Agent Join Custom URL Instructions

Instructions on how to make use of the URL to your customized ClosingContacts.com business directory.

After having been approved as a Licensed Real Estate Broker or Sales Representative in good standing, you will receive an email containing your custom URL that links to your ClosingContacts.com business directory, displaying your very own customized header and contact information.

Using your custom ClosingContacts.com link will not cause you to lose any website visitors to ClosingContacts.com because your custom header with your own contact information will be displayed when visitors have followed your custom URL to get to your ClosingContacts.com business directory.

What will your custom URL look like?

Your approved custom URL will contain the district you work in and your name:

 http://www.closingcontacts.com/Your_District /FirstName_LastName

Setting Up A Text Link

If you manage your website yourself, using an html code editor or Notepad: A typical html tag for a text link to your custom directory looks like this:

<a href=" http://www.closingcontacts.com/Your_District /First_Name_Last_Name

" target="_top">ClosingContacts.com</a>

Replace the dummy URL in the tag with the real one sent to you by email and paste the html tag into your website’s html code.

If you use a WYSIWYG editor such as MS Frontpage or Adobe Dreamweaver: Refer to the editor’s user manual or help section to find out how to set up a hypertext link in your website editor. Usually there is a form field in which you have to paste your custom URL after you have highlighted text in your editor that you want to contain the link. You will find your custom URL in your ClosingContacts.com acceptance email.

If you use a server-side content management system (CMS) such as Site.DFiner: Refer to the CMS’ user manual or help line to learn how to set up a hypertext link.

If you are an existing Site.DFiner customer, contact Site.DFiner support at info@pinpoint-graphics.com or call Pinpoint Graphics at 705-429-7647. Pinpoint Graphics will help to set up the link to your custom ClosingContacts.com directory without charge.
