Learn your way around the Partner Portal
Your partner portal is where all the action will be. Most everything you do with Sunroom is done through your portal - from submitting a property, to setting renter criteria, checking in on listing leads and tour feedback, and reviewing and approving applicants.
You can access your partner portal from the app or from a web browser. Please email or call your sales contact if you would like a tour of your portal. You can also watch a recorded version here >
Get to know your account manager
You get a dedicated account manager assigned to you as soon as you sign up as a Sunroom partner. They are your personal resource throughout the entire Sunroom leasing process. Please contact them directly if you have questions or concerns. Your account manager and their contact information will be listed prominently in your partner portal.
Submit Your First Property
It's simple to submit a property with Sunroom. Click the green 'Market Property' in your partner portal. We'll ask you a series of questions about how you want to work with us and information about the property. This should only take a few minutes, and it's much easier to fill out than it is on the MLS.
Once you've completed the questions, you're done! You will see the property show up in the 'Going to Market' section of your partner portal. From there, the Sunroom team goes to works to get the listing live.
