Guide to Using Your Personal Domain with KvCORE CRM & IDX Platform

Owning a unique domain is a powerful tool for real estate agents. For those utilizing the KvCORE system and wanting to use their personal domains, there are a couple of primary ways to integrate:

1. Domain Forwarding (Redirecting using 301 Redirect)

   Most domain registrars provide user-friendly tools that allow you to redirect traffic from your personal domain straight to another website.

   Here's an easy to understand example:

   Suppose you've secured the domain 'BestRealtor.com' and you'd like visitors to be directed to your brokerage KvCORE site 'best-realtor.remaxsuccess.ca'. Setting up domain redirection in your registrar's dashboard for 'BestRealtor.com' will seamlessly guide users to 'best-realtor.remaxsuccess.ca'.

   Once redirected, the browser's address bar will transition from 'BestRealtor.com' to 'best-realtor.remaxsuccess.ca'.

   Key Point:

   Avoid activating 'Redirection with Masking'. This might render your site as insecure, impacting its trustworthiness and even hampering SEO + some functionalities. Redirection with masking retains the domain in the URL, disguising the transition from your original domain to the KvCORE subdomain. Most agents who've tried this ended up reversing their choice to ensure their site's optimal functionality.

2. Custom Vanity Domain Integration

   This feature is available as a paid premium service within the KvCORE Marketplace, letting you replace the default KvCORE subdomain automatically assigned by your brokerage with your chosen branded domain. After opting in to this feature, there's a brief validation period and you won’t be charged the $11usd/month for 5 days after opting in. Necessary documentation will be required, signed and submitted, followed by the required MLS approval. Once these steps are achieved, our team at Agent2Brand will collaborate with you to adjust your domain registrar with the right DNS settings (Name Servers.)
