Compass's Katie Crain + John Podhor profile links to a separate website at `crainpodhor.com`. The public page establishes that connection. It does not establish who controls the separate website's accounts. [Compass profile example](https://www.compass.com/agents/katieand-john/). Start by identifying the address you have. Then confirm who can edit the page, change its website link, and receive inquiries. Treat a custom domain as a separate control question. Use the checks below before commissioning a website or changing its destination. ## Identify which Compass page you mean Compass's agent directory supports searches by agent or location. Individual profiles can show a biography, business contact details, and a contact action. Teresa Brooks's profile also displays a personal-website link. These are observed public features, rather than a promise about every account. [Compass agent directory](https://www.compass.com/agents/), [individual profile example](https://www.compass.com/agents/teresa-brooks/). Make a short inventory before requesting changes: | Address or page | What to record | Question to resolve | | --- | --- | --- | | Your Compass profile | Public address, biography, contact details, and available website link. | Who can correct each field? | | A separate personal or team website | Full address, page list, editing system, and provider. | Which account gives you editing and handoff access? | | Your custom domain | Registrar account, renewal responsibility, and current destination. | Who can authorize a destination change? | Open the profile's website link and record the address it reaches. Keep the profile address and website address in separate rows. If you have a team page and an individual profile, inspect both. For a seller, choose the page that should explain your selling service. For a buyer, choose the page that should handle a buying or property question. Give each destination a defined purpose before deciding whether to replace it. ## Confirm the editing route and website entitlement Do not choose a website package from a public profile example. Ask your Compass contact to identify the person responsible for profile corrections. Ask the website provider to identify the separate site administrator, if applicable. Request written answers against your actual account: - Which settings supply my biography, phone number, email, and external website link? - Which fields can I edit, and which require an administrator? - Does my agreement include a separate website, or only the public profile? - If a website is included, who provides it and what access do I receive? - Can I use my own domain, and who configures the connection? - Which charges, subscriptions, approval requirements, and departure conditions apply? Keep the answers with the page inventory. Mark unanswered items as unresolved. Ask for the current instructions and applicable agreement before treating a feature as included. For public wording, ask who approves the biography, brokerage identification, images, and website disclosures. Give that person the proposed text and intended page. Request the requirements for your market before approving development. After a correction, inspect the published profile and the separate website. Check the actual link destination and visible contact details. Record completion when the intended information appears publicly. ## Check what your custom domain controls A domain supplies a readable web address. Registration gives a renewable right to use that name. It does not grant permanent ownership. [MDN's domain explanation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Howto/Web_mechanics/What_is_a_domain_name). For this website decision, define domain control through account access and permission to change the destination. Confirm the registrar, account holder, recovery method, and renewal responsibility. Keep credentials out of the website brief. Ask the maintainer to document how the domain reaches the current page. Specify whether the proposed work keeps that destination or moves it. Require a configuration plan for the actual provider before changing anything. The Compass profile example links outward to another domain. An external link does not establish that Compass can host your website at a custom domain. Confirm the supported arrangement for your account. [Observed external website link](https://www.compass.com/agents/katieand-john/). Keep domain access, website editing, and content reuse as separate acceptance items. Ask the provider to demonstrate each permission you need. Use the existing [website ownership guide](https://scalewithsearch.com/articles/own-your-site) for the wider account and handoff checklist. ## Trace seller and buyer inquiries through both pages The observed Compass profiles display a contact action alongside their website links. Inspect each route separately when planning your website. [Team profile contact and website options](https://www.compass.com/agents/katieand-john/), [individual profile contact and website options](https://www.compass.com/agents/teresa-brooks/). Record where each action opens, who should receive the message, and what remains unverified. A public page alone is insufficient evidence of delivery into your account. Arrange permitted test submissions with the receiving person. Use details you control and label the messages as tests. Keep profile testing separate from testing the personal website. | Route to check | Proposed test | Evidence required before accepting it | | --- | --- | --- | | Compass profile contact action | Follow the public action and arrange a permitted submission. | Actual recipient, received message, and usable reply details. | | Profile's personal-website link | Open it on a phone and desktop. | Intended website and landing page. | | Personal website's seller path | Send a labeled selling question through the agreed form. | Receipt at the agreed destination, with the question and reply details. | | Personal website's buyer path | Send a labeled buying or property question. | Receipt with the intended question and any supplied property reference. | | Published phone and email | Inspect the link targets. | Approved business number and email destination. | Ask the recipient to confirm receipt before marking a form passed. Record a missing message as a failed check. Assign the correction to the responsible website or account administrator. If you require listing search, saved searches, or property alerts, ask the provider for their own acceptance checks. Keep those requirements in the written scope. A successful general inquiry test does not complete those tests. ## Resolve continuity before changing brokerage or provider Before announcing a new address, ask Compass what happens to your public profile and its external website link. Request the applicable correction or closure route and the person responsible. Leave the timing unresolved until it is confirmed. Ask the separate website provider which files, approved content, and account access you may retain. Confirm reuse permissions before adding brokerage material or listing images to the replacement brief. Keep website handoff questions separate from contact-data export. Have the responsible account owner confirm which records you may retain and how. Keep private buyer and seller histories out of the website brief. Prepare the destination page, approved identity details, and inquiry tests before switching links you control. Then inspect the profile, custom domain, and receiving inbox again. Record any old destination still awaiting correction. ## Bring the verified arrangement into your website scope The Compass arrangement distinguishes your brokerage profile from a separately controlled website and domain.
