How to Add Additional Buyers to a Portfolio

TL;DR

Add a spouse, partner, or trusted advisor to an existing portfolio so they can view properties and stay aligned—without giving them agent-level access. Only agents can do this, and added buyers automatically receive an intro email.


When to use this

Use this when:

  • The primary buyer wants to include a spouse or partner
  • A financial advisor, lawyer, or consultant needs visibility
  • Decisions are stalling because stakeholders aren’t seeing the same properties
  • You want fewer side conversations and tighter alignment
Key rule: Buyers cannot add other buyers themselves. This is agent-controlled by design.


Step-by-step instructions

Best for: Spouses, partners, or non-agent advisors


  1. Open the relevant Portfolio.
  2. Locate the Prepared for section at the upper section of the page.
  3. Click Card Icon behind the clients name.
  4. In the view that opened under Email click the
  5. New field will be created
  6. Enter the additional person’s email.
  7. Save changes.


What happens next

  • The additional buyer is added instantly.
  • They receive an automatic introductory email with access instructions.
  • They can view properties and follow the search—without seeing agent-only data.


Common issues & tips

  • “My buyer can’t add their spouse”

→ Correct. Only agents can add additional buyers. This prevents access abuse and keeps compliance clean.

  • Didn’t receive the email?

→ Ask the added buyer to check spam or promotions. You can re-add them if needed.

  • Confusing buyer vs co-agent roles

→ Buyers = viewers/commenters

→ Co-agents = internal collaborators (Team add-on only)

  • Privacy check

→ Additional buyers do not see:

    • Private agent notes
    • Seller or seller-agent details
  • Best practice

→ Add all decision-makers early. Late additions almost always slow down closing.
