**Content:**

The Dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in. It is your command center: profile status, property cards, token balance, notifications, and quick actions all in one place.

### Left Sidebar

The sidebar is your primary navigation. Every major section is listed here:

- **Dashboard** — Your current view.
- **Directory** — Searchable database of all ReiSearch users.
- **Profile** — Your public profile page.
- **Network** — Your connections, buyers, team, and invitations.
- **Marketplace** — Map-based property listings from all users.
- **Properties** — Your property drafts, shared properties, published listings, offers, and folders.
- **Presentations** — Your deal presentations and the Offer Accelerator tool.
- **App Center** — Third-party integrations hub.
- **Settings** — Account, profile, billing, and support.
- **Support** — Help center and contact options.

The sidebar also shows your token balance, an upgrade plan banner (Free plan users), and a light/dark theme toggle at the bottom.

### Top Header

The header bar appears on every page. It contains:

- **Universal Search Bar** — Search across people, properties, cities, and ZIP codes. Results appear as you type, grouped by category.
- **Messages Icon** — Quick access to messaging with an unread count badge.
- **Notifications Bell** — Alerts for comp results, property shares, connection requests, and buy box matches.
- **Grid Menu** — A quick-access grid of navigation shortcuts.
- **User Avatar** — Your profile photo with a dropdown for profile and account options.

### Profile Card (Top Left)

Shows your profile photo, name, profile completion percentage, and verification badge. Click through to complete your profile.

### Tokens Wallet Card

Displays your total token balance and current plan name (Free, Starter, Core, or Scale). Click to view billing details and purchase tokens.

### Account Setup Checklist

A guided onboarding checklist with four categories:

- **Profile Setup** (upload picture, public info, social media, expertise, buy box)
- **Networking Actions** (first connection, explore Directory, invite contacts, add buyer buy box)
- **Property Tools** (add a draft, share a property, publish to Marketplace)
- **Communications** (messages, property threads, notifications)

Each category shows a completion percentage. Click any item to jump directly to that task.

### Quick Action Cards

Three cards for fast access to core workflows:

- **Add New Property** — Start creating a property draft. Includes a Quick Tour button for first-time users.
- **Expand Your Network** — Opens the Directory for finding and connecting with other REI professionals.
- **Create Buy Box** — Opens the buy box form to define your investment criteria.

### Property Cards Carousel

A horizontal scrollable row of property cards. Use the tabs to filter: Drafts, Shared, Published, Offers, View All, My Folder, Address Requests.

Each card shows the property photo, price, deal type badge (color-coded), address, beds/baths/square footage, and shared-with avatars.

### Notifications Panel

Located on the right side. Shows real-time notifications for comp results, property shares, connection requests, and system alerts. Each one has a timestamp and dismiss option.

### Google Contacts (Right Sidebar)

If connected, shows imported Google contacts with an Invite button per contact.

### Feedback Button

Found in the sidebar footer. Use it to submit product feedback or report issues.
