The first question on the sign-up form is **Who is the website for?** Your answer decides which plans you see and what the setup asks for.

## Steps

1. **Pick REALTOR® or team.** Choose **REALTOR® or team** if you are an agent or a team of agents. You enter your **Brokerage** (required in Canada) and can choose the Free, Basic or MLS plan. Only this account type can get MLS® listings.

2. **Or pick Builder / Developer.** Choose **Builder / Developer** if you are a home builder or sell pre-sale projects. You enter a **Company name**, which becomes the name of your website, and choose the Free, Basic or Builder plan.
3. **Continue to plans.** Finish the form and click **Continue to plans**. The plans shown match your account type.

## Questions

### Can a builder account show MLS® listings?

No. MLS® listings come from the CREA DDF® feed, which is for REALTORS® whose brokerage participates in it. Builder accounts add their homes, communities and show homes as their own listings.

### What is different on a builder website?

The setup asks for your company name and logo instead of a brokerage and headshot, and the dashboard checklist asks for your company logo. The Builder plan has higher listing and page limits for communities, show homes and projects.

### I chose the wrong type. Can I change it?

Send a request from **Help & support** in your admin and we will help.
