Q: Why the new brand?
A: We are evolving. We are the first of a new solution category: Local Expert Marketing. This is the discipline of systematically attracting new clients by becoming a consistent and credible source of valuable and authentic content in the market.
Q: Why was the name "Renowned" chosen?
A: Research was an important part of the process, and a big takeawaywas that agents and real estate business owners associated RateMyAgent as exclusively a review platform. The introduction of the Renowned brand marks a strategic choice we've made about the future of our business, as we evolve our product into a comprehensive marketing solution for real estate — beyond just review collection. This strategy introduces a dual branding approach where RateMyAgent retains its core consumer-facing platform for validating agent expertise through reviews, while Renowned focuses on supporting professional marketing by leveraging these insights into proactive content strategies.
Q: What is happening to RateMyAgent?
A: RateMyAgent isn’t going anywhere. It remains the trusted, consumer-facing brand that connects real estate professionals with their clients. When agents send review requests, clients will still see RateMyAgent in the emails, website and review pages they interact with. Furthermore, RateMyAgent exclusively handles all client-facing interactions, preserving its role as a familiar and credible platform for client engagement, while Renowned operates behind the scenes to support agent-focused marketing tools.
Q: Has my subscription and features changes? Q: What is the relationship between RateMyAgent and Renowned?
A: Your subscription will remain as is, unless you decide to make changes. Renowned's transition from RateMyAgent does not impact your current subscription plan. Users will continue to enjoy the same benefits as before the rebrand, with no additional costs associated with this change. If you're an existing user, you do not need to make any adjustments to maintain your current subscription benefits. Renowned utilizes data from RateMyAgent such as reviews and listings to assist agents in creating impactful marketing strategies while RateMyAgent remains focused on client interactions.
