We strongly recommend you take the live class so you can ask questions, meet other agents and have the most current information.
REQUIRED Onboarding Orientation Class
This mandatory class is taught by one of our broker liaisons, Kendra Jenks. If you can’t make the upcoming meeting, you may join another one, as it is the same training every Wednesday.
This very important Orientation covers everything you need to know about being an agent with Kelly Right Real Estate.
You will learn how to use the Agent Portal, our transaction and commission process, broker & staff introductions and their contact information, branding/logos/marketing policies and materials, important forms, weekly training & monthly conference call information, office information (addresses, license #s, broker info, etc…), where to have wires/checks sent (hint: it is always the headquarters office in Spokane) and so much more!

Agent Networking
Facebook Groups
We have two Kelly Right Real Estate Agent groups on Facebook, both with different purposes. We encourage you to join and participate!
Agent Learning And Discussion
Network with your fellow agents, discuss issues and ask for any help or pointers! However, this group is for learning and discussion, not for promotion or sharing listings or personal pages.
Marketing And Listing Sharing Group
This group is where you are welcomed and encouraged to share and promote your listings, open houses, referrals, marketing flyers, post about selling your extra lock boxes/signs and etc.
Paperless Pipeline
Paperless Pipeline is our secure, easy to learn, and required document system for your transactions.
After your onboarding, you will receive an email with account and login instructions.
Learn more on our page about transactions and referrals.
Scams And Company Communication
Scams and fraudulent communications are everywhere. You may even see some that claim to be from the company, other agents, banks, title companies, or even from Joe Kelly.
We DO send company emails and texts, and they will always be very company specific. We won’t ever randomly message you to ask “can you call me”, “can you get me gift cards”, “can you open this link”, etc. Texts from Kelly Right will be coming from our chat line: 509-400-4132
For more about scams, scam types and general safety, see more on our Career Guidelines and Safety page.
How To Edit Your Agent Profile
Step 1 – Log in to your Profile
Login account information: If you are still in the process of being onboarded, you may not have received your login information and your profile link yet, depending on the current onboarding caseload. We are still working on onboarding you and you will receive it soon. In the meantime, this page you are currently reading is your Agent Portal access page to our company tools and resources.
Login for the Agent Portal and your Agent Profile: The login to your profile is the same login info you used to access this Agent Portal. If you forget your login, it will be the same email address on your profile (you can reset the password if needed). You can do an Agent Search to find your profile if you forget which email is used.
- Login with your email address and password that was sent to you in your Welcome email. If you do not remember your password, use the Forgot Password link to request your password.
- Once logged in, you will see your profile page
- Click the Gear icon on the right side of your profile page, then click Edit Profile from the drop down menu.
Step 2 – Edit Your Profile
Edit your Agent Profile on our Agent Roster: Fill out your agent profile that appears on our website's Agent Search. Examples: add a profile picture, your areas served (we recommend at least 5 cities for the best lead results), your website, business social media links, your professional tagline, client reviews, designations and a short bio. If you would like to change the header image, be sure the banner image size is 1500 x 300 px.
Social Media Links: Many agents have been adding broken or incorrect social media links to their Agent Profiles. Once you save your links to your page, please click on the link to test that it works. Links will not have spaces between words, % signs, and are usually not the same as the title of your page/account. You need the correct, full website hyperlink for them to work, not the @ or #.
- Your Edit Profile form will be displayed where you can make changes to your profile.
- Include your specialties in your bio as they are searchable from our Agent Search (ex: farm/ranch, commercial, rentals, foreclosures, veterans, seniors, luxury, waterfront, condos, land, constructions...).
- For best results on writing your real estate biography, discuss your real estate experience first. Then you can list your personal information such as hobbies, etc. This is because clients won't often scroll down to read the entire biography.
- We suggest listing approx 5-10 cities that you serve in your bio. If your city is not appearing as a choice, contact us with the city/state and we can add it.
- You can also add testimonials! Users can also easily leave reviews on your profile page.
Step 3 – Save Your Changes
- To save your profile edits, click the orange "Update Profile" button on the bottom of the page to save your information.
- Once your edits are published, please review your page to check that all of your links work, and for any other issues that need to be corrected.
Step 4 –Your Agent Search Profile Website vs. BoldTrail Technology Website
Second Agent Roster on BoldTrail:
The previous information is for your agent profile website on Kelly Right Real Estate’s Agent Search. This enables staff, other agents, referrals, and clients to be able to find you based on your: name, location, specialties and languages at kellyright.com.
We have a second agent roster on BoldTrail, kellyrightrealestate.com. Only agents who sign up for kvCORE will appear on this second roster. If you or a client searches online for you and sees you are not on our roster, they are looking at the BoldTrailwebsite, as every agent is on our main website Agent Search on kellyright.com
BoldTrail is a personalized, semi-custom website. It has powerful CMA tools, an idx listing search to help draw in leads, CRM builder, branded mobile app, lead generating tools and more. This industry leading technology is built to help your business grow. This is a website and lead generating option that you MUST actively work on in order for it to work to it’s fullest potential. We offer a lot of training and help in getting your BoldTrail account started. To learn about BoldTrail, visit here.
To sign up for a free BoldTrail website and to appear on our second online agent roster, you must contact us to have it set up for you. We will then send you log in and training information. BoldTrail websites that are not being used, will be inactivated to open up the lead opportunities and seats to those who are able to use it.
Your @kellyright.com alias forwarding email
This is a forwarding email address that sends emails it receives to your personal email address. You do not sign into the Kelly Right alias email, you cannot send emails from it and you are not required to use it.
There is no mailbox to sign in to, or to send emails from. Your assigned yourname@kellyright.com email will automatically forward any emails sent to it, to your personal email (example to the email address you gave to us when you signed up with Kelly Right, so your hotmail, yahoo, gmail, icloud… etc.) You then reply to those emails from your personal email provider.
Alias emails are a mix of your name. It will usually be your first initial, then your last name, followed by @kellyright.com.
Example: If your name is, Gerard Smith, your Kelly Right email address would be: gsmith@kellyright.com. If this email address has already been assigned to another agent or employee with a similar name/initials, then we will give you an alternate version such as: gerard@kellyright.com, smithg@kellyright.com, gerardsmith@kellyright.com or something similar.
If you prefer to set up your own professional, real estate email address where you can send and receive emails, there are options through companies like GoDaddy.
Update Your Office & Contact Information
If you were previously with another agency, make sure to update your company name to Kelly Right Real Estate. Do Not shorten “Real Estate” to “Realty”.
By not having your office information current, the state and MLS/ Associations consider this “deceptive and false advertising” and they can and will fine you for not having your correct office information updated.
Examples of places to update/edit:
Your website(s), your website domain link, email signature, email address, Facebook business page, voicemail message, cover photos, logos, Realtor.com profile, Zillow profile, LinkedIn, Yelp profile, Google profile, blog, YouTube channel, Instagram, business cards, postcards, printed signs, domain name re-directs to updated websites.
Common real estate websites to update include: Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Land.com, Homes.com, LandAndFarm.com,
Contact Number:
Be sure you have your personal phone number in your MLS profile, in ShowingTime, all your marketing and on your listings.
It is important to have your contact information in your marketing where you can be reached directly. Agents have missed out on Showing Time appointments and after hours calls because they have not put a phone number on their listings where they can be reached.
