Already own a .realtor domain? Here's how to point it to your Roomvu site — about ~10–15 min, no tech skills needed.
Connecting your own domain makes your Roomvu site look fully yours — www.yourname.realtor instead of a roomvu.com link. You'll do it in two places: add two records inside get.realtor, then enter your domain back in Roomvu and save.
What you'll need
✅ Your NAR member login (NRDS ID) for get.realtor.
✅ A .realtor domain you already own.
✅ About ~10–15 min. Changes can take up to 24 hours to fully go live.
The two records you'll add
Add an A record for your root domain and a CNAME for www. These values are the same for every Roomvu site.
Type | Host / Name | Value |

⚠️ LEAVE THESE ALONE
Don't change or delete your
TXTorMXrecords. Those run your email and account verifications — editing them can break your inbox.Turn off any domain forwarding or redirect first. If your domain currently forwards to another website, that forwarding overrides the records above and your site won't load.
Step by step in .realtor
.R · NAR member domain — often free · Medium · ~10–15 min
Where to go: get.realtor → Sign in (NAR login) → My Domains → Your .realtor domain → Manage DNS
Steps:
Go to get.realtor and sign in with your NAR member login (NRDS ID).
Open your .realtor domain dashboard.
Look for Manage DNS / Advanced DNS. (If you only see Forwarding, see the note below.)
Add an A record: host @, value
138.197.154.187.Add a CNAME record: host www, value @.
Save. If your domain was forwarding to realtor.com or a landing page, remove that forwarding.

💡 Watch out for:
Free member .realtor domains often ship pre-set to forward to a profile page — that forwarding has to come off.
The same steps apply to a .realestate domain if you claimed one.
Domain-level questions (login, renewal) go through get.realtor support, not Roomvu.
⚠️ Heads up on .realtor On the free .realtor tier you may only be able to forward the domain, not set A/CNAME records. If you don't see DNS records at all, you can forward the domain to your Roomvu profile URL as a fallback — but a real A + CNAME connection is better. If you're stuck, book a session and we'll set it up with you.
Last step: finish in Roomvu
Once your records are saved, head back to Settings → Website in Roomvu, type your domain into Enter your domain, and click Save Changes. Roomvu checks the connection and switches your site over.
How long until it's live?
Most domains connect within an hour or two. Give it a full day before worrying.
Milestone | Timing |
You save | Immediately |
First propagation | A few minutes |
Usual live | 1–2 hours |
Worst case | Up to 24–48 hrs |
DNS changes spread across the internet — usually quick, occasionally up to a day or two.
How to check it worked
✅ Open
www.yourname.realtorin a private/incognito window — you should see your Roomvu site.✅ Try it without
wwwtoo. Both should load.✅ The padlock (SSL) can take a little longer to appear — that's normal right after connecting.
✅ Want to peek behind the scenes? Search your domain on a free tool like whatsmydns.net to watch the A record update worldwide.
Troubleshooting
My domain still shows the old site That's almost always leftover forwarding or browser cache. Remove any redirect/forwarding at .realtor, then check again in a private/incognito window. DNS can also still be propagating — give it a few hours.
The site loads, but www doesn't (or vice-versa) You're missing one of the two records. Make sure you have both: the
Arecord for@and theCNAMEforwww.My email stopped working An
MXorTXTrecord was likely changed or removed. Restore your original mail records — only theAandCNAMEabove should have changed. If unsure, book a session below.It says "Not secure" / no padlock The SSL certificate is issued automatically after your domain connects. It can take from a few minutes up to 24 hours. If it's still missing after a day, reach out.
I only have a free .realtor domain Some free plans only allow forwarding, not custom DNS records. You can forward to your Roomvu profile as a fallback, but a real A + CNAME connection is better. Book a session and we'll find the best option with you.
