Updating Your Member Page on the Southern California CRS Website

Once you have created your logon and can access the Members Only Features, the next step (optional but highly recommended) is to update your profile on our website. This information is viewable by other members and can enhance the information that consumers can read about when they conduct a search and your name shows up.

NOTE:  Please know that the member profile page you update on the Southern California CRS website is NOT the same as the CRS DIRECTORY INFORMATION on the National CRS website and which is also searchable by members and consumers. The member page is ADDITIONAL information you can share to provide a broader perspective on your services, and you may (and should) include a photo since the master directory information does not populate your photo on the Chapter site (but does on the National Site).

A link to your member page is added to the roster information on the Southern California website but ONLY after you update the details on your member page and save the information. 

1. TO CHANGE THE INFORMATION IN THE CRS DIRECTORY:

You can only update your National Directory Information by logging in to the National CRS website and changing your profile on the MY ADVANTAGE page – you will need to use your CRS membership number to create an account if you do not have one.

Why not take a moment NOW to verify that the information on the National CRS website is CORRECT (did you change a phone number?  Add a designation? Move to a new brokerage? Create a new website?). If this information is wrong consumers (or other CRS members) will not be able to contact you. And that reflects badly on you.

2. TO ADD INFORMATION TO THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WEBSITE MEMBER PAGE (Chapter Members Only):

• First, you will need to logon to the Members Only Section (see the recent article on how to obtain your user name and password if you do not have one).

• Once you create an account and logon to the Members Only section, on the left navigation bar CLICK on SoCal CRS Roster. You will then see USER MENU appear in the navigation bar toward the bottom. You will also see several options under this link:

• Edit Your Details
• Edit Your Member Page
• Edit Your Profile
• Manage Forum Image

• Select the option you prefer and follow the directions for adding information to your Member Page. You should complete all 4 options to have the most accurate and complete information available. You WILL need, at a minimum, to add information to the Member Page option in order for this to appear in the chapter roster that can be searched by other CRS members and consumers.
  

3. TO VIEW YOUR MEMBER PAGE (and see what consumers and other members can see):

• Click on SoCalCRS Roster in the navigation bar
• Then on the Roster search page insert your LAST NAME and then click SEARCH
• A pop-up window will appear with your directory information (there is some information from the National CRS site as noted above)
• On the second to last line above the link to your website (check to make sure this website link is correct and working as well) you will see the link “ "click here for the member’s page”.
• Click on that link and the member page you edited (with your photo) will appear.

I would encourage every SoCAL CRS member to update your member page. You never know who might be searching and it’s ANOTHER BENEFIT TO YOU of being a member of the Southern California Chapter of CRS.

If you have any problems, please feel free to email (Jdowler@remax.net) or call me (760-840-1360).
