1. What the Personal Profile Is & Why It Matters

Your personal profile is the page a client sees when they click the About button next to your name in the Your Team section of their client portal. It gives clients a way to get to know you — your background, credentials, personality, and how to reach you — all in one place.

A complete profile builds trust, adds a personal touch to the client experience, and reinforces that they are working with a real person who cares about their file.

The About button only appears on your card in the client portal if you have configured your profile. A blank profile means clients see nothing when they click it. Take the time to fill this out — it makes a meaningful difference in the client experience.

2. Where to Find Profile Settings

Profile settings can be accessed in two ways:

Via Get Started page

Get Started page → Phase 2 (or the relevant phase) → click Edit Profile and Signatures. Opens a module with all profile tabs.

Via Settings

Settings → My Account → Personal Profile tab. Full settings page with all options.

3. Profile Tabs — What Each One Covers

Personal

Banner image, profile picture, bio, hobbies, interests, fun facts, hometown, birthday. The human side of your profile — what clients see when they want to know who you are.

Professional

Years of experience, certifications, specialties, education, and a description of why you do what you do. The credibility side of your profile.

Social proof

Google review link and any awards, recognitions, or industry achievements. Trust-building credentials.

Connect

All your social media links, booking links, website, and any other relevant URLs. How clients (and partners) can connect with you beyond email.

Media

Any videos you want embedded on your profile — introduction videos, testimonials, or educational content.

Visibility

Controls whether your profile appears on the team page in the client portal. Toggle off if you want to be assigned to files without being visible to clients.

4. Step-by-Step Profile Setup

Personal tab

1

Add a banner image

Upload a banner/header image for your profile page. This appears at the top of your profile when a client clicks About. Use a professional image — a team photo, office shot, or branded graphic works well.

2

Add a profile picture

Upload a professional headshot. This appears on your card in the client portal's Your Team section and at the top of your profile.

3

Write your bio

A short written introduction about yourself — who you are, what you do, and what makes you different. Keep it friendly and genuine.

4

Add personal details

Fill in any of the optional personal fields: hobbies, interests, fun facts, hometown, birthday. These make your profile feel personal and memorable rather than generic.

Professional tab

5

Add years of experience

Enter how long you have been in the mortgage industry.

6

List your certifications

Add any professional designations or certifications (e.g. CFP, AMP, CMPS).

7

List your specialties

What types of mortgages or client situations do you specialize in? (e.g. first-time buyers, self-employed, commercial, reverse mortgages)

8

Write your why

A short statement about why you got into the mortgage industry and what drives you. Clients connect with authenticity — this field is worth taking seriously.

Social proof tab

9

Add your Google review link

Paste the URL to your Google review page so clients can easily leave a review or see what others say about you.

10

Add awards and recognitions

List any industry awards or recognitions (e.g. Top Producer, President's Club, Winners Circle). These build credibility at a glance.

Connect tab

11

Add your social media links

Add your Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or any other platforms you use professionally.

12

Add your booking link

If you use a booking tool (e.g. Calendly), add the link here so clients can book time with you directly from your profile.

Media tab

13

Add videos

Embed any video content you want on your profile — an introduction video, a client testimonial, or an educational piece. Paste the video URL.

Visibility tab

14

Set profile visibility

Toggle whether your profile appears on the team page in the client portal. Leave ON if you want clients to see you and be able to click About. Toggle OFF if you want to be assigned to files without being publicly visible to clients.

5. Saving Your Profile

  • After completing all desired tabs, click Save Profile.

  • Your profile is immediately live in the client portal — any client who clicks About on your card will see the updated profile.

  • You can return and edit your profile at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon saving.

6. Editing Another User's Profile (Admins)

Admins can edit the profile of other team members — useful for onboarding new staff or ensuring everyone's profile is complete.

  • Go to Settings → My Account → Personal Profile (or access via Get Started).

  • At the top of the profile editor, find the Editing For dropdown.

  • Click the dropdown and select the team member whose profile you want to edit.

  • Make changes and click Save Profile — the changes are applied to that user's profile.

This is particularly useful during team onboarding — an admin can set up basic profile information for new team members before they log in for the first time.

7. Email Signatures — Overview

Email signatures in Broki are used on all outgoing emails sent through the platform — document requests, scenario updates, offer notifications, partner updates, and any other communications. Having a well-formatted signature is important for professional and consistent client communications.

There are two ways to create a signature in Broki:

Gmail style rich text (recommended)

A visual editor where you paste or type your signature. No code required. Best for most users.

Custom HTML

A code editor where you paste HTML code for a fully custom designed signature. Best for users who want a highly formatted signature with images, icons, and links. Can use an AI tool like ChatGPT to generate the HTML.

8. Setting Up an Email Signature — Gmail Style (Recommended)

📍 Settings → My Account → Email Signatures

1

Go to Email Signatures

Navigate to Settings → My Account → Email Signatures. Alternatively, access it from the Get Started page → Edit Profile and Signatures → Email Signature tab.

2

Select Gmail style rich text

Choose the Gmail Style Rich Text editor option — this is the visual editor.

3

Clear the placeholder content

Delete any default or placeholder text that appears in the editor.

4

Copy your existing signature

If you already have an email signature in Gmail, Outlook, or another email client, open that account and copy your existing signature (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C).

5

Paste into the editor

Paste your copied signature directly into the rich text editor. The formatting, images, and links from your existing signature should carry over correctly.

6

Adjust if needed

Review the pasted signature and make any edits to formatting, spacing, or content as needed.

7

Click Save

Scroll to the bottom of the editor and click Save Signature. Your signature is now saved and active.

✓ This is the fastest way to get a professional signature set up in Broki — especially if you already have a well-formatted signature in your email client. It takes under 2 minutes.

9. Setting Up an Email Signature — Custom HTML

For a more custom designed signature with images, award badges, social media icons, and styled layouts — use the Custom HTML editor.

1

Go to Email Signatures and select Custom HTML

Navigate to Settings → My Account → Email Signatures and select the Custom HTML editor option.

2

Generate your HTML code

The easiest way to create a custom HTML signature is to use an AI tool like ChatGPT. Upload any reference images (logo, award badges, icons), describe the layout you want, and ask it to generate an HTML email signature code. Request the output as raw HTML code.

3

Paste the HTML code

Copy the HTML code from ChatGPT and paste it into the Custom HTML editor in Broki.

4

Preview and adjust

Review how the signature renders. If any images are not displaying, ensure the image URLs in the HTML are publicly accessible hosted URLs (not local file paths). Re-generate or adjust the HTML if needed.

5

Click Save

Click Save Signature. Your custom HTML signature is now active.

When asking an AI to generate your HTML signature, provide: your name and title, phone number, email, website, office address, any award badge image URLs, social media links, and a reference image of a signature you like. The more context you give, the better the output.

10. Managing Multiple Signatures & Setting a Default

You can save multiple email signatures in Broki — useful if you send different types of communications where different signatures are appropriate, or if you are a team lead managing multiple personas.

  • Each saved signature appears in your Signatures list at Settings → My Account → Email Signatures.

  • To set one as your default, click Set Default next to the signature you want. The default signature is automatically used on all outgoing communications unless you manually select a different one at the time of sending.

  • To edit an existing signature, click Edit next to it — the editor opens with the saved content ready to modify.

  • When sending any communication (document requests, offer updates, etc.), you can switch which signature is used by selecting from the signature dropdown in the send module.
