How admin manages real estate agents

As an Administrator, you can manage agents in two ways:

Manually from wp-admin

  • Go to Agents → Add New.
  • Create the agent profile.
  • Publish the profile.
  • Once assigned, you can also assign properties to this agent directly from the property editor.

Allow agents to register themselves

  • Enable front-end registration from Theme Options → General → User Role Settings.

  • Users can select Agent during registration.

  • Agents register via the front-end register form.

  • After logging in, they can:

    • Complete their profile,

    • Add and manage properties from their User Dashboard,

    • Edit or delete their listings anytime.

How Agency and Developer user roles work

Agencies and Developers have similar features but with additional controls:

  • They can add their own agents from their dashboard.

  • They control whether their agents and agent properties are active.

  • Agents under an Agency/Developer use the membership package assigned to the Agency/Developer.

Similarities between roles

  • All types can submit properties if admin wishes that
  • Agency, agency, and developer have their own profile page (different design) You can see examples here https://wpresidence.net/
  • Admin can create different submission membership packages for each user type from admin

Differences between user types:

  • Agency and Developer can add their agents and these agents will use the membership package attached to the agency or developer
  • Agency or developer can enable or disable the agent and its properties.
  • Subscriber doesn’t have a page profile.
  • User dashboard options are managed from theme options

Notes for Administrators

  • You can require manual approval of Agents, Agencies, and Developers.

    • If enabled, you must publish the profile from wp-admin before they can submit properties.

  • Membership packages can be configured differently for each user type.

  • Standard users can log in to save searches or favorites without needing a public profile.
