Agents with multiple offices : How to switch offices

Agents with multiple offices : How to switch offices

In loft47 an agent is only able to be active in a single reporting office. There are some situations where you may have an agent with deals in more than one office.


Loft47 will automatically assign the reporting office that was active when the deal was created.


If the Agents has inactive offices, as well as the active reporting office you are able to assign one of the inactive offices on a per deal basis as outlined below.


The reporting office is tracked on all commission performance and will also post to the accounting system. Just be aware that any reporting office selected for a deal will report on their agent performance as well as in the accounting records.


In order to set up a second office, you’ll need to ensure that the primary office is the active office and the secondary office is inactive. This way all new deals will be automatically assigned to their primary office.


In the example we are outlining, the agent has one primary office and has several open deals that are already assigned to that office. We would need to make sure that we are adding a secondary office to be active before the agents actual anniversary date.


Because they already have several transactions in the system that are assigned to the correct office, we are going to first deactivate the primary office.


We will then add their secondary office and inactivate it.


And finally, we will re-add their primary office as the current reporting office.


It’s important to note that the active dates for any office cannot overlap so always set those dates at least a day apart.


When you create a new reporting office, you will need to re-add any profile deduction for this agent.


NOW LET'S LOOK AT THE STEPS :

STEP 1 : 
For an agent with an anniversary date for example of February 1, 2023 you would go into their edit office profile and move the agent anniversary date back to a few days before the actual anniversary date - so you can see here we selected January 27, 2023



Then scroll down further and you will see the INACTIVATE field - go ahead and inactivate a day later January 28, 2023 and then hit SAVE


You will now see on the agent profile there is an INACTIVE OFFICE for those dates as shown below - 



STEP 2 : 
Go ahead and add a new reporting office for the second office -



**You will then INACTIVATE this second office as of date prior to the agents actual anniversary date (so January 31 in this case) as you did at STEP 1 above **

STEP 3 : 
Once you have inactivated the second office you will notice the DEDUCTIONS have gone from the agents profile -


Go ahead and ADD DEDUCTIONS BACK to the agent profile -



STEP 4 :
Now you need to make ACTIVE the main office for the agent again so please go to ADD REPORTING office as you did earlier in Step 2 -



Select the MAIN OFFICE and make it ACTIVE and this should automatically be the Agent's actual anniversary date if you have followed the steps above.

STEP 5 :

When working on a deal in the PEOPLE PAGE when adding your agent to the deal you can go ahead and select their office from the drop down options (note you will see the inactive office and active office for the main office so you can select either of the options) -
