things you need to do first

      This article covers the top 10 actions you should be taking the moment you receive your kvCORE log in email (Welcome to kvCORE)

      1. Verify you can successfully sign into kvCORE

      • Your login information will be inside of the "Welcome to kvCORE" email
        • kvCORE does not use passport/okta

      If you have received your "Welcome to kvCORE" email and can not sign in, please email support@exprealty.com for assistance

       

      2. Verify your website subdomain

      All agent kvCORE accounts are created with a subdomain.

      • Subdomain formatting will start with  htttps://
      • Most subdomains are  First Legal Name  Last Legal Name.exprealty.com  (johnsmith.exprealty.com)

      Exceptions would be the firstlegalnamelastlegalname.exprealty.com is in use by another agent's account. 

      In those cases you may have a middle initial or state abbreviation in your subdomain

       

      Two way to verify your subdomain:

      1. Log into your kvCORE account and on the left hand side click on Web & IDX
        1. The right hand side of the screen that loads will display your subdomain
      2. Log into your kvCORE account and click on your email address at the top right
        1. The drop down menu will have your subdomain listed towards the top

       

      Subdomain Change Requests:

      You can request that your subdomain be updated to a preferred name

      Example: 

      Current Subdomain  is  joesephsmith.exprealty.com

      You would like it changed to joesmith.exprealty.com

      or isellhomesdakota.exprealty.com

      Agents connected to a CORE Team Add-On can have the domain portion (exprealty.com) changed to the domain being used by the CORE Team Add-On website

      Please do not use this request for a vanity domain. 

      A vanity domain is a domain you own through a registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap.

      Things to do BEFORE submitting the request:

      1. Have a conversation with your eXp State Broker. Make sure they are amicable to the change.
        1. Once you submit your request it is dependent on their sign off.
          1. They will receive an email which they will either reply Approved or Denied.

      How to request a change:

      Email support@exprealty.com 

      Team Admins - If the agents connected to your CORE Team Add-on need  updated to the team domain in their subdomain please have each of your affected agents email support individually.

      We must have the affected agent's consent.

       

      3. Verify that your subdomain is functional

      Please follow the instructions above on how to locate your subdomain

      Navigate to your correct subdomain and validate it loads correctly (does not display an error)

      If it does not load properly (displays an error) please reach out to support@exprealty.com

       

      4. Verify that your site has the correct MLS attached

      Look at your website, scroll down to the footer of your site. Look at the disclaimer. Do a search on your site.

      If the MLS disclaimer and the listings are on your kvCORE site are incorrect please reach out to support@exprealty.com

       

      5. Have all compliance pieces ready and get them added

      Some states require that there be additional agent specific compliance added to the agent site.
