The team profile is powerful feature that helps agent teams create a presence on Zillow and Trulia. Team profiles consolidate all team members’ reviews and past sales onto one page to provide a central location for home shoppers to better understand the structure and scope of a team. Team member reviews and sales are aggregated to the team profile. While team profiles provide a combined view, team leaders and team members still retain their individual agent profiles.
Team profiles also enable team leaders to route leads to team members based on different criteria.
Note: When a team member leaves a team, reviews and past sales made during the time they were a member of the team will remain on their profile. New reviews and sales added after they left the team will not be counted toward the team profile.

Member Agents
When you add a team member, you have the option to select whether their membership in your they are member or referral agents. Referral agents do not show up in the team’s public profile, and their reviews and transactions are not rolled up to the team. Team leaders can use this option to facilitate lead routing when they want to send leads to agents whom they don’t want displayed as a part of their public-facing team.
Here are some examples of when referral team members can be used:
- New team member: The team leader wants a new team member to build up reviews prior to being publicly part of the team profile.
- Regional expansion: The team leader is expanding to a new region but wants to maintain profile focus on a current region.
- Referrals: The team leader wants to refer out certain leads to another agent.
