Why would I want a client to review me on RateMyAgent?
Reviews are one of the most powerful tools for building trust and credibility with potential clients. Just as people read reviews before booking a hotel or choosing a restaurant, buyers and vendors research agents before deciding who to work with.
RateMyAgent reviews stand out because they are verified—each one is linked to a genuine property transaction. This ensures reviews are authentic and trustworthy. Every review can display:
The property address
Photos
Sale price (when available)
A timestamp showing when it was submitted
This transparency makes your reviews more impactful than plain text testimonials. RateMyAgent also provides tools to help you collect, showcase, and share reviews, so you can highlight your track record and customer satisfaction across multiple platforms.
In short, reviews help you:
Build credibility and trust with prospective clients
Demonstrate transparency through verified feedback
Showcase your successes to a wider audience
Who can leave a review on RateMyAgent?
To maintain the accuracy and integrity of reviews, only people directly involved in a completed property transaction with an agent can submit feedback. This means:
Buyers and sellers of sold properties can leave reviews
Reviews from agents or unrelated parties are not permitted
Reviews from vendors who did not sell a property are not currently supported (though this may be added in the future)
Do you need an invitation?
No. While an agent or agency can request a review, buyers and sellers can also leave one independently by:
Visiting ratemyagent.com
Searching for the agent and the relevant property address
Confirming they were the true buyer or seller
Agreeing to RateMyAgent’s terms and conditions before submitting their review
Documentation is generally not required unless there’s a need for additional verification.
Landlords and tenants
For agencies on an Enterprise subscription, reviews can also be requested from landlords and tenants.
Note: If a review mentions another agent (other than the one listed), it will be moved to the correct profile without notice.
How to leave a review
Leaving a review is simple:
Search for the agent on the RateMyAgent website.
Click on the agent’s profile.
Select ‘Review [Agent’s Name]’.
Follow the prompts to complete and submit your feedback.
✅ Takeaway: RateMyAgent reviews are genuine, transparent, and directly linked to real property transactions. By encouraging your clients to leave reviews, you’re building a credible online presence that attracts future buyers and vendors.
